Very nice.

I did take notice of the termperature.  Oh, and the speedometer.   It's not 
going into a DeLorean though?

Subject: [neonixie-l] Corvair instrument panel is lit up

A few months ago, I designed a Nixie instrument panel for my Corvair.
I got it almost all built, then some telescope projects stole my brain. I 
finally finished those projects, and took a day to get the Nixie display board 
running. It worked right away after fixing a couple software bugs.
The controller uses a Teensy 3.2, and will live in a box in the engine 
compartment where all the engine sensors are located. There is an
RS-422 SPI data link. I used 74HC595 shift registers and TD62083 driver arrays 
in a direct-drive design. The tubes are NL-4998 and NL-5870. It runs from 9V 
that's regulated on the controller board, using TaylorEdge HV supplies hiding 
behind the 5870s.
I'm happy to share the design with anyone who's interested. I will let you know 
when it's installed in the car and displaying real numbers.
Bonus points if you can guess what parameter each display area is for.
