Looks like you have all you need, aside from an HV supply. First, I'd grab a tube, anode resistor, and one of those driver chips, and try direct driving a single digit. Then I'd add more digits until I ran out of I/O pins. Then I'd either try a shift register as an I/O expander, or look into a multiplexed design using anode switches. But getting that first digit lit is a real thrill! Here's a pic of my first try with an Arduino: http://www.vitriol.com/images/tech/nixies/nixie-firstlight.jpg - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
