This is interesting to me because the current baffled me some. I like how the Nixie tester/healer has the connections to hook up to MM to measure current and voltage. To have this measured by the processor in the clock is neat idea. I also like the idea of controllable current and voltage

You can measure cathode current much easier than anode current, and it's the same thing. Tie all your cathode driver grounds together, and put a small resistance between them and ground. Select the resistance so that it has a bit less than one volt when operating. On Sun, May 12, 2019, 5:28 AM

Anode voltage is easy; just use a resistive divider to get the voltage within the range of your ADC, and be sure to put a filter cap (0.01uF should work) at the ADC input (most ADC inputs appear as a switched-capacitor). Current is a different animal. The easiest way to dodge this is to use a
