[neonixie-l] NASA APOLLO Era Fairchild/Systron Donner 7050 Volt Ohm Meters

I live less than 15 miles from Wapakoneta Ohio the hometown of Neal Armstrong. Big celebrations are going on for the 50th anniversary of the APOLLO 11 moon landing. That got me to thinking about the NASA surplus Nixie Meters I purchased off EBay some years ago. I posted some pictures on the TCA

Nice set of features. The case looks awfully similar to my square Nixie watch. I guess that's where the design converges to. I'm still puzzled why other people need an RTC chip and a fast computer to make a Nixie watch. I can get excellent results from a PIC running at 32 kHz, keeping time in

Anybody done something similar with B4998 tubes? I know Jeff (RIP) was working on a wristwatch using them Nick On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 7:38 AM Paul Andrews wrote: > Amazing achievement. Having explored low power nixie tube applications > myself, I can appreciate just how hard it is to do

Amazing achievement. Having explored low power nixie tube applications myself, I can appreciate just how hard it is to do something with very constrained requirements like this. I'm curious what processor you used? On Wednesday, July 17, 2019 at 9:19:33 AM UTC-4, Remco wrote: > > Hi guys, > > >

Very nice!!! To pull off the electrical design, fab and integrate it into an aesthetically pleasing watch design is no small feat. My only criticism of the z5900m is the coarse anode. In my opinion the previous style tube you used (Burroughs) with the fine mesh anode is much nicer to look at. But

Thanks Nick, I'll check your design too, but if I am going to make one it'll have to be through hole, too poor eyesight makes it very hard to solder SMD for me. /Martin On Wednesday, 17 July 2019 09:23:50 UTC+2, Nick wrote: > > My MAX1771 design can probably be pushed to that. Yes, C4 & C6

I have to find User manual and read why it displays resistance. It can measure active resistance of circuit impedance. So "П" in "П53.20kΩ" means that active resistance on measured circuit is more than 100k. Why it shows 53.20kOhm which is within 100k range and "П" I have no idea...;-(

My MAX1771 design can probably be pushed to that. Yes, C4 & C6 would have to be higher voltage and R2 changed - the PRC221 range have a working voltage of 200V but are safe to 500V - it would be better to find a 2512 footprint resistor with a 300 or 350 volt working for long term reliability.

Appreciate the offer. In my book, simple is good and something is way better than nothing. We have several administrators here and we already shadow the message base to other locations. There's no reason that we can't do exactly the same for the library here. Google drive works well with
