[neonixie-l] Sync your clock using WiFi

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi all!

A few months ago I developed, using the ESP8266, a device that would allow 
GPS enabled Nixie Clocks (mainly PV Electronics, as those were the ones I 
owned, but it is also compatible with Mr Nixie clocks and Nixie Clock Home) 
to be synchronized using NTP.

My early prototypes, though working, could easily fry the sensible ESP8266 
because there was no protection the TX pin.

After contacting several manufacturers, Jürgen Grau (Mr Nixie) helped me 
develop the device to connect to the clocks.

After a few months of development, I'm proud to announce that this device 
is now ready to be sold.

Ian Sparkes made an excellent review at 
http://tubeclockdb.com/non-clocks/355-azevedo-nwts-build-and-review.html

If you're interested, you can grab yours at 
https://www.tindie.com/products/Mazevedo/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

Feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions or anything else.

Best regards,

Manuel Azevedo

Hi all,

There seems to be some issue with the login data in tindie and the link I’ve 
sent won’t work.

You can order here for the moment:
https://www.tindie.com/products/mazevedo77/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

You can use the above mentioned URL until tindie fixes this and posts the old 
url:

https://www.tindie.com/products/Mazevedo/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

Sorry for the confusion…

Re: [neonixie-l] Sync your clock using WiFi

[Manuel Azevedo]

Seemed obvious when I started to explore the GPS signal from PV Electronics 
module...
Never imagined that "this obvious" would land me in about 5 months to 
develop one product.

Hope you guys like it!

[neonixie-l] nwts now with case

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that you can now order *nwts* with a glossy black 
acrylic case too.

Also, when buying *nwts*, you can now also select either an audio cable or 
a metal adapter to connect *nwts* to your device.

If you ordered *nwts* before the cases were available and are interested in 
buying one, you can order the case separately with free postage. Contact me 
to get your discount coupon.
(Only valid for customers who bought *nwts* without cases and discount is 
only applied on the postage of the same amount of boxes as ordered *nwts* 
devices).

OK, no more spamming!

Cheers,

Manuel Azevedo

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately the discount is only for customers who bought nwts before the 
cases were available.

[neonixie-l] Strange display C63.396.208(I-208) - any info on this?

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

Does any of you have any information on this strange displays?
I ordered 6 to test, but I couldn't find much information about them - it 
seems that they turn on at 200V, but I'm not sure.
The strange "alien" looks make these displays really interesting.

Here you can find some information: http://www.155la3.ru/electroluminescent.htm

You should current limit them when using them as they will otherwise easily 
have flash-overs, if driven the wrong way, destroying the segments and the tiny 
wires connecting the elements inside the case.

I bought 4 of these last year on a whim because they are SO unusual
Problem is, electroluminescent displays have a rather short lifespan, on the 
order of a few hundred hours. Not a good choice for a 24/7 clock.

They operate on low-frequency AC, on the order of a few hundred Hz. Basically, 
the capacitive current energizes the phosphor material to emit visible light. 
They *will not* operate on DC.
Also, you must not operate them on square-waves, as the high dv/dt will result 
in excess current. I plan to use a triangular wave, which results in constant 
current.
I discourage you from using 50/60Hz AC from the mains, as it would require 
higher voltage to get illumination, which could cause breakdown

I measured the capacitance of my display units (posted below), and as expected, 
larger segments have higher capacitance

It's another project on the long to-do list.

[neonixie-l] Re: In18 displaying cathode poisoning after 1000hrs or less.

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

I also have a strange situation.
I have two Spectrums - a little older model (3 years ago) and one bought 
last year.

On the older unit I had 6 tubes with 9003 markings (I assume March 1990, 
but the order is reversed from the other tubes). Never had any problem with 
this tubes.
On the newer unit I had 4 tubes with 0686 markings (I assume August 1986) 
and 2 tubes 0982 (I assume August 1982 - coincidently these tubes are 3 or 
4 mm taller than all the rest).

