Hi all- This is my first posting to the group. I'm still relatively new to electronics and to the wonderful world of Nixies. I've built a couple of Nixie clocks from kits and stuff like the Ogi Lumen and Arduinix platform. I'm looking forward to eventually building my own clock from scratch, but have a question on the Arduinix if someone would be willing to give it a shot. For those unfamiliar with it, the arduinix is an Arduino shield that uses an inductor based set up to provide HV for the nixies and allow them to be controlled by the Arduino. It's a very cool setup. It also provides PCBs to mount IN-17s. I have one of them that allows 4 IN-17s with two INS-1s as the divider/colon on the display. The cathodes on the PCB each have a resistor for each nixie and INS-1. My question is related to the INS-1s. I want to ensure that they don't burn out by getting the full nixie voltage from the arduinix (approximately 180V). Is this just as simple as picking a resistor with the correct value and power rating? Sorry for what I'm sure is a very basic question!
