Hi, I have just noticed that my Pro Plus Rx with Installed S/w v9.0 b003 is showing the date as 57-01-2021 instead of 26-02-2021. The time is always very accurate. Don't know how long it has been like this but just noticed it.
My Config_Options.h file rules for Auto Summer Times are as follows
TimeChangeRule aEDT = {"AEDT", First, Sun, Oct, 2, 660}; //UTC + 11 hours
TimeChangeRule aEST = {"AEST", First, Sun, Apr, 3, 600}; //UTC + 10 hours
Timezone myTZ(aEDT, aEST);
The ntp settings are as follows.
#define TIMESERVER "pool.ntp.org"
Any ideas?
Dave

Hi Dave,
Please check the AVR boards manager version you are using to compile the code. As stated on the download page, for the Pro2 PLUS it shouldn't be greater than 1.6.21.
IMPORTANT:
Always compile using the provided libraries.
Tested with Arduino IDE 1.8.13 using AVR Boards Manager 1.6.21.
Not work reliably with AVR Boards Manager equal or greater than 1.6.22
Additionally there are on the forum some topics about this matter.
King regards

I have another problem now! I can't get the Arduino Mega to go into the bootloader state to upload the sketch. Have tried with a spare Mega I have and both are the same. The avrdude program tries 5 times but times out. Do I need to buy another Mega? I have read that some Megas have an improper value capacitor connected to the chip input line which prevents it from entering the correct state.
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

Don't know if I can give much help with this one... I suppose that when you say Arduino Mega you are referring to the Meduino Mega used on the Pro2 PLUS, right?
If yes, and you have removed the diode has recommended, them the Meduino, can only be programmed inserted on the Pro2 PLUS board and with the board powered.
There are many reasons for this error come up, and it doesn't necessarily means that your Mega is damaged.
If possible try with another computer

Hi,
I'm having the same issue with date, but it appears to be that the 1.6.21 version won't work on 64bit systems.
I had to use 1.8.6, otherwise I received this error "Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/4.9.2-atmel3.5.4-arduino2/bin/avr-g++: bad CPU type in executable"
Is there any other workaround, or something that can be updated to allow an AVR version greater than 1.6.21 ?
Cheers,
Michael
