Re: [neonixie-l] Mounting IN-18 tubes

[Quixotic Nixotic]

Just to remind people that the diagram on Dieter's website 
http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/data/in18.htm for the IN-18 pinout is 
wrong. I would not know how many people have fallen foul of this, but I did. 
The tube needs rotating about 4.15º degrees clockwise. The IN-18 sockets Dieter 
sells would also seem to replicate this error.

See diagram attached:

[neonixie-l] Mounting IN-18 tubes

[Paul Andrews]

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to mount IN-18 tubes? It looks 
like they are intended to be socketed and I see some sockets/pins on ebay. 
I would like to underlight them too, if that makes a difference.

By the way, does anyone have CAD files for the physical pin layout? e.g DXF 
files, and/or KiCAD footprints?

Thanks - Paul

Great work! I think yours is a step above mine given the custom case. I'm 
sure we both agree the neon glow is a really elegant match with wood and 
brass. I love the acrylic light-pipe design for the colons. Let me ask you 
something, do you notice flickering on your dekatron? It looks like you are 
using the "pie" type animation, I'm using your kit for another clock and 
opted for the "processing" type because the flickering was very prevalent 
above 30-40 seconds counting, since I assume the neon dot has to dance 
around a lot to light that many positions.

Bravo! I like the wood/gold effect...the use of the orange LED is an
interesting one...didn't want to keep the neon theme there?

[neonixie-l] Re: Another day, another clock

['threeneurons' via neonixie-l]

My latest clock:



I decided to stick it in this thread, as opposed to creating a new one, 
because of some of the similarities between this clock, and the one 
initiating this thread,


Both use smaller nixies for the *seconds*, and both use a unique *colon*. 
In the case, of the original, the *seconds* nixies is/are(?) the *colon*. 
Not in the case of my clock. In mine the hours and minutes are IN-18s, and 
the seconds are much smaller Burroughs B5991 tubes. My colon is a 1/4" 
acrylic rod, with two rings roughened up on it, so that the light emits at 
those rings, forming the colon. The light comes from an orange LED at its 
base. The clock circuit is my standard uC clock kit, with the only real 
modification being the one to power an LED instead of a neon bulb.


Also, it was just a coincidence, on the common themes, between these two 
clocks. I was already pretty far along in the construction of my clock when 
the OP posted his.

Don't forget the "make offer" function. You don't really know at what price the 
nixie was actually sold.
