I bought an AI computer with the intention of having both the AI computer and an SPG connected, for redundancy. I was recommended that I should only need the AI computer since having the SPG connected as well would create another point of failure. On my most recent trip, the brand new AI computer failed to register the correct air pressure (thankfully before the dive) and I didn't have the SPG with me to just swap out. I ended up borrowing an SPG from the shop and put the AI computer away. It'll be sent back to the the retailer today for repair or replacement.
If I relied upon the AI computer alone, I would have been out-of-luck this trip. I have a wrist dive computer as the main computer and the AI computer was serving as the backup. The wrist computer is more conservative, which is why its the primary. If it's happy, the backup would be happy too; that's the idea.
Primary computer: wrist
Secondary computer: AI computer console
