Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
sorry for opening an old post (2012?) but I couldn't see any others and didn't think it with opening a new thread. I'm not the smartest hobby electronics person but I do enjoy tinkering : ) I have been building one of these to add to my small (so far) collection of nixie clocks etc. I have the main pcb finished and need to mount the sensor to it's pcb. Because it is smd I want to use the 'heated skillet and solder paste' method but I am not sure which way to orientate the chip to the board. This is the one with the SHT21 sensor on the little daughter board? The NC pins are pins 3 and 4, and the unconnected pads are the ones toward the through-hole pins. To put it another way, the notch (cut corner) on the die pad on the bottom should point away from the through hole pins, and the sensor opening on the top of the chip should point toward the through hole pins. Can anyone advise please particularly if they have a photo of one? I consider myself to be Kinesthetic as I learn and understand better by watching rather than reading or hearing hence the photo would be good. I don't have this kit, so I can't take a photo, but if it would help, I can make up a diagram showing the placement of the chip. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

RE: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
There are several makes of the SHT21 one is fitted on a small SMD print, but an other on has an elongated print with header pins. Further there is a Arduni compatable and an I²C compatable type. I am busy to re-develop the original design to extend it with a real time clock as a reference for shut off the nixies at night a nightly scan of the nixies to avoid cthode poisoning, a PIR sensor to activate the hv when a person enters the room or unit at darkness. Fianlly I use the more charming IN17 instead of the IN14's that have became scarse and expensive. The high voltage will be derived from the more efficiënt and smaller Taylor supply. The sensor comes outside the case to get a more reliable read-out (no warming up by the components inside) or in a 'tunnel' with mechanic ventilation. eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John Rehwinkel Sent: zaterdag 10 mei 2014 13:57 To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal sorry for opening an old post (2012?) but I couldn't see any others and didn't think it with opening a new thread.

Mystery of the small K is solved: The tubes is developed to use in Cyrillic. In Cyrillic the lower case k has the same shape as the upper case K but is smaller [ http://www.hts-homepage.de/Suchen.html }. But what does it matter if you use it as a K in your thermometer ?

That is funny, I once read an old scientific paper where they talked about capacities measured in centimeters and I was very confused because I am used to SI.

Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
I hadn't even thought about tire sizes... and leave 'our' 50hz alone haha, out of interest though this is from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) There is speculation that the value of 50 Hz was chosen in Europe as being an element in the metric “Series of Preferred Numbers,” proposed by the French army engineer Charles Renard in the 1870s. Indeed, the R10 series, consisting of the following rounded values 10, 12.5, 16, 20, 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100...See so we went with metric way back!

The only thing you need to know is that the BBC and the Queen use degrees
C... I rest my case...
...though we use imperial measures for length (but often also metric) and
distance, speed area, volume of draught beer and milk (but not petrol)
etc. simple really.

OT Mixed measure Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal

Re: OT Mixed measure Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
My preferred approximation from F to C would be dividing by two but still taking the 32 into consideration... What I can't quite understand about the Imperial system is why they decided to go with 3, 12 and 16. I.E. 12 inches for a foot, 3 feet makes a yard. And 16 oz a pint. On top of that all the fractions are 2-related. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16. Why not just 10, 100, 1000!? My biggest embarrassment is to go to a hardware store, stop in front of the wrenches cabinet and start making mental math just to find out what is the next bigger size after finding out the one I have in my hands is a little bit too small! hahahaha Forget going from square inches to square feet in less than 2 seconds! Anyway, in Brazil we sell tires just like in USA. Bronze and Stainless Steel are sized in inches. Mild and special application Steel are in Metric. Same for Plastics. All the first big companies came from Germany or Italy (metric) or England and US (imperial).

Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
Next items on the agenda is 60Hz for Europe If you are going to make the change why not go to 400Hz? Save Ton of Copper in transformers. And smaller capacitors, less lamp flicker, easy inductive chargers, and all sorts of good things. There's been some research on electrical effects on living tissue, and it turns out that the 50-60Hz range is actually one of the more damaging ones, as luck would have it. 400Hz would be a big improvement in that respect as well. I've heard objections that 400Hz has a shorter wavelength, and would make long distance power transmission more difficult, but it turns out that doesn't necessarily apply, as much long distance power transmission is done via DC these days, now that high-powered silicon is available to convert between AC and DC. And half-wave rectified 400Hz makes a dandy nixie power supply - flicker is much less of a problem.

Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal
In the article, the author states that F is not on the IN-19 tube he used and that is why there is no Fahrenheit feature. Personally, I would displayed Fahrenheit after the C reading and simply blanked the IN-19.

Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie thermometer in Elektor journal

Anyway I think it should be measured in 'Kelvins' ;) On Wednesday, 4 July 2012 05:20:32 UTC+1, Dave wrote: In the article, the author states that F is not on the IN-19 tube he used and that is why there is no Fahrenheit feature.
