I got a bunch of cheap GPS modules from China and they seem to use a u-blox 8 chip. Because I don’t like the NMEA spam delivered every second by most of the gps modules, I had a look at the UBX protocol… nice! I decided to ignore the existing huge libraries and write a lightweight one just for

Be warned that magic-eye tubes, such as the 6E5, have a rather short lifespan, so make sure you power them down when not in-use and keep the brightness as low as tolerable. They are pretty easy to use; I suggest you use a DAC under software-control to drive the grid. On Thursday, February 4, 20

I've dissected quite a few TV's in past years, and the deflection yoke has a rather complex winding pattern, where the windings are closer together at the neck, and spread outward around the funnel-area of the tube. If I recall, there are 4 coils at 90-degree intervals, and the top/bottom coils

Actually a magic eye is a bargraph like display. There was some time ago an activity display for Windows Task manager. The magazine where it was published is Elektor (German and Dutch, but there was also an English issue (electronic world?) from the same editor. eric rVan: neonixie-l@googl

Before the prices rise out of sight, I'd like to have a few magic eye driver boards and tubes. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask you guys first. All I need is the ability to feed a signal in and make them do interesting things. Most of the kits I've seen are so-called "VU" meters

Hi list, Has anyone created new magnetic deflection yokes for crts that are obtained without them? Seems like an ideal application for 3d printing but yet a daunting project. Are there any books, recommended project examples, or other resources that might help in yoke design? I own a handful of
