I wrote a brief how-to-get-started bit a while back: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/neonixie-l/nui9pdWbDNI/v8HnMNRQVnoJ It doesn't address how clocks work or anything like that, but how you can get something to light up without a lot of effort or expense, and offers a couple of ways forward from there. I'd also be willing to contribute verbiage, diagrams, and whatnot. These are sections where I think I could offer useful input: > 1) General info on how nixie tubes work, voltage requirements, current > draw, selecting anode resistors, etc. > 4) Power supply design and considerations, where to acquire pre-built > power supplies > Thoughts? Obviously, trolling the archives will yield a lot of information and potential verbiage. You're welcome to use any of my postings if they'd be useful, but I'd appreciate credit somewhere if you do. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
