Thanks for the input. Yea that's a new one I've never heard of, looks like
a decent program. Haha yea, I love nixies! It's a great hobby for me right
now, after doing fluid mechanics all day I just spend a couple hours
soldering :)
On that note, my dekatron tubes came friday! What a gorgeous
Glad to see you had better success than I did with liner tubes; I
experimented with a few IN-9's and found them to be unpredictable.
Instead, I used strings of NE-2 bulbs (304 in total) to make my big clock,
which you can see in my profile pic. To get a sense of size, the clock is
just over 20
No problem, good to hear from you again, I was hoping you didn't disappear!
. I will take a look through the files and familiarize myself with eagle
once I get it downloaded. Should be approved for the educational edition
early next week.

There was another on the list about 6mos ago, it was a kick starter and
above my pay level. I try not to copy, some days timing just sucks. I
started on this then found his. Mine is going to be a kit with mostly
through hole parts.

Now that's a neat concept ! Someone talked about using neon bargraphs (IN9
or IN13) to make an analog clock, but I don't recall actually seeing one.
Or maybe I did, and just forgot. Anyways, nicely done !
One of the bad things about getting old is the memory going. On the plus
side, I can get

Yes. It was based on the MM5314 from National Semiconductor.
I wonder in what kind of device they were used

I built one of these way back when. Unfortunately, it is long gone, but as I
recall it treated the tubes as 7-segment devices, and so the 2 middle vertical
and the 4 diagonal segments will NEVER have been lit.

@John - which of the additional components would remain ? Just the
feedback resistor and cap, or any of the rest of it as well. Napkin
drawing ?

In a very cobbled fashion (clip leads) I tried the two sections
together. Over a period of a couple hours of knob twiddling they
yielded a variety of sounds reminiscent of a vintage pinball machine,
or at the least old school video games. The vast majority of the knob
settings however yielded what

I'm a big gEDA person myself. I drank the linux kool-aid a long time ago
and I do enjoy laying out my boards in a more manual way. It is reasonably
easy to use makes nice boards and schematics and creating foot prints are
very hard after the first one or two.
Good luck keeping your new addiction
John,
Just wondering how the eagle part is coming? I would be perfectly happy using
your initial layout, it looks great! Could you attach the eagle file for me to
look over? Not sure exactly what size your design is but hopefully i could open
it with my student version of the program.

I ran across similar capacitor problem when using surface mount tantalum
capacitors and MLCC capacitors, without the proper working voltage across
them they behave poorly. I had to read a lot of design notes and datasheets
to realise that they did not fit my design, MLCC capacitors has to be
I haven't looked at electro specs closely since the mid '90s. I was involved
with a product that used a conventional aluminium electro in an apparently
undemanding application. The value was 10uF and variously two types were used-
a 10VDC and a 25VDC [ or a bit higher - I forget]. The DC
16 matches
