While designing my own clock, I decided to investigate the cathode poisoning prevention methods utilized by most clocks, and I discovered that there's room to improve and experiment. Here's a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skBwGGQ58MI If you can't or don't want to watch: Switching between cathodes with a delay of 1-2 milliseconds is going to provide the same cleaning effect as the "slot machine", except without the extreme flicker which may be annoying to some.
As for my design - it's two HV5522s in the PLCC package connected to an ESP8266(for driving the HV5522s the 3v3 signals are shifted to 5 - that works up to a supply of 12.9V) and Yan's NCH6100HV boost board. It would be interesting to see what everyone here thinks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
