I uploaded a version of the russian-nixies.lbr (Eagle footprint library) here that has a corrected footprint. I added a footprint with pads for the female D-SUB pins that many folk seem to use as sockets. I'll add KiCAD files when I figure out how

A picture of one of my IN-18s plugged into the first PCB I have ever designed and had made (KiCAD and OSH park). It is a breadboard adaptor! It is being driven from an arduino using a K155ID1. Someone (I don't remember who) pointed out that you can use a K155ID1 to drive LEDs as a good way to

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Mounting IN-18 tubes

They are approximately 2mm thick. Laser cut, film covered, you need to push out the waste from the pin receptacles on them before inserting the pins. I have the Spectrum 1040 kit variation for Z568M tubes. Pete has a few different tube mounts for the Spectrum kit depending on which tube you

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Mounting IN-18 tubes

Thanks. I ordered some pins. Can anyone tell me the thickness of the acrylic disks that PV electronics use? I am about to order some acrylic pieces for something else so it would be good to get a few disk prototypes made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[neonixie-l] Re: Mounting IN-18 tubes

I use socket pins soldered into the PCB. Yes, there's also a hole in the PCB for the nib. The socket pins are low-insertion force, so it's very easy to remove the tube if necessary 0. Carefully bend any obviously misaligned pns. Be careful because the pins are very soft. Ignore the surface
