I modified it so you can set the brightness of each pin, so the hour now defaults to be brighter than the other two. I briefly tried anti-aliasing the hour hand, but that would be a much more invasive change. The hack I tried was not good! > On Jun 2, 2017, at 8:20 AM, Jon D.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Shameless Plug: Arduino Shield for a Dekatron

In the code as it stands, simple integer math is used, I.e. results are truncated from their full real value. I had been considering widening the hour indicator to two pins, so that it could be distinguished from the minutes (seconds is easily distinguished because it moves faster). Dithering

[neonixie-l] Re: Shameless Plug: Arduino Shield for a Dekatron

Just occurred to me, that hours may be a bit weird. A dekatron having 30 rods, works well for seconds and minutes. For those hands, just advance their locations, once every 2 seconds, or minutes, respective of which hand, it represents. Hours is a bit odd. That's why on my original one

Just relisted some more kits. Will be kitting more, so the available count may bump up occasionally, or it will be relisted again. In short, I have more. > > Dekatron Shield Kit > > > Video > --

[neonixie-l] Re: Shameless Plug: Arduino Shield for a Dekatron

Thanks. I ordered an A101 because I figured I should start out with what you were using in your video. I also ordered an A103 because, you know, purple! So all I need now is a few of your kits for the little project I have in mind. On Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 5:37:07 PM UTC-4, threeneurons

I've got plenty of boards, and most of the parts. Looked in my 1uf 250V bin, which usually has plenty of parts, and its damn near empty. Have them on order, from two places (can never have enough), and will kit, and list them, when ready. Hopefully, early next week. I've got plenty of project
