Abstract
A low-cost prototype of a microcomputer system for recording egg collection has been constructed. The computer is interfaced through the game input-output port to a series of microswitches. Rubberized cleats, implanted crosswise on the egg collection belt opposite individual cage boundaries, activate one microswitch to permit the BASIC computer program to associate sectors of the moving belt with contiguous cages. A second microswitch is situated to sense the presence or absence of an egg in each belt sector and thereby provide a data value for each cage. The data file, generated in real time by the computer and containing cage identifications and egg counts, can be simultaneously displayed on video screen, routed to a printer, and written to a disk file.
