Why is the power drain such a huge issue in the thread? The OP doesn't plan to do anything fancy like having a huge chain of relays to decode bcd, just simply driving them from a microcontroller straight up. A six-digit nixie clock would only have 6 relays on at the same time, and a normal small

It's just the challenge to do everything with relay's, including the dividers. No MC nonsense ! People seems to have been forgotten that dividers and clocks where build out of flip-flops, discrete or with logic IC's... eric _ From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com

With uniselectors and bistable relays, none have to be energized except when switching! ;) /Martin On Saturday, 24 August 2013 12:34:21 UTC+2, Mats.Engstrom wrote: @eric: Sure, but that is not the issue here. The OP clearly stated the desire to build it with a MC - and then only 6 relays
