Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Maybe a stupid question...

With the parts order having arrived I was able to hook up the circuit per my idea. It works exactly as I hoped it would. Thousands (seemingly) of variations based on the settings of the pots. It outputs a changing voltage right in the range of the intended VCO I plan to have downstream. Initial

[neonixie-l] Re: Constant current regulator for Nixies

Generally, the '1' is actually two parallel wires,so it's comparable in length to the other numerals. Datasheets for segmented displays clearly show different currents for various segments, but I have not seen that for full-formed nixies (eg, 10 cathodes for 0-9) -- You received this message

For anode-side, I use a PMOS device (see attached picture). The current is set to (PRDV-Vgs)/R7. You can get Vgs(on) from the datasheet, usually it's around 4V for higher-voltage PMOS devices. The PDRV signal generated from a potentiometer and a small 12V DC-DC converter; adjust it to obtain

[neonixie-l] Re: Constant current regulator for Nixies

What is your method of current regulation? For example, do you use a PnP transistor or the lm317 method, or something else? I have room to add something for my anodes, but I'm unsure if using a transistor would be accurate. On Sunday, 14 August 2016 03:02:17 UTC-4, gregebert wrote: > > I use

I have a pile (~1K) 11 digit calculator displays and eventually settled on a 0.5mm thick double sided translator board installed with conductive epoxy. The connection now becomes a simple DIP header: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140729423185 I remember having a bag of the clips back in the '80s and
