ATO, Reef-Pi Noob Question

shollis2814 · Dec 11, 2018

So, my buddy texted me and said he dropped off a Raspberry Pi with Noobs on an SD card because he looked at the reef-pi site and had an extra one lying around.

Tomorrow I have Aquhub's DIY ATO Kit arriving. Is there anyway to incorporate this kit into Reef-pi? I also now have a Jabeo DP-4. I think it will be self-contained with the programming. I still have to calibrate and test with water before I hook it up to my system. I wanted to mention in case there is some compatibility I am not aware of.
