To implement large programs, multiple The Analog Things can be connected in minion chains by connecting the MASTER OUT ports to MINION IN ports using ribbon cables.
The Minion mode allows the connection of two or more THAT together to realize a bigger analog computer for more complex tasks or simulations which need more calculator elements than a single device provides. There is no limitation of the number of devices working together. The connection is made with a small flat cable from the jack named MASTER OUT to the next device and it's jack MINION IN. If more than two ANALOG THING needed, the next is connected to the second and so on.
The most left controls all connected devices which must be switched into MINION mode except the first (most left). Speed (OP TIME) and all modes are controlled from this master. In COEFFICIENT mode the values for the eight coefficients on any device can be setup separately while IC/OP/HALT/REP/REPF modes are controlled only from the first (MASTER). All other devices have to stay in MINION mode. Elements of each ANALOG THING can be connected together with patch cables over different devices in the same way you would do for the single device.
