Hi Yall, I am playing with IN-13 nixie indicator tube. I am driving them with a similar circuit as I found here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=158113.0 Unfortunately, I have a few issues. First my tubes don't all light up unless I put 150V across them and it's much more reliable if I have 160V. second, the resister from the emitter to ground has to be 220 ohms instead of 620 ohms. This of course puts the current when fully lit at >13ma. The specs on the sheet say the absolute max is 4.5ma for a long and healthy life. 5.6ma is a short life :(
What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
