Depends on how and where you disconnected the trigger - may need to load down that pin. Can you confirm that lifting the wiper DOES trigger the tube? You could set up the right conditions on the other pins [including trigger] and then interrupt that circuit manually. If it is a 'glitch' from

Hi right I have broken the circuit to the solenoid from the cathode of the gr44 all other wiring reconnected as schematic it does indeed fire the gr44 and the solenoid if momentary disconnected so that does seem to be the source of the fault. Bob On 27 Mar 2014 09:33, JohnK

Maybe a capacitor across the wiper contact will solve it. The capacitor would normally be shorted by the wiper making correct contact. A momentary opening would be swamped by the uncharged capacitor. The capacitor may need a small series resistance to reduce the current from the capacitor when

[neonixie-l] Inkjet printable conductive ink

Hello guys, I just came across this kickstarter project and I don't think it has been posted here before. It's a project to make a conductive ink that can be used in ordinary inkjet printers. No more breadboards! I am myself someone who really dislikes making breadboards, I have only made 1
