I have my latest prototype of the radio controlled IN1 nixie/ IV9 bargraph/ OG3 dekatron clock working. It syncs to the npl time signal fine, and does error checking every minute, you can adjust the time on a single button if theres no signal, it keeps time on its own too if required. Heres some nasty pics, I havent got enough croc leads to connect the dekatron as well as all this stuff, but it works. Theres no noticeable difference when you call the speaking clock on the 'phone and the clocks display, smart.
Couldnt work out posting photos, heres some links, nothing special in fact its a right mess but its a prototype. http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/widgidibbie/Fan002-1.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/widgidibbie/Fan001-1.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/widgidibbie/Fan003.jpg On 24 Jan, 13:56, dr pepper <seaking.helicopt...@gmail.com> > In9's were in the bits box, simple as that really, judging by the > colour its argon, I got it at 10mA full scale, I spose the accuracy > isnt all that good, rusky stock. > The tube gets warm after a while it burns around a watt or so. > > Good to see that the setup for the IN1's looks ok to you guys. > > My deka pulls only about 600uA with a 470k anode resistor, I might try > a 330k and burn it a bit brighter, its only only short periods anyway. > > I like your site 3 neurons, I nicked the detect zero idea off one of > your clocks, I came up with a similar idea but not quite as effective, > you've abviously been through the grief of making it work. > > I might just order a couple of IN13's in case something goes wrong, > the 555 circuit seems ok with it even though the prototype uses a > satuarable inductor (a coil with a magnet inside, part of a voltage > regulator for a telly), must make a proper one. > > On 23 Jan, 18:39, John Rehwinkel <jreh...@mac.com> wrote: > > > > > > Why not try a IN13 bargraph instead ?
