A hybrid computer is a computer consisting of an analog computer and a digital computer. The two worlds are connected with ADCs/DACs (analog to digital/digital to analog converters).
This section describes a simple yet quite powerful hybrid computer consisting of THE ANALOG THING and an attached Arduino Mega 2650 micro controller board. Since THE ANALOG THING features a dedicated connector for attaching an external digital computer, only a few connections between this HYBRID connector and the Arduino are required to setup the hardware:
| HYBRID pin | description | destination on Arduino |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | analog x output | AnalogIn 0 |
| 4 | analog y output | AnalogIn 1 |
| 6 | analog z output | AnalogIn 2 |
| 8 | analog u output | AnalogIn 3 |
| 9+10 | GND | GND |
| 13 | enable hybrid mode | D2 |
| 14 | MOP | D3 |
| 16 | MIC | D4 |
