Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. The official cutting tools I've found cut only up to 56mm, but my ribbon cable is 80mm wide, so it needs 2 cuts. I should have designed my boards with 2 x 32 connectors… Am Samstag, 6. Januar 2018 01:43:39 UTC+1 schrieb Terry Kennedy: > > On Friday, January

A bit more commentary on the flyback converter herewhen you see the PS1 transformer pin go negative, it's probably doing so when the MOSFET turns on, correct ? That's normal transformer behavior, but I will caution you that if you harvest energy from it (during the ON cycle) there will be

I have an early Pete Hand FLW clock, to which I added the PIR sensor. It's actually positioned outside the acrylic case, along side the feet. Very inconspicuous. Since it's essentially black in color, you will not notice it until you look for it. I don't even think it's visible in this picture:

I cant take credit for depoisoning; lots of collective experience from this group and we all chip-in what we learn. I've had minimal success running at high current to depoison a dirty tube. But, why not try it ? You have nothing to lose. - Some tubes just wear-out or leak. I have several Bu

Thank you for sharing this explicit info. Are you the person that explained how to depoison a Nixie by running a higher-than-normal amperage current during several hours? I had a Nixie-reading overdose so I remember the facts but not the authors :-( I didn't buy the PIR sensor of the PV Electro

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions about voltage doubling

If you want to do a doubler, use a CCFL transformer. The primary is center-tapped, so that is connected to the supply voltage, Then the other legs on the primary are alternately switched to GND. Expect to spend a lot of time fiddling with the design to get decent efficiency and acceptable peak

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions about voltage doubling

Actually, you dont need a doubler on a flyback topology, because the output voltage will increase to whatever value is necessary to dump the energy stored in the inductor (transformer).. Just be careful not to exceed the voltage rating (insulation) on the transformer. To a first-order, whether

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

My 18-tube IN-18 clock has been running for over 2 years now; the date is displayed on 8 tubes in MM.DD. format, and those are basically static. Time is on the other 6 in HH:MM:SS format, so not all of them are fully cycled. Each night, at 11PM, the clock does a depoisoning routine for 1 ho

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

The idea is that the tubes are run at full brightness for a while, every so often to drive off deposits from the cathodes. I haven’t seen any experimental results indicating how successful this is. However I have certainly witnessed complete glow coverage being restored when cathodes are driven
