- Here's a quick overview of the Analog Computer Kit that I'm working on. I've got it programmed to display the Lorenz attractor.
Paul Horowitz has a nice description of a similar circuit here: frank.harvard.e...
Good design!
The board-to-board connectors carry power and two control signals. The control signals set the run/hold/set initial conditions mode of each integrator.
Do you think analog computers should be revamped in the modern day?
Yes I do. They can exceed the performance and power efficiency of MCU based systems, and often are required pre-processors to support MCU/ASCI/other digital tech. The fault is when folks try to make an analog computer vs. digital argument.
YES. there is ABSOLUTELY A HUGE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR IT. Take a look at the current modular-analog audio frenzy in the music community. Even for simple hobbyists.
The biggest area for analog computing is in AI/Machine learning. In fact you have one inside your skull. One powered by electrochemical reactions.
Excellent
Is this kit available?
AWESOME job, Scott! Thx for sharing. Keep up the cool work...
Drift may be more a result of op amp input bias current than capacitor leakage.
Have you published the circuits? It looks like a good design.
Very nice.
I'll be making a much more detailed and well thought out video soon. This was just a quickie to get something posted. Search "paul horowitz lorenz" in RUclips for a nice description.
Great project. I presume the pins that connect the boards together are for power? The jumper leads connect the board signals?
Superb job!
which type of IC you using? Is it maybe based on AD633 IC
How to make it?? I want to make it in my institute with my students, working as a teacher of IT
Very nice circuit! How did you choose the capacitors? What kind of capacitors did you use? polyestirene, polypropylene, teflon, ceramic, ...?
Is this a kit you got from somewhere or did you design and build it yourself? If the latter, do you plan on making it available for purchase, if the former, where does one get it?
Very Cool!
