In Bonn there is a stall with vintage and used books. For 5 Euros I just bought a #math text book from 1968 that contains a chapter on #AnalogComputer #mathematics and programming:

#Paperware

Meine Session zum Thema #AnalogComputing startet um 18:30 Uhr im Raum IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg. Kommt in Scharen! Es geht um die Zukunft! 😉 #bcbn25 #Barcamp #Bonn #Analogcomputer #anabrid #TheAnalogThing #nerdkram
The power supply of my new Leybold-Heraeus #AnalogComputer needs some technical attention: it only provides -1.46 and +5.4 Volts (instead of -10 & +10). So this 3-phase generator (from the manual) won't work ...

There she is:

#AnalogComputer @vcfe

Today I'm going to #Munich for the @vcfe where I'm exhibiting early #Atari home computers, giving a lecture on the #GOTO controversy and holding an editor-editorial meeting about the next volumes in the #ComputerArchaeology book series. As the icing on the cake, swap (my) #THAT analog computer for a Leyboldt-Haraeus #AnalogComputer.
Für das #BCBN25 am 17. Mai habe ich eine Session zum Thema #AnalogComputing eingereicht. Vielleicht interessierts ja den einen oder die andere, warum eine Technik, die nach alt und verstaubt klingt, möglicherweise die Zukunft in sich birgt. Stichworte: K.I. und Energieverbrauch! 😉 Ich bringe auch einen #AnalogComputer zum Anfassen mit, den „THAT“ („THe Analog Thing“) von #anabrid. #10JahreBCBN #Barcamp #BarcampBonn #Bonn #HybridComputing #Arduino
Nice! I can now edit #gnuplot files in #VSCode and immediately when saving with ⌘S – I’m a Mac – I see the result right beneath it in #VisualStudioCode. 😊 – In case someone’s interested I’m happy to explain how to set this up. #visualization
By the way: The data visualized here was created with my #AnalogComputer „THAT“ from #anabrid. 😎
Mission accomplished! ✅ Ziel war es, den THAT (#Analogcomputer “THe Analog Thing” von anabrid) sauber, reversibel und jederzeit wieder schnell anstöpselbar mit einem Flachbandkabel über den HYBRID Port mit einem #Arduino (MEGA) zu verbinden. #HybridComputing Sketch dazu hier: https://github.com/anabrid/hardware/tree/main/the-analog-thing/arduino_2650_hybrid_controller

The hardware repository holds assorted bits and pieces of hardware we want to release to the community. - anabrid/hardware

Excellent! My little hybrid computing setup works fine now. 🤩 An #Arduino controls the THAT („THe Analog Thing“ by anabrid) via its Hybrid port and reads out the solution of the differential equation for a damped oscillation. The data is then visualized via gnuplot on my Mac. Thanks to Prof. Bernd Ulmann for the Arduino sketch at https://github.com/anabrid/hardware/tree/main/the-analog-thing/arduino_2650_hybrid_controller 😍🙏
