Ocean Surge

This program is a loose clone of the ADDAC 508 “Swell Physics”. The program uses a trochoidal wave to simulate the motion of 3 buoys floating on the ocean surface. The relative elevations of these buoys generates control voltage signals, while logical comparisons between them output gate signals.

Controls, Inputs, and Outputs

Control	Effect
`b1`	Change clip mode (clip, reflect, wrap)
`b2	Shift control for knobs
`k1`	Swell size
`b2 + k1`	Buoy spread
`k2`	Agitation
`b2 + k2`	Simulation speed
`din`	Unused
`ain`	CV control (see below)

Output	Description
`cv1`	0-10V representing the height of buoy 1
`cv2`	0-10V representing the height of buoy 2
`cv3`	0-10V representing the height of buoy 3
`cv4`	Gate on if buoy 1 is lower than buoy 2
`cv5`	Gate on if buoy 2 if higher than buoy 3
`cv6`	0-10V representing the average height of all buoys

CV Routing

ain can be used to control any one of:

Swell Size
Buoy Spread
Agitation
Simulation speed

By default it will control the agitation.

To change the CV routing, create/edit config/OceanSurge.json:

{
    "CV_TARGET": "agitation"
}

where CV_TARGET is one of:

agitation
buoy_spread
sim_speed
swell_size

Wave Demo

This demo provides a nice, interactive visualization of the wave used in the simulation.

The d parameter is not used by Ocean Surge.

The l parameter corresponds to the Swell Size (k1) control

The r parameter corresponds to the Agitation (k2) control
