The Analog Thing with a program on its patch panel.
The Analog Thing is a nifty educational toy!

This Wiki contains documentation about The Analog Thing (or THAT for short), an affordable Open Source Analog Computer with a focus on education, hobbyists, programmers, scientists and everybody interested in non-traditional computing architectures. THAT can be assembled/recreated by anybody with a suitable background in electronics and some experience in soldering SMD components or purchasedfrom anabrid. To learn more about THAT, please take a look at The Analog Thing FAQ.

We already have around 310 pages edited in total 938 times by 126 active users. We also have already 182 uploaded files which consume around 30MB.

What's in there?

The main entry points for this site document Hardware, Software and Applications.

Here is the category tree resembling a manual:
