Just a little teaser - things one can do with the analog thing... :-)

Happy analog computing!

Little weekend project - a cheap camera adapter made from some plastic sheets, glued together. Now, I can take photos without any reflections on the oscilloscope screen. The phase space plot is - again - the hyperjerk system from a few days ago. It was taken with my iPhone in "life picture" mode so that I could then create a "long term exposure" picture. The oscilloscope used has the rare P11 phosphor resulting in that beautiful blue color. :-)

Phase space plot of a hyperjerk system (sorry for the distortion of the grid - this was taken freehand from an angle to avoid reflections from the windows).

Mit THAT kann man in die Welt der analogen Computer eintauchen. Nicht aus "Retro", sondern auch, weil Analog-Digital-Hybridtechnik gerade im Kommen ist.

Computers have been digital for half a century. Why would anyone want to resurrect the clunkers of yesteryear?

On Sunday, April 2nd, there will be a analog computing hands-on-event at the Heinz-Nixdorf-Museumsforum in Paderborn:

https://www.hnf.de/das-hnf/presse/pressemitteilungen/ansicht/artikel/sachen-machen-im-hnf-bei-freiem-eintritt.html

I will talk about analog and hybrid computing in general, followed by a hands-on-course in analog computing where participants can implement little problems on analog computers and watch the solutions on an oscilloscope screen.

Das Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum lädt zum großen „Sachen-machen-Tag“: Am Sonntag, 2. April steht das Museum allen Besuchern kostenfrei offen und bietet dabei von 10 bis 18 Uhr ein buntes Programm zum Spielen, Staunen und Mitmachen.

Solving Legendre's differential equation proved to be quite tricky. Have fun with our latest application note:
