Nick, I like it! What is the final target for this, going by the counts of bulbs in the rings (8 & 12) it doesn't seem to be a clock. Unless it's from Mars.... ;)
Not to make this a pissing match, I know there are even prettier and more complex, ring counter clocks and not to mention it's yesteryear's news, but,I didn't exactly avoid punishments myself in the past. I did come up with the NixieNeon clock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaHHKSnvfI[1] 7 ring counters with a total of 60 lamps . Not as many in total as yours, but they don't have the convenience of a trigger wire. The rings free run counting down the 60hz to the 12 bulb hour ring without the help of the processor,. The processor is only there to run the green lamps, the 5 minute eye candy and set to the time (assuming you have the RTC). My point of my previous email was that assembling 384 little ass SMD boards was no small feat. I doubt I would've lasted through it. My favorite ring counter clock of all time it this one! It is a great looking clock, I love the point to point wiring. I bet the 60 second ring was a nightmare to get counting so well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4v7IDIYiNQ&list=PLcg96zVhEST67yy294qhAUgrr7ijZnUGe[2] -joe On Thursday, July 23, 2020 4:55:50 PM CDT Nicholas Stock wrote: > Let's try that again....movie was too large.. > > https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPMzuOjdBs/ > > On Thu, Jul 23, 2020 at 2:52 PM Nicholas Stock <nickst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Speaking of glutton for punishment.... > > > > A follow on to Grahame's original Trigger tube clock....aptly called > > 'Neon'...that we're both working on....no semi-conductors.....the video > > shows one of the minutes boards fed with a 10Hz pulse for testing of the > > counters, hence the speed.... > > > > The ticking is from a couple of relays. > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jul 23, 2020 at 2:38 PM celzey11 <celze...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> Allegedly there's some neon bulbs that actually act as thyratrons that > >> can be used to make large scrolling displays...haven't seen any of those > >> IRL though > >> > >> -- > >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > >> "neonixie-l" group. > >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > >> email to neonixie-l+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > >> To view this discussion on the web, visit > >> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/neonixie-l/04517e2c-4681-49a6-ad0c-d6d4da3a706ao%40googlegroups.com > >> . > >> > > > > -------- [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaHHKSnvfI [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4v7IDIYiNQ&list=PLcg96zVhEST67yy294qhAUgrr7ijZnUGe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
