MOD-SIX clock / RPTR-NEX leap year bug.

[H. Carl Ott]

Happy New Year folks!  Hope everybody had a great evening.  

Woke up on the first day of 2016 to a leap year bug on the RPTR-NEX.   

 It's adding a day to the current date, the bug does not affect the time displayed.    

 We'll roll out an official firmware update and instructions in a bit after we test properly.  

Again, this just on the new RPTR-NEX devices, An update can be applied easily through a USB port.  Nothing needs to be done on the MOD-SIX clock itself or any of the older style RPTRs. 

 For anybody who'd like to be a beta tester/early adopter and try out a fix, here is a temporary link to updated RPTR-NEX firmware.

  The RPTR firmware update instructions are on the regular site if you don't already have them.

     Updating Instructions V08-08,  section 2.2. Note the process is a little different on a MAC versus a Windows PC.

Sorry for the trouble.
