FONA 3G date format Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

NMEA RMC message should deliver a date in 'ddmmyy' format. On November 10th, 2020 it returned '270301'. On the 11th it returned '280301'. What is the logic?

I recall reading about a date issue with the FONA 3G (or SIM5320 chip):

Thanks for replying. The info doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Just now checked the link and it's still good.

However, if it still won't load for you just put the below into google, it will be the first link:

Searched around a bit, possible workaround in the post below:

OK, found it. Didn't recognize 'roll over' as a term related to date conversion. Now I have to find out how to do the proper conversion in Python.

Many Thanks!!
