I can see it now... cyber terrorists hack into our clocks and cause cathode-poisoning, microSD wearout, obscene messages, inaccurate time Admittedly, I've put on a few pounds since my college days so the clock might not look so big if I stood next to it:< ( My only wish is that there

That’s a monster clock Greg! We can’t even see you standing next to it for scale ;-) I’m just waiting for the day a cyber terrorist tries to hack in to my networked clocks :-) > On Jan 4, 2018, at 11:29 AM, gregebert wrote: > > My 8-tube b7971 clock is powered by a

Peter, I'd like to buy one of your kits. At your convenience, please email me at mlmccau...@att.net regarding payment, shipping, etc. Nice design! I'm looking forward to building it. Mike On Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 2:15:39 AM UTC-6, petehand wrote: > > LOL, I ordered a Weisling kit for my

LOL, I ordered a Weisling kit for my daughter too, and it didn't arrive, and that's why I designed my own version. I still have a dozen PCBs that use all through hole components, if you want one. With this design all the components are underneath the board, tubes on top. On Wednesday,

[neonixie-l] Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

Hello people. I recently discovered the Nixies, and instantly falled in love. I decided to make my first Nixie clock, so I bought 6 IN-18 Nixies, a Nixie tester/Healer from fleabay and a Nixie clock kit from PV Electronics. The idea is to quickly build a Nixie clock (I've gotta have one!) so

Imagine how fat that looks if you make a proper case around that. Also the alignment of the digits is very odd! They should be at leas in the middle... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

My 8-tube b7971 clock is powered by a RasPi; I posted a video several months ago before I built the case. Using the WiringPi library, you can get decent GPIO speeds; I've measured about 2Mbits/sec when serialized completely by software. The problem is that the Pi runs Linux, so there are random

[neonixie-l] Re: status of original Weisling FLW kit design? Clone kits? Software?

Looks good! Do you have a schematic and pictures of a finished unit that you could post? How much are you asking for your boards (plus shipping, of course)? Thanks! Mike On Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 2:15:39 AM UTC-6, petehand wrote: > > LOL, I ordered a Weisling kit for my daughter too,

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: status of original Weisling FLW kit design? Clone kits? Software?

Pete, ever considered releasing this as an open source project? Put the boards on OSHPark or similar etc? (Pharma) Nick On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 9:45 AM, Mike McCauley wrote: > Looks good! > > Do you have a schematic and pictures of a finished unit that you could > post?

Greetings Petehand,Was this an offer to the group, or just one individual? If to the group, i'd certainly be interested in one. I'd be happy to cover postage and a nominal fee, if you wish!All the best,SamOn Jan 4, 2018 3:15 AM, petehand wrote:LOL, I ordered a Weisling kit for

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

One quick point: Nixie tubes are current driven. It is important to keep the current within the limits defined for the tube. The voltage just has to be large enough to initiate the glow. It is typically somewhat larger so that a suitable current-limiting resistor can be put in series with the

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

Direct drive or multiplexing - I would vote for direct drive. It is just simpler to control, as you need to set the GPIOs only once a second. As far as I 've heard, controlling GPIO of a RPI is problematic, so you could use shift registers or I2C I/O expanders. With those you aren't really

[neonixie-l] Re: Questions from a Nixie newbie (raspberryPI project)

Also, I would recommend using IN-12 tubes for experimentation. They are cheap and very tolerant. I have breadboard adapters for both them and IN-18 (and more) that you can buy from OSHPark: http://www.nixies.us/resources/resources/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
