Well, I was thinking that a capacitor between the nixie's anode and ground (especially a big one like 33uf) is going to make that waveform more DC-like. A multiplexed anode is going to look like (roughly) a pulse waveform, there will be a short period of high followed by a longer period of low. If it is 4 tube mux, then the ratio of high to low would be 1:4, same as if you punched 25% duty cycle square-wave into a function generator. I think that a capacitor in that configuration would smooth the edges of that pulse. The capacitor will begin to charge when the pulse goes high, and the capacitor will begin to discharge when the pulse goes low. It's not something I would have thought of, but if it works, then it works! That's why everyone is always railing about how important experimentation is (including me).
I'd be interested to see a scope capture of a single tube's anode line both before & after the cap were installed. It would be pretty easy to model mathematically, though. -Adam On Sat, Aug 6, 2011 at 2:52 AM, Eric1180 <[email protected]> wrote: > No, No ghosting everything works great.
