I use TLC5916 for all my numitron projects. Stock not available until next year and I only have about 50 left. I have had 500 on order for just over a year now. ☹

Ian, Yes, I've been looking at the TLC5916N.. and no stock anywhere! I did find TLC5917.. same ship but with short detection I believe. There is sporadic stock available here and there. I'll order some for testing. Do you know if there is a pin equivalent from another manufacturer? Would be nice to have an alternate. The ESP32 worked really well for my last clock, and I've got a good deal of time invested in the code. To be able to reuse it without too much fuss on another clock is a bonus.

The TLC5916N drivers are shift registers with constant current drivers attached - great for this sort of thing. The Numitron clocks I made are also NTP/WiFi enabled and based on an ESP8266, with linear digit dimming and a whole bunch of other things (motion sensor, NeoPixel backlights etc). The ESP32 is a great platform. Absolutely love working with it, but it's a bit overkill for this.

Thinking ESP32 powered like my last one (Thank you to all those who gave suggestions, the kit came out great!). I'm thinking maybe try for a full through-hole solder kit with some shift registers. I know nixies are more popular.. but anyone interested in a numitron clock kit? Oh, one question I do have, anyone have long term experience (ie, years?) running this particular tube? How do they fare? Thank you! Regards, -Moses -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
