Hello fine folks of the Neonixie community, I'll lay out the scenario here my troubles are at the bottom. I am working on an interesting computer case project in which i would like to use 2 IN-13's or IN-9's (I have some of both) to drive some meters for my computer (CPU usage, Temperature, VU, ect.).
Components I am using, Or at least intend to use include PSU - http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Voltage-Power-Supply-Kit-45V-to-190V-Out-for-Nixie-Old-Radio-Kit-/251228875692?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7e686bac Vishay H11D3-X007 Optocouplers http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/230514/VISHAY/H11D3-X007.html Arduino to communicate with the computer and output PWM I have experimented with several different configurations, done all of the calculations i am smart enough to achieve (Not very many of them unfotunately) ,But I cant seem to get the optocouplers to drive the nixies in any good way they seem to scale to full in only a few percent of PWM and then over-current or segment and move to the wrong end of the tube, all sorts of nightmarish things. Please Please Please, Can someone help me to figure out the proper resistance vals between the Arduino and my optocoupler and between the cathode and ground. Thank you all for your patience with this newbie P.S. I am willing to learn or do research on my own if you can even point me in the right direction. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
