New member. Old clock. Built a Claus Urbach In-18 Nixie tube clock 13 years 
ago, ran until Nov 22 when tubes looked wonky. Bought new tubes ($$$ to 
Ukraine support) and bought new clock driver PCB from Claus, as well as 
GPS-DCF77 converter from Guenter at gr-projects. All worked fine in USA 
with GPS driven clock until something shorted and tubes dont display 
properly. Instead of resurrecting the old gal, bought a new PCB clock and 
driver single PCB from UK and waiting to receive it. Different dimensions 
means new enclosure. Anyone who can help troubleshoot the old clock to see 
what is fried would be appreciated. Me, I am a hand surgeon/wood worker, 
juvenile electrician. Thanks

 Good day, everyone.

 I'm just getting into the subject of Nixie tube making. I have gotten 
 to work with some new old stock nixies and some de-soldered miniature 
 digit 
 tubes and now I'm curious about the process of manufacturing my own. I 
 found the Dalibor Farni channel 
 to be extremely 
 fascinating, and the video by jdflyback 
  where he has actually made a 3 
 digit cathode ray tube  
 with perhaps less tools which you and I might have got me thinking of 
 dipping my toes into trying to make one myself as well.

 This is also something I wanted to do in order to provide a fallback 
 for nixie tubes availability for this project. A post apocalyptic handheld 
 text based adventure game. I wanted to make sure I don't depend on the 
 increasingly expensive and fleeting stock of overseas shipped tubes.

If anyone needs to source the various tubes required - I have up to date

Welcome to the group.

I am particularly interested to hear that you are building the Trigger 
clock as I am embarking on that same project. I have the boards and am 
securing the tubes as we speak.

It would be good to keep in touch regarding progress and anything that 
I/You/We find out along the way.

Either reply here or via PM - easy either way.

I am in the UK, where are you located?

Hi there,

I joined recently the group and read with interest the conversations.
I came accros the Web page of Grahame and his various clocks and got 
interested in the cold cathode trigger clock project which I am going to 
build.
I have an academic background in physics and electronics but did not really 
work in that area, rather my professional job is in finance software.
Electronics is then a hobby for a very long time and I build all sorts of 
projects. So the next one is that trigger clock :)
I hope I can learn interesting things in the nixie world and I look forward 
to interacting here!

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[peter bunge]

I would be very careful letting your kids play with Nixies. I'm not saying
don't let them but find low energy power supplies to run them.
You will need 200 volts or more from a switching power supply. Do not use a
transformer or line voltages.

It would be safer to let them try 7 segment LED displays (5 volts) or
Vacuum Fluorescent displays (25 volts) see below. The input would be BCD
which can be 4 switches with pullup resistors. The chip is a CMOS 4543,
ignore the _rev typo. This one runs from 5v using a $2 step up supply from
China for the +25v .
They can learn about clock generators and decoders, useful stuff.

Hi, 
I'm a kind of geek dad of geek kids (Legos, Minecraft, Scratch, Arduino, 
you know it). One of my sons bought nixie months ago but wasn't able to 
make them work. So I'm basically here to learn what's going on. I don't

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[Anthony]

Hello everyone! Managed to get approved by a moderator to join this lovely 
community.

Hopefully I am using this platform correctly; I've actually never used 
Google groups as a platform for communication, so forgive me if something 
goes awry.

I've toyed with Nixies several years ago, but packed them away due to other 
life/work commitments. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances 
(getting laid off, having to move, 2020 as a whole :')) I now have quite a 
bit of spare time on my hands and decided to dust off the old electronics 
box. I ended up digging up my old Nixie clock and have dived right back 
into this wonderful hobby of nostalgic electronic equipment.

Hope to learn a lot from everyone in this community!

I was using a cheap Chinese eBay-bought GPS module I already had, that
wasn't the one Adafruit suggested, and it worked just fine.

 We are getting a steady stream of new members - it'd be great if,
 instead of just lurking, you could introduce yourselves with a bit of
 detail about your interests, what you've built or intend to build/dream of
 building. Even what gets you up the morning and makes you smile!

 Even existing members (there are over 1,000) could chip in - there's
 some great stuff around...

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[David Pye]

Hi Hannah,

Really enjoyed reading about this project.

It's got a large number of interesting bits, including design, 3D printing,
casting, machining etc, and looks excellent.

I had seen a few of these interesting VFDs for sale via eBay and had a
couple of questions and would be really interested to hear your thoughts if
you have time.

1) is it possible to use a simple H bridge to provide a rough AC drive to
operate the heater?  I presume originally it was spec'd for AC rather than
pulsed DC.

