I want to power a nixie device from a car power socket - the things that used to house cigarette lighters. I figure I need to clean up the power, as well as source an adapter and probably a cable with a power plug on the end. I seem to have a few options:
1. Use a 5V USB adapter 2. Use a multi-voltage adapter like this one <https://www.amazon.com/Powseed-Universal-Adapter-Speakers-Electronics/dp/B07BSFSW8N/ref=sr_1_12?crid=14ZWQ57FRTCXZ&dchild=1&keywords=car+power+adapter&qid=1602207108&sprefix=car+power+%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-12> 3. Build a power sanitizer from a resistor, diode and capacitor as suggested in this post <https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=287394.msg2013378#msg2013378> on the arduino forums, and feed it to a 5V regulator. Is the power provided to a modern car power port that dirty to start with? Would either of the adapters (1 and 2) likely provide clean power? Option 3 appeals to the DIYer in me, but would end up being more expensive than the other two. OTH, I could eventually build it all into one enclosure if I end up going that far. I guess another question is: Would the power provided to an ODB2 port be clean? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
