Hello David, Thanks for the explanation. I guess you made a typo somewhere because I remember reading 200uA somewhere in your files rather than 13uA and 1 year rather than 7 years.
Your claim is then not correct, because at 50 readings per day and 2 seconds per viewing, the battery will only last less than 3 months. I didn't know you wrote the software yourself, I though you played around with someone else's software. It's truly going to be 16.5mm, including the components, yes. Your're also correct about the multiplexing, I do that so that it is easier to dim the tubes by means of PWM, but not in the way you think I will do it :-). I actually thought you had invented this nixie watch, so I didn't want to re-design it as it was your "thing". In one of the videos that I guess you had made up by a pommy it is stated that woz said it was the one thing he wished he had invented. So it really seemed it was your invention. However, when I came across Jeff Thomas and exchanged a couple of emails, it was clear that he had invented this nixie watch a couple of years earlier, so I didn't bother about designing another one and he didn't mind himself either. What I do think is very lame is to just take his later 3 1/2 digit tube design as well and try to make a buck out of it. http://www.cathodecorner.com/nw35/index.html I verified with him if he was aware of this latest Cathode Corner copy of his design, and he personally confirmed that he wasn't. I know this world is a dog-eat-dog business, but I guess these people are supposed to be your friends, right?
