Seriously: The coolest thing I have ever seen with Nixie tubes. How do you drive the tubes? Jens Hi all, Hope you won't mind me spamming this here but I've finally completed something nixie-based. I have a bad habit of building prototypes only to add to an ever- growing list of 'features'

How you'd ever consider that 'spamming' is beyond me...;-) what a great and unique way to use all those nixie tubes that nobody has a use for in a clock! Presumably the tubes are driven inductively, but how do you use each symbol to denote the chess piece...just utilize that pin on the underside

Thank you :) They're driven inductively using an array of 64 tuned primaries and a secondary coil in the base of each piece which directly feeds a C-W multplier to produce around 180v. Tony. On Jun 21, 7:35 pm, jb-electronics webmas...@jb-electronics.de wrote: Seriously: The coolest thing I

I think I would also try to let it run on rechargeable batteries and make it portable. I roughly estimated you need about 5W for all chess pieces which is not all that much. It only needs to operate for a few hours and when pieces disappear from the board, it will draw less power. Michel On

The driver circuits aren't that efficient though, I'd estimate the nixies take about 10W and the board loses another 15W. If the edges were made wider it would be possible to fit enough mh cells in for maybe 2 hours or longer using Li. As it stands though it can be fed from an external 12v
