2012-09-24 Thread John Rehwinkel
 CTV and Ford recently did a short profile of the art+tech work my partner and 
 I do, and within it we talk a bit about and show a couple of Nixie pieces.

A nice shot of one of my favourites of your pieces (From Me To You).  I 
always wondered how the algorithm worked that chose how to mutate words.

[neonixie-l] Anode Mesh or Anode Grid?

2012-09-24 Thread Dieter Waechter

Hi Friends,
What is the right word to use in English?
Anode Mesh or Anode Grid?
My thoughts: It is not a grid - since (you know) a grid in an electron 
tube can never be the anode.

It is more a mesh.
Or is another word better?
What do you think?
Dieter

[neonixie-l] Re: Anode Mesh or Anode Grid?

2012-09-24 Thread Dekatron42
I'd say that you can use both grid and mesh since they do not describe the 
electrical properties in a Nixie, just the structure of the Anode made up 
by a grid or mesh structure. But in a thermionic valve they describe the 
control electrode if you use the word grid. In a thermionic valve you 
usually se mesh being used for describing the anode structure surrounding 
the cathode and grid, like in the EF86 which come in several different 
types where a few have a mesh Anode.
 
Old patents use both mesh and grid to describe an Anode surrounding the 
digits and they then mean the structure of the anode and not the electrical 
properties like in a thermionic valve, that has already been explained by 
using the word Anode.

Yes thanks, a little bit of kudos there :)  I can remember being nervous 
sending you the boards, they were the very first version , the 'ugly

It was nice to be involved even in a small way, Gorbet Design produces some 
very unique and progressive pieces :o)

I would go with mesh since it really isn't a grid or used like a grid. And it 
looks like a mesh. Dennis

[neonixie-l] Newbie 74141 help

2012-09-24 Thread Sean
I'm trying to figure out how a 74141 IC works, but it's making me feel stupid. 
Please keep in mind that i am completely new to electronics and circuits. 
Help?!?

I've got a 74141 on a breadboard. Based on the datasheets and nixie clock 
schematics I've been studying I put 5vdc at pin 5 and pin 12 to ground. Right 
now I'm just trying to light up an LED (some nixies are coming in the mail). So 
I connected the LED to the 5v and to the 0 output at pin 16. Since all four 
inputs are at no power shouldn't this light the LED. Please tell me I'm just 
doing something stupid.

Re: [neonixie-l] Newbie 74141 help

2012-09-24 Thread Shane Ellis
You need to bring the binary pins high or low.  You've got them
floating.  Get a datasheet for the chip, and add voltages to the ABCD
pins, in the proper configuration.  There is a binary chart, as well
as corresponding binary to pin layout, on that datasheet.
