Spinning nixies? That's cool, I hope that one day you will build this project! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to neonixie-l+unsubscr...@googlegroups

Re: [neonixie-l] New clock project with R|Z568M nixies

I’m a little bit concerned about generating a lot of EMI in this project. I’ve added an image, so you can see what I’m trying to do. The controller will be hidden in the base of this old lamp. I will need 5 wires going all the way up into a horizontal tube. The nixies will be mounted with the s

Re: [neonixie-l] New clock project with R|Z568M nixies

You seem to have already taken care of the normal recommendations. So, first make sure the metal tube is grounded at the base. Second, make sure that it doesn't connect to the ground at the far end of the tube near the nixies - that way, you will avoid signal currents using the tube itself as a

Re: [neonixie-l] NIMO

Hi Jörg, as I lately got 10 NIMOs in an Ebay auction and am currently also working on a 6 tube NIMO-clock I can sell you a tube from my spares. YouTube NIMO-Clock Update#2 YouTube NIMO-Clock Update#1 Please PM me. Roger jörg schrieb a

Re: [neonixie-l] NIMO

Would it be possible for you to share the circuit diagrams that you got in the box with the tubes, I haven't seen some of them, just the datasheet. Also, can you share some photos of the mechanical pieces in the package, like photos of the five tube mounting bracket and of the power supply (saw

Hi Martin, here´s another YouTube video where I unbox the Ebay-auction package (if you haven´t already found it): https://youtu.be/7Mprac_anEA If I find the time I will scan the documents that were included in the Ebay-auction and share them here. . The five tube mounting bracket is ATM under

Re: [neonixie-l] New clock project with R|Z568M nixies

CAT6 is a good idea; use pairs for - +170VDC/GND - VCC/GND - SCL/VCC - SDA/VCC If you recall, I2C uses pullup resistors, which is why you use VCC as the other signal in the pair. For SCL, put the termination resistor at the receiving end. Even though the termination resistance (ty

Re: [neonixie-l] New clock project with R|Z568M nixies

That’s a lot of useful information, thanks Nick, thanks Greg. I will follow your advices in order to avoid problems with the ground. I will give CAT6 a try but first I will make some tests and measure the voltage drop, the wires are very thin and I expect a total cable length of 2m. On the 17

2 meters of cat6 cable (AGW 23) is about 0.16 ohms, plus any connectors. Since you are drawing 300mA or less, the voltage drop will be 50mV or less. On Monday, October 5, 2020 at 3:42:48 PM UTC-7 newxito wrote: > Forgot to mention that I will use the pairs as sugggested by Greg -- You receive

Ah! I have been following your channel for some time, and just made the connection today that you are active on the Google group as well! I was very excited for you when I saw the box of NIMOs! On Monday, October 5, 2020 at 10:42:41 AM UTC-4 astroschmidt wrote: > Hi Martin, > > here´s another
