That is an interesting display Jon, thanks for the info and link! How do you make the step down animation? Did you post a schematic somewhere of this clock? The sleeping sickness is probably related to the part of the tube that is not lit? I mean, in your clock setup this wouldn't really be an issue, right?

IN-9 tubes are significantly brighter than IN-13, and to my eyes much better for general use. I made this thing (http://youtu.be/mQ1567EFCY0) with IN-13 and both flavours of IN9. Although the IN-13 were bigger, used less current and were more predictable to play with, the dimmer display meant that version needed a fairly low ambient light environment. FYI IN9 are also more prone to 'sleeping sickness', particularly the argon ones. Cheers, Jon. On Wednesday, November 28, 2012 10:00:26 PM UTC, Michel wrote: Thanks for the info Adam. It doesn't really explain why the current is higher / sensitivity is lower for the IN-9. I still expect the IN9 to be brighter as the higher current should ionize more neon. Maybe I should measure it one day. Michel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
