dkerfoot Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Can anyone identify the attached? RCA type connections with a joystick port plug. The plug has the Atari logo on it. When I connect it to an A8, the red LED lights up... Edited May 2, 2017 by dkerfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmond Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Is that an AtariLab interface with the sticker peeled off the front? W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) It's a soil tester for optimizing growth. Woot! Edited May 2, 2017 by Keatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's a soil tester for optimizing growth. Woot! Well, then this device is obviously posted in the wrong forum. It should be listed in the "Computer Aided Farming" forum. Sheesh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) That amazing little device can do all that and more, as long as the software is written, and proper sensors/equipment attached to the Atari Lab interface...seriously...(and no, I don't mean there's off-the-shelf equipment you can plug in aside from the starter kit and the light module), you'll have to make the sensor hardware that plugs into it and write the software to collect the sensor data and use it. The Starter kit with temperature sensor and the light module are just a couple of examples...it's a world not yet fully explored on our Atari's. As simple an interface as it is.
