Thank you! Wireless charging is a possibility. If I can get this first revision working as intended then im sure there will be plenty of feature creep to come :) On Sat, Oct 3, 2020 at 4:04 PM Dekatron42 wrote: > Looks very nice! > > Will you include wireless charging? > > /Martin > > -- > You

Have you got a Plasma ball to hold it to? If air has entered in you might see a very faint blueish glow if you turn off the surrounding light. What does the getter flash look like, like a mirror or is it gone completely, or has it gone white? I have seen a few Nixies where the Anode wire has co

Hi Gregebert, yes, I've checked the tube several times. The cold resistance is about 2,1 ohm, which is identical to the other tubes. Just swapped the tube with a running one on the same driver board. Sadly, no function at all. Under a microscope, no crack is visible. I've made a short video to s

Thank you David! It is indeed a lot of work for one person, as i'm sure you know. This project is heavily inspired by the successful Cathode Corner watch! The software features will be focused heavily around power saving when the display is off, in addition to using the bluetooth radio as the prim

Hi newxito, Ive been able to get the CJ51-43AL to produce high voltage, but only found that about 5ma @ 170 volts was feasible from a 5 volt input (using the LT-3757afe controller at a swithcing frequency of 100 KHz). Beyond that, the transformer would indeed go into saturation and get very hot.

Kevin, That's quite a project! It has a lot of processing power. I can tell that you've put a lot of thought into the design. I'm curious about the plans for software and features, since you mentioned that you haven't written any of it yet. The big limiting factor of Nixie tubes in a feature-laden

"Those nimo look like tiny CRTs! If anyone can make them it’s Dalibor!" Talk about a niche market. Not only are they infinitely more complex to construct than a Nixie tube, the market for them would be even smaller than for his Nixie tubes. I had commented on the short YouTube video that it wo
