AC Jr with serial port?

[KyleO]

Does the AquaController Jr interface with the AquaNotes computer software program?

I see that the AC Jr comes with a serial port and will spend the extra $30. if it interfaces. If not, what is the serial port for on the AC Jr?

Anybody have experience with the AC Jr with serial port?

Yes it interfaces. You need a PC with a serial port and a special cable to connect to the unit.

Cool! No problem with all the computer interface stuff..........that is what I do so I have that covered. I was just a little concerned that the AquaNotes software only mentioned the AC III and the AC Pro as supported units.

Well then you can also make your own serial cable It uses a 8-pin mini din on the controller side. The pinouts are available on the support site.
