Hooking up

In the midst of a lot of wiring...


...but eventually in a position to plug up my first program on the new front panel. This is Programming Example 8.1 from Ulmann's book Analog Computing (this is the example I used to test the integrator/summer boards back in October)...two integrators (left hand side) and one inverter (right hand side). It worked.

It really is beginning to look like an analogue computer!


Next step is to hook up the final four integrators (top left of panel)...trouble is that each integrator has a three way connector (null potentiometer), a nine way connector (toggle switch - selects INT or SUM mode), twelve banana jack connections plus three LED connections..that's a lot of soldering!
