I just joined so perhaps I better introduce myself - I'm Hugh and I've gone and bought twenty IV-25 (or IVLM-1/7?) tubes thinking that this would be the start of an excellent project to make a small dot matrix display. I've recently built an LED light wand with an arduino nano and I think this would be the logical next step. I've learned a little about soldering, power regulators, programming the arduino and reading memory cards. Not much experience but I've been bitten by the bug! If I can get them working I'd like to make something that can display scrolling text and small animations, either reading from a memory card or directly from a computer. So where do I start? Testing them might be a good - so a 2.4V filament voltage and a 25V anode supply. And then I need to figure out how to attach them to a board as an addressable matrix, and somehow magic some electricities from an arduino to drive a current through the tubes. I guess I have a steep learning curve in front of me - which is exactly why I want to do this. If you can point me in the right direction that would be brilliant!
