A modular computing unit 1 of a generally flat configuration has a housing (10) presenting external facets (10a, 10b), on each of which there is a respective set (11) of external electrical power and signal connectors (12) and physical coupling elements (13). The housing (10) is of generally hexagonal shape, the facets (10a, 10b) being arranged around the circumference of the hexagon. Facets (10a) are inclined upwardly at an angle and alternate with facets (10b) that are inclined downwardly at the same angle. The connector sets (11) are disposed on the facets (10a, 10b) in consistent positions and in a regular array around the housing (10). The physical coupling elements (13) are disposed within or alongside the connector sets (11). Any number of modular computing elements (1) may readily be connected to one another in various different 2D and 3D configurations, with power and signal connections via the connector sets (11). |
