Yes, the caps can bleed through A)the feedback resistor and B)a resistor I keep across V+ and ground to keep the voltage stable when I turn all the lamps off. However, if you think improper wiring can cause this, there's a high chance that's it. I live in an old house with crappy wiring. The surge

I already have the breadboard, LOL. OK, let me make sure this is clear: I have everything I need, except maybe an oscilloscope/logic analyzer. I already have the PIR sensor, RTC, etc. working, those are not my concern. My concern is properly controlling the high voltage required by the tubes. And

I'd still get that solderless breadboard. Even though you have your main circuit mostly, if not completely wired, it may still come in handy. It can still be used to test out specific little circuit blocks, before you go and take the x-acto knife to your PCB. As you said you're going to try out thi
