The only problem with that is, that the pin in question ( Picaxe pin 4) is physical pin 3. I'm still pursuing this as an answer in the Picaxe manuals. Thanks for a direction to look! Shane On Oct 23, 8:21 pm, "Bill van Dijk" wrote: > Shane, > > I don't know the Picaxe well, but the regular PIC'

Shane, I don't know the Picaxe well, but the regular PIC's pin 4 on the port A are open collector. They will sink, but not go high unless you use an external pull-up resistor to VDD. Check your Picaxe manual for this. Cheers, BILL _ From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neo

Hey Carl, I bought one of those gizmoz some time ago and use it for proto typing hardware/software on a breadboard. Works great for that. Easy to reconfigure and toss on the self when not needed. Good luck. Dennis On 23 Oct, 10:11, Splicker wrote: > Thanks for all the advice guys! I love this co

I'm using a Picaxe 08M, and an IN-14 tube, a standard 74141 driver, and a Tayloredge power supply. I had a similar problem some months back, and the fix I used last time, isn't cutting it this go round. When pin 4 goes high (output) both the Zero, and Nine light up at the same time. I know my co

Steve, you will find vociferous supporters of both multiplexed and non- multiplexed designs! I have built a number of BOTH, so will summarise my view: >Multiplexed often means less or simpler hardware (the same driver electronics >serving more than one tube). >You can often use smaller PIC chips

It still may not necessarily be a bad idea to get these archives mirrored out to private members of the group, especially if most of the work is already completed. -Adam On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 6:21 AM, Nick wrote: > On Oct 23, 10:57 am, Marcin Adamski > wrote: > > Sorry for bringing it back f

Thanks for all the advice guys! I love this community loads already! It's very refreshing to see people that are willing to help newbies. Okay I've bought one and I'm looking at clocks and voltage supplies to buy right now. May my frustrating yet ultimately rewarding Nixie adventure begin! Carl

Quite fascinating! But not really the kind of thing youz could really "use", since it requires 30kV ionisation for the O2 and a vacuum pump system ;-) If it was filled with some neon and argon, and sealed properly (that is the critical point I'd say) that would be VERY cool. Jens On 22 Okt., 23:
