A hobbyist analog computer I will open-source.

I have been through a number of iterations of adders, integrators… It's starting to coalesce now into a finished PCB. (Iterating is slow though at the PCB stage since we're round-tripping via Asian PCB fabs.)

As often happens, I want to learn about something (analog computing in this case) and I find that a deep dive where a kit comes out at the end is an enjoyable way to explore (I also get more experience with KiCad and, for this project, SMT).

The seed of this were a few articles on building a "lunar lander" circuit in early '70's electronic hobbyist magazines I found online. Pre-home-computer, how does one create a lunar landing simulation? Why with op-amps and panel meters of course.

And so that is where I began. But I'm way past that now though by making instead a general purpose analog computer.

Flora Carta - https://floracarta.com

A tool to "Design and keep track of gardens, orchards, and landscape projects."

It's very alpha right now, so its quite ugly, but people are already using it. I'm committed to releasing early and often.

You can see some people's designs here: https://floracarta.com/browse

I'm working on Got, version control like Git, but for files and directories of any size and E2E encrypted.

https://github.com/gotvc/got

Got is built on Blobcache, which is a general-purpose transactional storage layer and E2E encrypted backend.
