Edward, now that is a nice and simple solution for builds! I have been using those ones with alligator clips for ages and you have to keep adjusting them. That idea of yours I am going to adapt for multiple board sizes. Nice one! On Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 9:50:40 PM UTC+1, Edward Van

I have a similar jig I made for working on radio chassis years ago -- similar in theory but think about it scaled up about 8x. And I was inspired at the time by the guys over at rec.pinball who make similar jigs for working on pinball playfields. Terry On Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 3:50:40

How about add a piece of antistatic foam to the bottom of the foam? On Monday, August 28, 2017 at 12:18:00 PM UTC-5, gregebert wrote: > > Be careful with any plastic contraptions; they can create ESD problems. As > long as no ESD-sensitive parts are on the board during handling, no worries. > >

[neonixie-l] Re: PV Electronics R568 Clock Project With Black R|Z568M Nixie Tubes

I dont think that would eliminate the potential problem. Antistatic foam is not prone to charge-accumulation from friction; beyond that it has no magical properties. If you are using this to hold ESD-sensitive thru-hole parts, you're probably better-off wearing a wriststrap and slightly

[neonixie-l] Weird display (possibly OT)

Hi As i'm interested in nuclear items, i follow a few searches on ebay Today i spotted this http://ebay.com/itm/132309322622 No intrest in the item, but look at the weird display they used! Possibly there is a bulb behind each number, like a edge lit. Never seen one of these... Its probably

[neonixie-l] Re: PV Electronics R568 Clock Project With Black R|Z568M Nixie Tubes

Be careful with any plastic contraptions; they can create ESD problems. As long as no ESD-sensitive parts are on the board during handling, no worries. If you do have ESD-sensitive parts, it's probably best to mount them last. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[neonixie-l] Re: Weird display (possibly OT)

I've seen this type of display on a very old Berkeley universal counter; neon bulb behind each digit. It's very annoying to read because the digits bounce up-and-down; pre-dates nixie tubes. I salvaged one of these about 40 years ago, and another a few years later; must have had about 50 vacuum

Good luck with the building. If you have a wrist-strap, shorting all of the power-supply connections, including gnd, together and tying this to your wrist-strap will usually keep you ESD-safe. If you dont have a wrist-strap, then be sure to touch the shorted connections with one hand, before

[neonixie-l] Re: PV Electronics R568 Clock Project With Black R|Z568M Nixie Tubes

Thanks Greg All the parts are in a (ESD) bag and the PIC is in conductive foam. I have a wrist strap that I can connect to the pads for the power supply input on the PCB. I should be able to get it all done tomorrow except for all the wiring going to the remote switches and LED's. I
