Mine arrived today in mint condition; still had the protective plastic on it. Very easy to use: 1. Plugged into my Win10 PC's USB port, and it powered-up and sent some info, including a blurb mentioning 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit. 2. Open up your setting to see the device. Mine showed up as COM6 3. Open up a windows command prompt, set the communication mode: MODE COM6:BAUD=9600 PARITY=N DATA=8 STOP=1 4. Send it some text: echo Nixie tubes kick ass > COM6 The label on the back says 5V / 500mA, which is much lower than I expected. Glad you got it going ;-) Yeah - very low power. I modded the cable to point to the back - disassembled the base to access the wiring and used a drill to round out the cable exit to the other side, then put it all back together. It's a pretty polished looking unit imo. You can use the config app to change the power-up message, baud rates etc. But as you see it's just like a terminal and spits out what you send.
