2023-05-06 Thread Dekatron42
I've been able to buy a Neon filled Franck-Hertz tube together with its control unit. Everything looks fine, the output voltages from the control unit are correct and the tube seems to work just fine, however I can't get the experiment to work properly. Is there anyone here on the forum that ca

I started by doing an analysis of how much energy I needed to run the watch (which means you need to decide on which nixie tube to use, how many of them, and how much display-time between charges), then research the batteries available. Next, you have to decide how to control it, and the energy

I used a PIC 16F microcontroller, and two TD62083 octal Darlington arrays. Unfortunately, that part is no longer available, and its successor the TBD62083 is not currently available in the smallest TSSOP package. On Sat, May 6, 2023, 1:35 PM Zachary wrote: > I am planning on building a watch ov

Jeff Thomas, yes. But this was really the first "product" nixie clock of the modern era. On Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 6:01:18 PM UTC-5 Terry Kennedy wrote: > Isn't that the one Jeff Arnold savaged in "Alien Nixie Clock Autopsy"? > http://www.nixie.dk/~jthomas/autopsy.html -- You received this
