Very nice. I would love to explore mesh networking, but there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the projects I would like to do. On Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 4:13:40 PM UTC-5 Jon D. wrote: > Crowd Supply has a development underway using an ESP32-S2 called MorphESP > (an ESP32-S2 240

This. Plus, the CD47 might look fuggly in photos, but once it is in front of you and lit up, it is a whole different kettle of fish. On Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 4:47:52 PM UTC-5 nickja...@gmail.com wrote: > TOO LARGE, say what? This reminds of the doinks at Best Buy or somewhere, > whe

Hi, Peter. Actually, yes! Happy to say there was sufficient interest to justify another batch. I will send out the details in the next few days. Looking forward to having these manufactured! On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 11:24 AM Peter Doroba wrote: > Any luck moving the remaining merch? :-) > > On Sa

Haha, quite so. Maybe we are related! While I've never seen a tube anywhere close to this big, I'd love to have some. If anyone doesn't want theirs, please feel free to send it to me! Kind of like those swimwear models. I might say Cintia Dicker is too skinny, but if she wanted to come over to

So you want to stare at a nixie clock all day and admire how big its digits are? Surely you should get out more? Oh, I forgot, we can't, can we? John S On 17/12/2020 21:47, Nick Andrews wrote: TOO LARGE, say what?  This reminds of the doinks at Best Buy or somewhere, when you're looking at a T

Haha, no I want two of each, just like everything! Or more. Unfortunately I really only discovered nixies a year or so ago. So far mostly Russian stuff, some IN-1, IN-9, IN-13, IN-12/15, and 100 of the little fellers, IN-17. Have a cool old calibration unit with 4 Burroughs tubes, and an older

[neonixie-l] First LED displays

2020-12-18 Thread peter bunge
Can anyone remember what the first LED displays looked like? My first experience was with a 3 digit multiplexed display with bubble magnifiers. Did these come out before the single 7 segment displays with bigger digits? Did Numitron incandescent come out before the LED displays? -- You received

I agree. It's hard to get faithful photos of the CD47. Maybe because it's large and thus more 3D than most Nixie tubes. In person they do not look weird at all. The digits are very well shaped; a unique and attractive "font". They are gorgeous and gigantic. I share again the positive leap secon

The Monsanto MAN-1 was just about the first. It was a calculator sized single digit in a 10 pin flatpack with staggered pins. HP made their display with a controller chip in it soon after. I have a huge three ring binder full of display brochures from 1969 that I found at Black Hole surplus about 2
