So much for using webmail [I don't see quoted text]... I went off to look at the data after reading Tony's post and the reply went to John R's post ; he already said the main thing - DC. Try a battery?
And maybe just a resistor from enable to rail I should have said. Have you made a connection between Enable and Rail that can't be interrupted? Don't rely on clips; solder a link/resistor Enable to rail ?

Have you had power ON and no connections to the Enable? Safer to wire it to a pot? Are you supplying smooth DC to it? john k ----- Original Message ----- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com To: <neonixie-l@googlegroups.com> Cc: Sent: Tue, 16 Jul 2013 12:04:14 -0400 Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Help needed with taylor 1363 smps > Hello all and greetings from a new member and first time poster,I'm trying to figure out how to use these little 1363 smps from taylor electronic,I've tried using it in this configuration "always on",I'm using a 9vdc 1000ma wallwart and have the +(plus) wire going to Vn and enable and the -(minus) wire going to ground but I get nothing out of the HV out,can anyone with expierience with these please for the sake of my sanity please show/tell me how I get these things to work,it looks simple but I just can't get it to work,thanks much in advance Sounds like it should work, yes. Here's what I would check if I were doing it. I'd check that wall wart to see if it was producing clean DC - many of them just give half-wave rectified DC with no filtering or regulation. Adding a capacitor (to filter and smooth it out) will help if this is the case, and adding a voltage regulator can help even more. That particular module doesn't like being turned on and off rapidly, so half-wave DC will make it unhappy. I'd also make sure I have the pinout right - an ohmmeter can verify that what are supposed to be the ground pins are all connected together. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