After running for a few months on the newer unit, I noticed on one of the 
1982 tubes, that the digit 8 was starting to fade. Looked like cathode 
poisoning, but I already had a 1984 tube with cathode poisoning on a Kosbo 
1 digit clock, and it didn't quite look 100% the same. 

I've replaced the tube with one of the old unit and after a few days, the 
digit 8 showed again complete.

Put the tube back into the new unit and it was OK for a few months, until 
on one tube the 8 was back again losing visibility and a 0 on another tube 
was starting to fade in the bottom.

Yesterday I had enough - I replaced all the tubes between units and now all 
are working OK without any "poison"  symptoms.

I've noticed that the older unit's tubes seem to shine a little bit 
brighter than the newer unit.

I guess that both units might not be delivering the same current, hence 
these issues.

Regards,

Manuel

On the old unit, I can see that they all are 10K 1% - it’s in an acrylic case, 
so easy to see.

In the afternoon, I’ll check the new unit (metal case, hard to disassemble) and 
make the measurements.

[neonixie-l] Re: In18 displaying cathode poisoning after 1000hrs or less.

[Manuel Azevedo]

The old clock was/is set at 173.1V. The new one was at 168.5V.
 
So before testing, I did the following:

· Set both clocks to 173.1V without any tube attached
· Set both clocks to the exact same settings (tube dimming starts 
at 3:00am, so no tube dimming during tests)
· Set both clocks to setup mode so we have the same digits lit “01 
01 99”
 
At each clock, I measured the following:
 
   Older  Newest
HV  173.1 173.1
R2   43.92 38.8
R3   39.137.1
R4   36.636.6
R5   35.237.2
R6   36.433.6
R7   35.636.9
 
My older clock seems to be a Rev5 clock, because on the documentation it 
says 10k for R2-R7. However, Rev5 mentions R15 and both my clocks don’t 
have R15. I don’t remember contacting Pete about R15, but it’s not there. 
Don’t see it also on the schematics of Rev5 documentation.
The Rev6 documentation mentions R2-R7 with 8k2 and does not mention R15 at 
all.
 
Conclusions so far:
 

   - The newest clock was set for 168.5V. This by itself should not be a 
   problem, I suppose, but I increased it to 173.1V
   - While testing both clocks, I used different power supplies than their 
   regular ones. One of them clearly had a problem: on the new clock, under 
   load I got on HV 145V… Clearly a bad power supply. When replacing with 
   another, both clocks had 173.1V when on load.
  - I’m going to replace the new clock with a better power supply
   - The “poisoned” tubes I moved to the old clock seem to be healing
   - I’ve also checked all my tubes have the giver at the base

 
I’m inclined to be believe that the switched power supply might not 
behaving correctly. I’m replacing it on the new clock… Maybe that was the 
problem...
 
I’ll assemble everything again and keep an eye on the clocks.

Hello everyone

A few years ago Bryan made a review of this small clock.
It has changed a lot since then and we've also tested it with different 
shields, including IV-4/IV-17, IV-22 and IV-6 shields.

You can find the video and detailed text review it at the Tube Clock 
Database website here:

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: In18 displaying cathode poisoning after 1000hrs or less.

[Manuel Azevedo]

Just an update on this issue.

Indeed, it was a faulty power supply.

After I changed it in February, after this email, the clock did not show any 
signs of improvement.

I did change it yet with another power supply somewhere in March, but the issue 
maintained.

One of the digits started to show some discoloration and then parts of the 
digits where completely off.
I healed it, but this time I swapped the power supplies from the old and the 
new clock.
The clock was noticeably brighter and the healed tube had some discoloration, 
but no dark spots.
Today, 1 day later, the tube is fully healed – no more discoloured spots. On 
the old clock, the tubes seemed dimmer since then.

I measured the current drawn by each clock. The new one was drawing about 0.7A. 
The old one 0.5A. They both have a nwts and a PIR sensor.

I replaced the power supply on the old clock with a more powerful one (and of a 
better brand), and now both clocks are equally bright. The old one draws about 
0.68A now.

It’s now clear that I was using a faulty power supply.

