"Anna"

I wrapped up (after more than 6 months?) my little #analogcomputer trainer (hobbyist machine—whatever).

It's open—Github repo linked here. I made a few kits available (they were expensive to make though—but nice and with a nice manual!).

I "programmed" (patched) Lunar Lander. A special "metering mode" on "Anna" reads analog voltages representing gravity, thrust, velocity, position—displays a small lunar module descending.

(Breadboard is not for prototyping—it's how you program/wire-up the modules!)

Islamic filigree created in Affinity Designer (a couple of hours), cut out of card-stock with a laser (about 5 minutes).

So delicate… I was surprised it held together.
