[neonixie-l] Re: Tube database?

[SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F.]

I'm afraid google doesn't provide such a solution. 

The data would have to be stored in a database. MySQL has bad performance, 
but for this tube database which contains little data, it should be just 
fine. Interfacing with a web-page is very easy and is done millions of 
times on the web. A "own" solution has the benefits that it can be fully 
customized to the needs of the user, is independand and can be backed up/ 
migrated easily. A SQL dump can be importet to any SQL Database in case the 
server/hosting would have to shut down.

Re: [neonixie-l] What a find!

The software just runs on an Arduino (or maybe Wemos) and you attach a probe to 
the pin on the Arduino. There is no PCB involved, but as I said, the results 
aren’t great.

[neonixie-l] Nixie Socket for B5971 & B8971

[Bill Notfaded]

Looks great!  I got you email today about the project.  I'll be getting the 22 
socket plan and also want the two under development.  I need both of those 
sockets.  I have both sets of tubes but exactly enough for my clocks.  Did you 
know a single and set of six b-5971 are on eBay right now?  I could buy the 
single one and send to you if you can't find one.

I'm looking for tubes B5971 & B8971 (buy or borrow).
I need these tubes to make sockets. Maybe someone here has them?
One tube will be enough. I'll be grateful for any help.

My last socket for B7971:

One of the main goals of this project should be to create a reference tool for 
the community that won't unexpectedly disappear or become inaccessible one day. 
I've seen that happen too many times. Given the checkered history of group 
hosting, I'm extremely leery of creating archives using the host's built-in 
features and storage unless there is an offline backup of everything. Just in 
case.

I get what you're saying. I don't have a problem with using "free" solutions 
from Google et al, such as hosting it online, as long as the whole thing is 
safely backed up offline in multiple locations.

I may sound paranoid but I've seen too much information (photos, pdfs, videos 
etc.) along with all the effort that went into creating and uploading it vanish 
overnight more than once. In the case of my own document and software archives, 
I store everything on external RAID1 drives. Each of them is in turn backed up 
to two additional external drives, one of which is stored off-site. I also keep 
bootable clones of my Mac and Windows system volumes. In the event of an 
internal drive failure I can run off of an external SSD.

I've been saved by this system more than once.


> Is there a free Google product that'll do what you want?

Given the potential complexity of this type of database some free variant of 
SQL would be a logical choice for authoring it. We have members with the skills 
and motivation to develop it. The finished database would then be accessible to 
all on the Web in some form. If Google or someone else has a free solution then 
we should definitely take a close look at it.


Just my $0.02. Feel free to pile on.

Re: [neonixie-l] What a find!

[martin martin]

Hi Paul,
This instrument is an odd counter and programmable timer.  If you look
close you’ll need the dials yo pick your time interval.   I am not a
programmer at all. I did in college but that was long ago.

If I were to modify it wouldn’t I have to cut circuitry?  There’s a pic of
the TTL in sockets.

What do you think?

Nice idea - it'd be good if it could be done vis Google Groups, like the

Is there a free Google product that'll do what you want?
