You can also have decontrons do the counting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bl5kSr8C3Q I'm guessing some more parts can be replaced with tubes by replacing the rectifier with a tube rectifier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

i know this is an old pose but i have some 22v10's, what kind of stuff have you made with them? using one as a bargraph driver or shift register woud be nice for my projects since i have some neon clock displays and uusing one to multiples it would be cool, its an old gold ceramic 22v10, but

LOVED the Mach devices! I made those things dance and sing. Complex state machines that would make a CPU blush. Controlling steppers and sonars and reading encoders and writing to dual port RAM I used DATO I/Os version of ABEL and AMD's plug-ins and I was in heaven creating those designs!

Nice design, Mike What was the function of the microphone in the lower part of the shcematic? It goes to the connector and to a pin called X+ but I couldn't find what's after that. Gastón On Tuesday, June 5, 2018 at 2:15:41 AM UTC-3, threeneurons wrote: > > I've made a clock using a CPLD,

Long live PALASM ! I used CUPL a few times in the late 1980's. Were you able to program your device at home ? Most of the tools back then were not free, and out-of-reach for hobbyists. I remember sneaking into the lab during lunch hour to program EPROMs. -- You received this message because

[neonixie-l] Re: Divergent Nixie clock designs

I've made a clock using a CPLD, the little brother of the FPGA: https://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2018/06/mach210_clk.pdf AMD MACH210. It was made quite a while ago. I guess MACH210 chips are vintage now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Yeh - there are Verilog vs. VHDL wars just like Windows vs. Linus or C++ vs. almost anything! If I were designing an ASIC, I would probably go down the Verilog route, but as I'm sticking to FPGAs then I like the structure of VHDL, it's better portability and tighter definition. I've no problem

[neonixie-l] Re: Divergent Nixie clock designs

My current clock designs are using Xilinx FPGAs, coded in VHDL using Vivado. Really not a sensible thing to do, except that I've always wanted to learn VHDL, and the only way to learn a new language (for me) is to have a decent project or two. I started clocks on discrete logic, moved to PICs,

[neonixie-l] Re: Divergent Nixie clock designs

Well, these dont get full-credit because I havn't built them yet, but I have plans to do so: 1. 3D-printed gears as the timekeeping mechanism. Most likely, I would use photosensors because mechanical switches are unreliable 2. Dynamotor for the nixie supply of a battery-powered "portable"

[neonixie-l] Re: Divergent Nixie clock designs

Oh boy I hadn't considered FPGAs - I supposed that's beyond the scope of my current projects, just the direction I'm going in. Added to my list! Any others? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

[neonixie-l] Re: Divergent Nixie clock designs

The first clock I ever built (1980) used stepper relays and incandescent edge-lit displays. Time-keeping used a 1 RPM motor with a cam. It was a noisy piece of junk. My first nixie clock (2011) is built entirely from 4000-series CMOS logic gates, and runs off the AC line (no transformer).
