Hello all,
I've gathered some tubes and related electronics over time, in hopes of
building clocks, and meters and things, but I just don't have time. I'm
raising funds for another project, so I'm selling my Nixie stuff.
I have
11 IN-14
10 IN-1
12 IN-2
3 power supplies from Tayloredge
2 IN-9
Who wants to go halfsies?

You need to bring the binary pins high or low. You've got them
floating. Get a datasheet for the chip, and add voltages to the ABCD
pins, in the proper configuration. There is a binary chart, as well
as corresponding binary to pin layout, on that datasheet.

No no no, the memory is much larger, the program I wrote is probably very

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I'll remove the current limiting
resistor to the 74141, I'll check the Picaxe, and 74141, and I'll simulate
my code to make sure pins are going high low at the same time.
I'll check in later
