Yes, driving simple Nixies and saving the number of wires needed is what I am looking for (without having to invent the wheel again).
I'd like to drive a bunch of the LL-55(X) Nixies displaying letters and also the LC513/A displaying digits in a string of perhaps 50 or so Nixies. I'd be using a few small switching PSUs so that I'd only have to run the HV line a short distance and also to keep the voltage drop down on the HV wire. /Martin On Sunday, 27 June 2021 at 08:26:28 UTC+2 newxito wrote: > Another reason for a smart socket, is that you could use less wires to > drive the nixies.
