Right now, nothing, but I like wire up or breakout connections for later use. It's less forward-planning and more not getting in my own way later. On Monday, 24 February 2020 20:52:38 UTC, nixiebunny wrote: > What do you want to use the decimal point for? > -- You received this message

The 74141 was created back in the Switch Age, when a rotary switch was used to select which digit had the point. What do you want to use the decimal point for? On Mon, Feb 24, 2020, 9:22 AM John Snow wrote: > I'm trying to use 74141 drivers (intentionally), they have enough outputs > to drive

Great, that's what I thought it meant. Now I'm tempted to skip having a decimal point, and avoid the extra hassle of an additional 74141 & 74HC595 to drive it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

I hadn't actually read the datasheet until now. I didn't realize that the tubes have a layer of transparent tin oxide deposited on the glass, which acts as the anode. I assume that explains the wonderful colors you get on these 'tubes' - like the colors on a soap bubble. On Monday, February

2020-02-24 Thread Paul Andrews
On most tubes, you only need an additional resistor on the decimal point if it can be turned on with no digit being turned on at the same time. If it is only ever on when a digit is on, you will not need an additional resistor. I have no idea why. Of course, this also means that if you want to

You could add an MPSA42 for each extra decimal point. Or use a chip with more outputs like any of the Microchip HV series (5522,5530,5523, etc). On Mon, Feb 24, 2020, 11:22 AM John Snow wrote: > I'm trying to use 74141 drivers (intentionally), they have enough outputs > to drive 0-9 per tube;

2020-02-24 Thread John Snow
I'm trying to use 74141 drivers (intentionally), they have enough outputs to drive 0-9 per tube; but not including a display point. I'm hoping to use a seperate driver to drive the display points (with an approproate resistor to reduce the current from numerical display levels) Will this mean
