Here's a video of the above clock running: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbqv51_nixie-clock-3_tech The flicker you see is the beat frequency between the camera's frame rate and the multiplexing rate of my clock. In real life, no flicker. The clock also has 'cathode poisoning prevention' scheme, which briefly flips each tube to a different digit. I don't know if this is really needed, since those tubes are never going to be flipped around or used for anything else. Its been running since 2004. The IN-14s still look like new. The 6802 dekatron's glass is a bit mirrored, but not too badly. Only the NE-2 in the middle looks the worst for wear. Maybe I stuck a limiting resistor in there, that was a bit too small. I often switch the value of the part used, to something else, than whats listed in the schematic. Do what I say, not what I do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To post to this group, send an email to [email protected].
