Growtronix System

[Ileana Argyris]

Hi Angelo,

I was trying to set up the Growtronix system to test it out but it seems that we're missing one important piece. The Growtronix system has a dongle that is an ethernet to female serial adapter. The problem is that no computers have a serial port nowadays. We need a USB to serial port adapter. I looked for one locally and the only one I could find was 50 dollars. 

This USB to serial port adapter is the one recommended by the Growtronix website and it costs 60 dollars. 

I found a few on Amazon that are under $10 and are Amazon Prime eligible.

Thanks,