Manuel

Can you determine (or measure) the current consumed by the nixes ?  If it's a 
direct-drive clock and the voltages you provided are measured across the anode 
resistor (10K ?) the current is on the low-side, roughly 3.3 to 3.9mA. I 
believe the IN-18 is spec'd for 4-6mA.

[neonixie-l] Numitron IV-19 socket

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hello,

Does anybody know what is the socket for the IV-19 Numitron?
In Dieter's database it says that's the PL-31a, but that's the one for the 
IN-12 nixie. I have those sockets are they are very big for this tiny 
numitron.
The IN-2 sockets are also too small.

Even if I cannot find the socket, it's difficult to find information on 
this tiny tube, like the correct dimensions to make a PCB. Anybody got a 
datasheet?

Thanks,

Manuel

In the end that’s my idea – but I was hoping to find the datasheet with the 
correct measurements, instead of having to do them myself… Guess I’ll have to 
do it myself though ☺

I've made 'sockets' for IN-18, A-101, 5092, and b7971 with socket pins on a 
PCB. Afterwards, a 'collar' is 3D-printed to surround and protect the pins and 
make it look like a real socket.

Circular pinouts are easy; usually they are N pins uniformly distributed at 
angles of 360/N, or N-1 pins distributed at 360/N degrees. Just use excel to 
calculate the coordinates.

For random pin arrangements, it's tricky and requires careful measurements with 
a digital caliper.

Type 2 and type3 have combined segments depends on their vertical or horizontal

I think IVLM1-1/7 Type1 were designed in similar manner to make dot matrix

I have blogged about the Elektronika 7 a few times. Those entries go into a 
fair amount of detail about the clocks and the dot matrix tubes in them:

I don't know about the IV-25, but the IV-26 tubes start dimming pretty rapidly 
after being on for some time. When first installed, the phosphor dots are 
brighter under the filament. Within a day or two this changes to an even 
illumination. After some thousands of hours, the dots start to be dimmer under 
the filament, until they are almost not lit at all.

New tubes in left 2 digits, older tubes on right:

Just got "hit" by this GSP problem: 6 Apollo DA2010 "disposed off" because 
of dangerous mercury levels.
The thing is, I checked and I was convinced that Numitrons didn't have 
mercury - couldn't find any information they contain it.
I had other two DA2010 delivered last week via GSP without any issue. This 
is insane.
And such a rare tube - they just destroyed 6...

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: tubes/valves and Global Shipping

[Manuel Azevedo]

I got a refund, initially not complete, but after complaining about the whole 
situation, Pitney Bowes, the GSP partner responsible for the destruction, did 
refund me the total, together with an email saying why they destroyed it 
("mercury levels") and that there was no way to open exceptions. My initial 
email from ebay said only: "congratulations, you got a refund because the item 
cannot be delivered".
After searching around, I got the impression, from several post of others that 
got tubes destroyed by GSP, that Pitney Bowes sees the shinny getter surfaces 
as an indication of mercury. The Apollo and RCA numitrons are known for their 
beautiful shinny silver coating. 
I'm not expecting an apology besides the standard text I got so far. I did 
vigorously complain, but it got the strength of another "anonymous" email that 
ebay/gsp get every other day: which is close to nothing, as they shield 
themselves in airline safety.
I wish that magazines like Wired would pickup on these stories and would expose 
how GSP is destroying these vintage pieces. I shudder to think that every time 
someone orders some IN-18 out of the US (might happen!) they can be destroyed 
this easily. And all could be easily done with some arbitration before 
destroying the pieces.

It’s really unbelievable. And I have three more items on GSP – two have already

I’ll stop making orders with GSP sales.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: tubes/valves and Global Shipping

[Manuel Azevedo]

Well, there’s a known vendor from the US that usually doesn’t ship abroad. One 
day I found and bought some tubes from them. After a day or two, they refunded 
the sale, said the tubes were in no good condition and relisted the tubes 
without international shipping.
When I asked once, they said: “We aren’t allowed to ship abroad because of 
shipping options”.
I never asked, but maybe it was something like this.
Well, I don’t really know, but I would hope that giving sellers some input on 
how frustrated users will be because of GSP and maybe some of them will ship 
using other carriers.
I still have two orders through GSP – one is stopped since the 21st in their 
centre – I’m starting to think it will not go through.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: tubes/valves and Global Shipping

[Manuel Azevedo]

The most ridiculous thing about all of this is that I also add some RCA/Apollo 
2010 tubes, exactly the same brand and model, sent via GSP and they passed OK: 
before and after they destroyed the package.

