A couple of questions about robo-tank

[kdx7214]

I've been looking into getting a bit of automation going for my tank and I love the idea of robo-tank. I've been checking out the site and had a few questions though.

1. Does the $270 package include things like the pH card sensor card?
2. Is this completely assembled (aside from inserting the Pi which is mentioned) or does everything need to be assembled manually?

Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike, yeah the main controller has an isolated pH circuit onboard, you can connect any pH probe with a BNC connector. The $270 kit includes the Pi, SD card and all cables so it's all plug and play and fully assembled, as you mentioned you only need to load up the SD card, I have a manual going over that. Only things you need are sensors and equipment and a small screw driver to add the included screw terminal connectors, no soldering required.

And a heads up, unfortunately I just ran out of AC power bars and have been waiting for relays to be in stock, they have them now so I'll have more available in about 10-14 days.

Hey! Not a problem! This is going to be a gift to myself with our tax refund, which is still a week or two out anyway
Thanks!

Right on, it's always nice to get a check instead of sending them another.

I'm in the US and normally that's the case here as well, but my wife and I are low income, so we end up with a refund each year
