- | ===== Confetti - An Analog Computer ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The [[analog_computer:analog_computer_main| Analog Computer Confetti]] is a modular system that makes it possible to perform all kind of computations and operations on base of electrical voltage.\\ | ||
- | This stack able modular electronic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer|analog computation]] system was and is still developed by Wolfgang Spahn since 2015.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{:undefined:confetti_3702b.jpg?560|}}\\ | ||
- | |||
- | The analog computer Confetti was further developed and presented at the residency at [[https://artscienceblr.org/|Art Science BLR]] and the [[http://www.theisro.org/|Indian Sonic Research Organization]] at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, courtesy of [[http://www.goethe.de/ins/in/en/bag.html|Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan]] in 2016.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | The analog computer was key for the light and sound installation [[http://wolfgang-spahn.de/doku.php/installation:strangeattractors|Strange Attractors]] by Wolfgang Spahn where he "calculated" a Lorenz System to modulate an other Lorenz System.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{:analog_computer:formular_lorenz_system_174230.jpg?560|}}\\ | ||
- | |||
- | Confetti was the basic brick in the installation [[https://dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=symbolic_grounding:symbolic_grounding|Symbolic Grounding]] by Ch.Faubel and W.Spahn.\\ | ||
- | And it was the core of the Installation [[https://wolfgang-spahn.de/doku.php/installation:echo_state_networks|Echo State Network]], an analog neural synthesizer network build out of 150 Confetti Neurons.\\ | ||

- | === Usage and Patching === | ||
- | Each module can run one operation, some boards together can be used for analog computing, designing synthesizer and all other kind of analog electronics.\\ | ||
- | For connecting the Confetti modules one can use the bus on all boards or just use patching wires. Certainly, a combination of both is possible. The connection boards are helpful for putting together a lot of boards.\\ | ||

- | |||
- | === Chips === | ||
- | The in- and outputs can be patched with normal breadboard patching wires. It's manly based on the operational amplifier TL072 and the operation voltage is 12V/-12V.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | === Acknowledge === | ||
- | The analog computer was inspired by the articel "Die Chaos-Maschine: Analoge Computer wiederentdecken" [[https://www.elektormagazine.de/magazine/elektor-201109/3939|Elector Magazine 09-10/2011]] by Maarten H. P. Ambaum and R. Giles Harrison (Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, UK).\\ | ||
- | Further information and wiring examples one can find in the old manuals of analog computer of the online library of the [[http://www.analogmuseum.org/|Analogmuseum]]: [[http://www.analogmuseum.org/english/library.html]].\\ | ||

- | === Analog Artificial Neuron Networks === | ||
- | One can implement analog artificial neuron systems in the analog computer with the | ||
- | [[analog_computer:confetti501_confetti_neuron|Confetti501 Confetti Neurons]] as well as with the outdated boards of the [[pop_neuron:pop_neuron_main|Pop Neurons]].\\ | ||