2) for the grid control, was there a reason you needed such powerful
transistors?  I did wonder whether you could have used one of the high side
driver ICs you used for the segments but I am sure you must have considered
that!  Another idea I have considered for grid multiplexing was a pullup
resistor on the grid to pull up to whatever voltage, and then just an NPN
transistor to pull it down to ground to turn it off.  Do you know if that
would work?   I ask as I am planning a VFD multiplex design (my current
designs are direct drive but for 18 segment tubes it gets a bit
unmanageable!)

Regards

David

Hello!
I'm Hannah and I am in NYC.  I am really interested in old technologies as 
they correlate to modern ideas.
I am currently working on a VFD build (no Nixie specific experience) and

Here is a blog on my VFD project.

I am an Open Source Hardware supporter and believe in the sharing of 
knowledge (its how I know so much of what I do).
Cheers!

Hi, there,

I'm Al, from the States. I've been lurking around here for a few months,
but thought to introduce myself. I'm certainly no electrical engineer, but
I fell in love early with vacuum tubes of all shapes and sizes. I've messed
with Nixies, Boroughs, Magic Eyes, Dekatrons, the list goes on. I started
out buying and assembling a few of Pete's kits, then slowly began building
my own clocks, calculators, and radios from the PCB up, mostly using
Dalibor's tubes. It's been a real great journey so far, and i've got a long
way to go. It's great to be here

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[Paul Andrews]

Use the SPI Library - it handles the bitbanging and the timing for you (I’m 
typing this on my phone, so it is a bit rough)

You may need to use a different SPI mode. There are four possibilities

You will also need to figure out which pins the SPI library uses.

In setup:

What about a B-5971 version, or a IV-17, I know the latter isn’t a Nixie tube, 
but in my opinion they’re still neat.

Pete,

I’d certainly be interested in a couple of B7971 FLW boards/kits if you decide 
to do another run. Also the ZM1350 would make an interesting project.

Thanks,

Hi Peter,
I bought one and the acrylic case way back, and your clock still going strong.  
I too, feel you should make more, I would be interested again!

[John Harwood]

Hey Pete,

I am new to the site and like you just watching at least for now.  I actually 
joined because I am working on a “Steam Punk” espresso machine, and I wanted, 
as much as possible the display electronics to be visible inside a glass dome.  
But I am about as inexperienced electronics engineer as you find and I am 
looking for someone to build those parts for me.  Might that be you?
  
Best
John

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[Nicholas Stock]

My name is Nick and I'm a nixieholic. There, I've said it...I've heard that
admitting the problem is 50% of the solution, but I digress...

I'm not an EE by trade, but my dad is and I blame him. It started when I
built my first stereo (a John Linsley Hood Mosfet Amp from an Electronics
Today International article back in the late 1980's/early 1990's from a
company called williamshart who sold the kits..it still works to this
day..). It's been a downhill slope ever since. Cut to 2001 and my first job
in the Pharmaceutical industry (I'm a medicinal chemist by trade) and I
stumbled on Jeff Thomas' websiteoh dear, that's when things really got
out of hand. I built one of his Commemorative Nixie tube clocks as a kit
(including drilling out the sockets for the tubes as Jeff didn't have
any;-) and it still runs to this day. Then came the Nixisats, WWVB,
Nixichron, GPSII etc etc and then all the other great designs out there.
I've lost count of how many clocks I've made. I then started to 'add value'
by building nice cases for them and thus started a small hobby that could
'almost' pay for itself...(ha ha, who am I kidding...). Interests then
broadened to dekatrons, VFD's, CRT's and numitronslife has never been
the same since and my wife thinks I'm crazy (but she does like the end
products, so that's a relief...). One of the most rewarding parts of this
is all the people and friends I've made across the globe who are similar
fans of antique displays...I've even met up with some of them and had
drinks, dinner etc. I'm now trying to learn more about how to build the
things from scratch, but with two young kids and a day job, I only know
enough about electronics to ask very stupid questionshopefully this
will change one day...we shall see, I've been stockpiling bits for just
that occasion

Welcome to the new members, there's no such thing as a stupid question
(unless you ask the same thing twice...;-), there's a wealth of very smart
people on here who are generous with their time and knowledge.

Cheers,

(Pharma) Nick

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Welcome & please introduce yourself!

[Thomas Kummer]

New member, but I’ve already posted here before. Anyway, my only completed 
project was the spectrum1040 with B6091 tubes, really loved everything about 
that project the soldering, making the case etc. I have a 12V UV LED disk that 
I will be attaching to the power supply then a bottle of Nuka Cola quantum will 
be mounted onto the clock to give it some fallout looking appearance. 

As for a future project I plan on making nixie car gauges, from IN-17s so 
they’ll fit into a standard size gauge housing, posted the schematic a few 
weeks ago, I had a buddy who was gonna do the programming for me, but I don’t 
know that he will now and may have to learn C++ on my own. I have little to no 
formal training in electronic engineering, but have been more or less 
successfully self teaching myself.
