Seconded! It's the folks on lists like these that can make the

 I would just like to wish all group members a Happy Christmas

 It is 10 years ago that I began my first experiments with nixie tubes,
 when I decided that I wanted to make a nixie clock for my father's
 60th birthday present. So, beginning in November I ordered tubes, some
 PICs, downloaded Microchip's MPLAB for the first time and taught
 myself assembly language for PICs. It was a steep learning curve
 considering the 10 week deadline, but I couldn't afford a higher level
 language so battled on.

 Then my interest continued with an invite from Ray Weisling to join
 the first nixie group, NEONIXIE-L on Yahoo, when he saw me selling
 clock number 2 on eBay, which I made in order to pay for both clocks.

 It is nice to see so many of those members are also here, and with you
 there is also a huge number of new people with an interest in nixies.
 It is nice to know that so many people share an interest with
 yourself !

 Although I built the first clock alone, it is true to say that I would
 not have improved my skills or opened my mind to some very interesting
 ideas had it not been for my membership of that group, and the
 support, the nagging, challenges and humour shared among all members
 there, and now here.

 I seem to have taken those ideas sideways into developing the
 Smartsocket concept, originally for neon based tubes and now for the
 IV-17 vfd tubes which I first began experimenting with in 2007. (it
 has been a slow project !)

 Merry Christmas and the best of the season to you all and your

Re: [neonixie-l] Merry Christmas

2011-12-24 Thread Dylan Distasio
Merry Christmas to all on the list also!  I am happy to have found it as a
newcomer this year, and really appreciate everyone taking time to answer
basic questions.

I decided at the last minute to build a very modest single tube numitron
IV-9 clock for my brother-in-law for Christmas from scratch.  It was the
first major (for me anyways) electronics project that I breadboarded myself
with an arduino and then transferred the design over to perfboard and wrote
the arduino code myself (with help from other web sources of course), and
then burned my own ATMega328p chip.  I used a DS1307 chip for the RTC with
a battery backup I desoldered off an old motherboard.  The tube displays
blinks a 4 digit time and has the option to display the date, and set both
from the board.  I spent a lot of time struggling with the code and adding
new features, and had to stop myself from adding a piezo speaker in the
fear of running out of time.  It's not the prettiest thing to look at, but
it works!  I know he will appreciate the effort as he loves gifts people
have taken the time to make.

Anyways, this marks my exciting entry into the world of tubes (not counting
some an earlier nixie clock kit that I fell in love with).   I'm sure I'll
be harassing the list with many questions in the new year, so prepare
yourselves!

Best,
Dylan
