Added a reset circuit, so it will count from 0 to 5, then reset to 0: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14htr2_a107-divide-by-6-nixie-counter-driver_tech Well, actually it transiently hit 6, but then quickly resets to 0, so you never see the 6

This was indeed a nice way of solving the reset/set circuit. If I don't misunderstand how the circuit works you can add one transistor between each pair of cathodes on both even and odd branches, and if you also add the possibility to reset/set the flip/flop, it would be possible to set the

You mean something like this: http://www.dailymotion.com/threeneurons#video=x148ak5 To get rid of two adjacent transistors being on at the same time, make sure that only an odd or even cathode is selected alternately. After a lot of convoluted pondering, I went back to the something that looks

Ahh, wondered what you meant with the first video. In my experiments I only got the A-108's to work with only one cathode on at each moment, the A-107's A-109's would always strike two cathodes no matter how I adjusted the circuit. I'll definately have to try your circuit and see if my

You are a bit ahead of your time too, on the circuit it says that you designed it in September 2103! ;) /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Have to get my transporter fixed. There's a recall on this model, since it seems to also teleport you thru time, as well as space. At least it isn't stuck to sending me to New Mexico, in 1947, anymore ! On Monday, September 9, 2013 1:25:57 AM UTC-7, Dekatron42 wrote: You are a bit ahead of

Nice that you could adjust it to pass current on two cathodes. To be able to build a nice clock with these, where each cathode drive a transistor which drives the Nixie, only one cathode should be struck at the same time. I did not do any tests on whether this was possible with the A-107 or
