EPE Hybrid Computer by Petros Kronis ==================================== EPE Magazine, November & December 2002 Real-time computation of complex system behaviour is greatly simplified by combining analogue and digital processing techniques -- and that's exactly what we've done in this new Analogue Computer design. Features: * 10 analogue amplifiers * Each can act as an Adder or Integrator * Eight co-efficient multipliers * Three modes of operation, Compute, Hold and Reset * Automatic or Manual control mode. * ATOM microcontroller programmable in BASIC * PCB carries all major components Full step-by-step details are provided in our constructional articles. The software in the Harrier folders is discussed in Part 2 of the Hybrid Computer article, December '02. The programs are demos of a Harrier jump jet in vertical flight. The digital one is standalone, but the analogue version needs the Hybrid Computer connected and running. Parts are available from the usual component sources. Please note that EPE does not provide kits but many of the requirements can be met by our advertisers. The latest version of the software is available from ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/HybridComputer Please refer to the EPE web site for details of ordering back issues, subscriptions etc. http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk Last updated 10th October 2002
