Re: [neonixie-l] Four Letter Word clock choreography

[David]

My original Ray Weisling FLW from early 2002 has been displaying words continuously from when I built it back then to now. Ray may have run out of integrity, but he made a damn fine FLW algorithm. The slow 30ish second display of each word is soothing yet interesting.  David Forbes, Tucson AZ On Jan 30, 2025, at 9:40 PM, Richard Scales <rich...@scalesweb.co.uk> wrote: I am working on a design for a FLW clock using B-7971 tubes with the original Cinch sockets. Having built a prototype I can see that these sockets are super kind to the tubes. Given that a FLW clock displaying HHMM will have a very static display most of the time, I am wondering how often it might be suitable to display a WORD. I already have something happening at 30 seconds past the minute, either the date, temperature, pressure, humidity or a scrolling message. For the rest of the minute, and given that there are 1000's of FLW's - would once every 15 seconds be too little or too much? Can anyone advise as to how existing FLW clocks handle this? - Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
