[neonixie-l] Raytheon CK1414F10C monoscopes on E-bay

2012-03-26 Thread laingt
The seller evidently had 20 of these tubes. After I bought one and made my posting. (I thought it was a good idea to buy first!) The sales went on at a good clip. Somebody must have a use for them as they bought 10! I ended up buying a total of 5 as the seller would not sell to buyers outside the

Let's see who will win the race to make the first clock with these tubes :-). I still wonder how it will scan a character, do you set the X-Y voltages for the character and then perform a scan of the character, or do you scan a series of characters slice by slice? If you want your signal to be

Indeed, I see you got it right :) Anyhow, I got it all fixed. I just lowered the power supply to 180V. Of course, I had to recalculate all the anode resistors (finally have individal anode resistors), but the blanking now works just fine. But still, I don't understand why I should blank one nixie

I just took another look at the schematic you provided, you're right. You don't need to do cathode side blanking. For some reason, I thought that you had both nixies in the pair connected to the same 74141 and would need to blank cathode side in order to address a single nixie. Since you have

[neonixie-l] Cathode equalizing resistors?

2012-03-26 Thread mar...@jave.de
Hi, I stumbled across cathode equalizing resistors in the GR10G datasheet (http://www.jb-electronics.de/html/elektronik/nixies/ n_gr10g.htm?lang=en). They say 8k2 and 4k7 resistors are required to account for the smaller size of 1 and 7. Have you seen equalizing resistors mentioned for other

2012-03-26 Thread Dieter Waechter
Well, the higher the anode voltage you use, the less important are the equalizing resistors. For the CD47 250V are recommended at the datasheet, and this voltage equalizes the cathode current automtically. Dieter - Original Message - From: mar...@jave.de To: neonixie-l

Basically, make sure your current does not excess the values speciefied in the datasheet (and check it on each digit). In some cases, there might be a noticeably discrepancy between digits with large areas (like 8) and digits with rather small areas (a decimal point, for example). Jens Hi,
