Yes, that's the one! Radio Shack catalog number 277-117. The IC included in the kit was 74H103. Mine came already assembled when it showed up in a box full of parts I rescued from the local tech school when they closed up. It is in rough shape. The builder decided to solder in sockets

Radio Shack ASCII keyboard ?? Is that the one that doesn't have a RETURN key (gotta use CTRL-M), but it does have a linefeed key ? I built a video terminal with that in high school and was thrilled I could use a 300 baud connection. Switching to 74HC should reduce your power. I recall there

How much were 7971's selling-for back in 2001, or whenever you got them ? Today I see them around 200 USD; I paid 80 USD back in 2017 when I built my 8-tube clock. Long ago, as in the 1970's, I think PolyPaks was selling surplus 2-tube modules for 8 USD. On Saturday, May 25, 2024 at 11:01:41 AM

4.5mA wont be a problem for a 1.5K (or smaller) SMT resistor, because the power is 30mW (or less). I guess the 3-terminal IN-13 has a much better behavior than the 2-terminal IN-9. On Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 12:51:09 PM UTC-7 Mac Doktor wrote: > Forgot to include this. It may be helpful or it

The IN-13 is only 4mA to fully light up. I think the formula for R3 and R4 is P=(I^2)(V) since they're in series and that gives less than 0.1W for both. So I could use a 0.25W resistor for them. Does that sound right or am I using the wrong formula? On Monday, May 6, 2024 at 10:44:31 PM UTC-4

I had a similar problem with a different WiFi device, in this case it was a wireless camera. When I got my new WiFi router from my new ISP, I set the SSID and password to be the same as the previous router, so that it would be a "seamless" transition. Well, for most WiFi devices (laptops,

Tell me more about all this. I would like to provide access to a movement sensor, so I’ve ordered a aqara motion sensor and a sonoff zigbee dongle. I’m a little confused about the options from there on though. e.g. ESPHome, zigbee2mqtt, HA etc. It seems like just polling an mqtt broker would

Hi Martin, This seems to be a bare VFD, the elektor article gives the pinout and a fair guess at how to drive the filement. I'm not sure you'll find a full datasheet due to the age. treat it as any other VFD. Cheers, Andrew On Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at 6:58:53 PM UTC Dekatron42 wrote:

Are you using mqtt in your clock? I use https://github.com/bertmelis/espMqttClient in one of my clocks to connect to my Bambu X1C 3D printer - it publishes updates on the printer status that I can display in my living room. On Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 10:38:55 AM UTC-5 Benoit Tourret

[neonixie-l] Re: Recommendations for a Nixie tester/cathode de-poisoner?

I wouldn't build a separate depoisoner; just build-in to your clocks. I've had very few issues with IN-18 poisoning. If your tubes have been sitting around unpowered for years, they shouldn't be poisoned and should be ready-to-use. My IN-18 clock runs about 16 hours per day, and at night it
