I just use the brute force method of using a 40 pin DIL PIC. Nice and easy.

It's got 6 IN-14s, each wired to a separate PCB with a 74141 on each board. I'm not sure if anyone on list has built one of these before, but I wondered if anyone has any tips for controlling all 6 digits for a clock without needing to control 4 separate inputs on each 74141 individually. I will have to set 24 different inputs this way to control the clock digits. I realize I will have to wire them up either way, but was hoping there might be a trick to reducing the number of unique input signals I need to manage with a microcontroller of some sort. I am still a beginner with multiplexing. I am familiar with it from the Arduinix and other designs but since each tube has its own chip I'm not sure what the best approach is. I'm still a beginner so I am probably missing something obvious. Thanks, Dylan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