Also, as I mentioned, I had several packages going through GSP – the latest 
story was an 8971 Burroughs tube that arrived in Switzerland and got lost. Two 
weeks later seller asks me why did I return it – I said I didn’t, that GSP had 
failed to deliver. We asked GSP to deliver the package – they took additional 
1,5 weeks to answer and they refunded me. Seller as since put the tube again on 
eBay and won’t sell for the same price I won the original auction… End result, 
lost a tube again… At least this one was not destroyed.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: all my Nixie tubes are dying :(

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi,

Like Jeff and Tomasz have said, having an underpowered PSU can cause this.
I had this issue with a PV IN-18. At the same time it didn't help that I 
had two tubes that degassed at the same time, so troubleshooting took more 
time.
If you haven't yet, try to buy a good power supply (don't order on eBay, 
order from Amazon, Digikey or Mouser) with 2A minimum... And see if it 
makes any difference.

[neonixie-l] Re: Panplex question, Sperry SP-33

[Manuel Azevedo]

I got 3 SP-352 yesterday, only one works 100%.
The other has all segments good, except one, that only shows half segment. 
I wonder why? 
The last one is completely empty - doesn't glow when using a plasma globe 
next to it.
I've seen somewhere that new displays should have a shinny look - most of 
the listings I found, the displays have that "old look", like burnt - this 
also happens with my working display, so I wonder.
Still, they look awesome when lit.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Global Shipping Program disaster, need help

[Manuel Azevedo]

As I mentioned in another thread about GSP, they disposed 6 DA-2021 numitrons 
because “they contained mercury”.
As someone pointed out, it was maybe the shinny getter on the glass, which 
might have triggered a “oh my god, mercury” reaction, which made GSP dispose of 
the tubes, which in this case are real lamps, as numitrons just have glowing 
filaments, like ordinary light bulbs.
I was reimbursed, but I could never find numitrons again at that prce. It was 
an excellent deal.

I've bought these displays with the idea of making a clock like this.
Very nice execution. Looks very nice.

Well, there still are some gas stations around here with these displays on the 
pumps. They are quite noisy - enough to make you not have one in your bedroom, 
even if it’s just a 4 digit one that only changes every minute. Imagine a 6 
digit one... probably not even in an office.
Still, they look very cool!

[neonixie-l] Shady ZM568M listings

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

Please pay attention to listings like this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-nixie-tube-clock-Z5680M/163008809340

They can lead you to think it’s a sale of a full ZM568M clock, when they are 
only selling one tube only.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Shady ZM568M listings

[Manuel Azevedo]

Nick and Bob

I just mentioned the listings look shady and they can lead to error (they led 
to, in Bob’s case).

I saw the seller’s ratings and seems to be serious – but these listings are odd 
at best.

I concede it could be a language issue, but there are all the signs for 
ambiguity there, hence the alarm – unfortunately Bob was caught in it, 
fortunately, no harm done.

Glad that nobody got scammed.

[neonixie-l] Comercial posts

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

This discussion started in the Facebook page for Nixie clocks:


   - Should commercial posts be banned from the forum?
   

I'm asking the same question here - I know I'm new here and I've made some 
posts regarding my device in the past. I'm no pro, but still, I'm selling 
and making publicity for my device.

So far I haven't received any negative reaction from the community. I try 
not to post regularly, but I believe some would be happy these posts don't 
exist at all.

My questions to the group are:


   - Should commercial posts be banned?
   - If not banned, should a code of conduct exist?
   

I'd like to hear from you all.

Regards,

Manuel Azevedo
