With separate clock lines, you can eliminate the timing problem between cascaded HV devices. I attached the timing I use for my clock (havn't had a chance to test it yet; the boards just left the PCB vendor... yes I'm getting anxious to try it out!). If you are using direct-drive, there's

re Hi-z meters. A useful measurement technique is to provide a variable voltage approximating the voltage that you wish to measure. eg Potentiometer across a bench supply, with a common to the circuit under test.. You connect you meter between the point to be measured in the circuit under

Hi Marcin, Nope, that's the Eagle PCB file, what I'd like to find is the Eagle schematic - SCH extension. I'd like to make them both available in my blog post. Phil, probably I won't be selling kits. The sockets are probably harder to obtain than ZM1000s themselves. I have counted the

I took another look at the level-translator circuit, and I noticed there is a resistive pulldown (10K). This could be the problem, but without any scope traces I cant be certain. You could do a SPICE simulation and get a decent idea what the timing is. The CLK on the HV5622 is falling-edge,

Hi to all! Ten years ago I build a clock with ZM1000 nixies and posted a few photos of it in the old Yahoo neonixie group. I recently decided to revive the project: http://betatronics.blogspot.com. The thing is: I have lost the schematic file for this clock. (Loss of data and no backup, of

Damir.. any chance of buying a kit less Nixies - I have lots of ZM1000's new. Thanks Phil Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 13:53:12 -0800 From: frane...@gmail.com To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Subject: [neonixie-l] ZM1000 Nixie clock schematic? Hi to all! Ten years ago I build a clock with ZM1000 nixies

@greg Well, I inspected the power line to the HV5622 with the oscilloscope and it shows a straight 12V line, no noises. On the clock line, I do sometimes see to have longer rise so it could be a problem I guess. I have made the second version of the board with 4505 level shifter, both Vcc and
