Make sure you are using excess anode voltage; spec is 135V but try closer to 200V. Higher voltage does NOT harm a nixie; excess current does, so make sure you have a current-limited supply, or add some series resistance. In this case, about 75K for a 200V supply is fine for 1 segment. Did this

For a Panaplex I don't have a lot of experience, unfortunately. Are you sure it is not degassed? You can hold a plasma globe close by and see if there is any neon left inside of it. Jens On 2019-05-30 7:48 p.m., alex nolan wrote: ZM 1350, in this case On Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 9:43:59 PM

My big clock simulates clock-hands with 306 NE-2H bulbs; during self-test, all of them light-up and you can actually *feel* the light on your face. It's a weird sensation because the bulbs dont actually heat-up and re-radiate in that short of time. -- You received this message because you are

These things won't light reliably at 175V. In my experience you will need more like 240V. On Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 4:16:46 PM UTC-4, ZY wrote: > > What is your plan for powering this display? I ask because I also have 4 > modules that I'm trying to get to work. > > As far as I can see, at

What is your plan for powering this display? I ask because I also have 4 modules that I'm trying to get to work. As far as I can see, at 13mA per tube, lighting all 23 digits requires 0.3A, which at 175V is like 52 watts? And that's just one of the digits. -- You received this message because
