Aside from multiplexing, the way to do this reliably is to use individual cathode resistors instead of a shared anode resistor. As long as you keep the total current reasonable, I don't think it would harm the tube at all. Cathode poisoning comes from not using cathodes for a long time while others are lit. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
