The Analog Thing (abbreviated as THAT) is a small analog computer developed by anabrid under the brand Analog Paradigm for educational and recreational purposes. THAT is not-for-profit and will be available for sale at a net cost price of around around €300. The component list, circuit diagrams and circuit board layouts of THAT are all Open Source. Information on how to build THAT from scratch and how to operate it can be found on this wiki.
Version 1.0: Specifications and Photos
The prototype consists of two main parts: A top PCB with gold-plated through-hole sockets suitable for 2 mm patch cables, and a base PCB, which contains the main electronic circuitry, the manual controls and ports for external connectivity. Additionally a third party voltage instrument (PM438) is used to display coefficient values and, in repetitive operation mode, the operation time of the analog computer.
