Power

USB-A connector

The Power specitification for The Analog Thing is rather simple: Any standard USB power supply should do. The power demand is really minimal, the integrated DC-DC power supply (TBA 2-0522) can convert 2W of power from 5 VDC to 12 VDC. See Machine Units for details. For the schematics about power supply in the computer, see File:Anathing v1.0 base 1.pdf.

Note that the USB connector is currently of Type A, which is quite unusual for client-like (non USB host) devices. This will probably change in the future.

Also note that USB is adopted only for power and no data transfer at all. The Analog Thing is analog and a USB communication would require the presence of a digital computer (such as a microcontroller) within the Analog Thing.
