I recently completed a nixie clock without any transistors, microcontrollers or other ICs, instead using trigger tubes to implement the digital counters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3PBJUcKeoo
Actually, I'm not even using the 'trigger' function of these tubes, they are just used as neon lamps with a large difference between strike and maintaining voltage. It's this difference which allows one to build counters with them. I'll publish a more detailed description on my website later on. Some may know that I built a similar clock over ten years ago: http://pa3fwm.nl/projects/neonclock/ That clock used regular NE-2 style neon lamps for the logic; unfortunately it became unreliable, as the lamps' properties changed with time. I hope the new clock will turn out to be more reliable... Regards, Pieter-Tjerk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
