| New Door Access System Installed. RFID Working Again! (Thursday, Aug 9th - Joe ) | Well, it's been a couple months of various issues plaguing the RFID system. We finally today installed an all-new-simpler build that hopefully fixed the several glitches that were occurring. Apologies for the delay and general frustration. I personally would make time to go fix it , and it would be working those nights, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot. By replacing the whole system, should be solid again. And We will have on-hand-backups!! :)
