That makes sense. > A note on the led power, depending on how I get power to the LED's perhaps > you could run that part of the circuit to a separate two pin connector? > Again, I'm not sure at this moment where I can tap into the main board for > power. That makes sense too. Accordingly, I've laid out an Eagle part for an IN-8 tube using the D-sub style spring pins (like the Nocrotec socket) along with an LED. It's also possible to use pins that are embedded in the board, but those are inflexible (can put stress on the tube seals), and they don't stick out of the board (so there's no room for an LED underneath). I'm not quite sure which pins the Nocrotec board is using or where to get them, but I used their dimensions to choose the hole size for them in this pattern. I made the LED leads 0.1" spacing, which should suit most common 3mm and 5mm LEDs. The next step is to make a board with six of them, along with the colon pads, resistors, connectors, etc. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
