  sorry for opening an old post (2012?) but I couldn't see any others and 
 didn't think it with opening a new thread. 
  I'm not the smartest hobby electronics person but I do enjoy tinkering 
  : ) I have been building one of these to add to my small (so far) 
 collection of nixie clocks etc. 
  
  I have the main pcb finished and need to mount the sensor to it's pcb. 
  Because it is smd I want to use the 'heated skillet and solder paste' 
 method but I am not sure which way to orientate the chip to the board. 

 This is the one with the SHT21 sensor on the little daughter board?  The 
 NC 
 pins are pins 3 and 4, and the unconnected pads are the ones toward the 
 through-hole pins.  To put it another way, the notch (cut 
 corner) on the die pad on the bottom should point away from the through 
 hole 
 pins, and the sensor opening on the top of the chip should point toward 
 the 
 through hole pins. 

  Can anyone advise please particularly if they have a photo of one?  I 
 consider myself to be Kinesthetic as I learn and understand better by 
 watching rather than reading or hearing hence the photo would be good. 

 I don't have this kit, so I can't take a photo, but if it would help, I 
 can 
 make up a diagram showing the placement of the chip.

Eric
many thanks for you reply.  I replied to John Rehwinkel so you can see why
it took a while to respond.
Your design sounds exciting and another addition to my collection when you
are finished : )
Regards
John

 many thanks for your reply.  Sorry for not answering straight away but a 
 small matter of my daughter's wedding on Saturday kept me occupied.

 OK  Something happened to the original reply and all I did was copy 
 something else, so here goes a again

 I have attached a phot taken with my USB microscope with the sensor 
 placed, not soldered on to the small pcb.  Hopefully That matches your 
 description.
 I shall remove the cap before reflow.

 Regards
 John

[neonixie-l] 7971 nixies sighted on Ebay

2014-05-13 Thread gregeb...@hotmail.com
I dont see these listed very often; today there are 4 different lots 
posted. Happy bidding.
Personally I'm not a big fan of segment displays because they remind me too 
much of LEDs.
Now, if they were 7094's at this price I would be drooling...
