This is a really neat thing. I've been wanting a Nixie display to use in at least one of my old cars for a long time, but never got up the ambition to make one. Recently I discovered the fun of connecting a MegaSquirt EFI controller to an old car to use only for data loggingof course it could b

Is there a reason why the nixie can not be placed in a non-multiplexed state for long enough to take the reading? I'm a software guy, so I would just bodge a version of the code that turned on a single nixie and left it on. Then I'd measure the current with a DMM. Ta-da. :) Done. The only gotch

Dmms tend to use charge balance techniques for measurements and these can be way off at ac esp at higher frequencies. A cheap old analogue meter would probably give you a better approx reading. Another way I have used is just supply the thing from a bench power supply and look at the current draw

Lovely work - small point - there are those here who have made nixie speedos etc. for motorbikes & cars (but not as nice as yours), but most had problems with vibration damaging the nixies and/or their connectors - nixie is parallel to the road and puts pressure on the pins - over time, spring

Why are you trying to achieve 8ma of current on IN-14's? Nominal supply current for that tube is 2.5ma, everything else is providing excessive current. Now, when multiplexing, lots of times we like to use excessive current to make the display brighter, but I wouldn't kill myself trying to achie

No, it is still not correct because the total power consumption doesn't add up. The 12mA DC current for the 200V supply is correct because you want 2mA for each tube. This means when multiplexing, a pair of tubes must have a maximum peak current of 12mA, not 6mA. That's where the problem is. 12m

I can smell a misunderstanding here (from my side, that is). What are you trying to achieve? I just read your previous posts, it seems like you're after 2mA average current per tube, so your power supply should be able to deliver 12mA in total. I assume the anodes from the 2 tubes go through 1 re

IN-14 strike at 170V, but when multiplexed this should be a bit higher. That's why it's set to 200 volts. It then drops to 140V according to the datasheet, but in reality, I measured 144. So if I take 200-140 it's 60 volts across the anode resistor, giving the peak of 8mA. But to be honest, I am re
