[neonixie-l] OT: Help with Polish Address

I need someone familiar with addresses in Poland, to help me with an address. Apparently, a parcel went missing. It got to Poland, then disappeared. Please contact me privately, at my junk email threeneurons at yahoo.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Upvote here for the TI MSP43x series. The new ones, the 432s, run at 13 microamp per MHz. Very easy to programming (C++) using free IDE. Development boards (aka "launchpads") cost just a few USD. Lovely chips... Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

I think you would be bonkers to run an OS in a voltmeter. I have removed the OSes from many of our telescope's embedded computers, because software updates are the last thing you want to have to do in a machine. A standard AVR 32U4 processor as used in an Arduino Leonardo is plenty of

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

It's a classic tradeoff regarding RasPi vs Arduino vs FPGA. Everyone has different pain-points for cost, power, boot-time, features, development effort, etc. Maybe Aduino is a better option; I'm going that route for my next clock project. If you plan your design, you can add various shields

Thanks for your interest, I'll keep you posted! On Friday, 7 October 2016 20:44:53 UTC+1, Nortonian wrote: > > Greetings Nixiers, > > Laurence, i think it's a fabulous idea. I, too, have been thinking about > non-clock nixie projects, but hadn't thought of a modern bench meter. > Great idea!

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

Yes, my envisioned Nixie DMM will include a frequency counter, but not fancy period or averaging functions, not much beyond maybe 40MHz. On Saturday, 8 October 2016 16:11:05 UTC+1, Jonathan wrote: > > I too have as many clocks as I need, although I haven't made as many as > you. I have a

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

Thanks for your note. Well, you can buy "front end" DMM chips that just do the measuring with no built in display, but some serial I/O to a processor/display/keyboard combo. That's my route. Not settled on the processor, yet. I also play with Raspberry Pis, and while I might use one for early

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

Thaks for your reply, William. Yeah, well, it costs a lot (before I consider any return for my time!). This is my concern - if the market fo rthe price I need to charge isn't there, I don't have a project, after all... On Friday, 7 October 2016 20:07:56 UTC+1, William Lee wrote: > > I would

Re: [neonixie-l] NOT another nixie clock!

I too have as many clocks as I need, although I haven't made as many as you. I have a kitchen timer, an indoor outdoor thermometer (pixies) and a hot tub temp. display. I have an HP VOM that I have been meaning to fix. I have been planning to make a frequency counter. In my case I would use

[neonixie-l] Re: Where do I find companies that can laser cut perspex/wood and which software should I use?

I've used Pololu Electronics a few times for laser cutting. See https://www.pololu.com/product/749 I've had them supply the acrylic, I just send them the cad file and select from their stock. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l"
