Looks like 64x64 matrix, probably 64 anode-connections on 1 side and 64 cathode connections on the other. I would expect a lot of flicker with 64:1 multiplexing at 1Khz; that's basically 16Hz flicker-rate. Even the 128x32 dot-matrix displays used on pinball machines have annoying flicker in my

That is very cool, and seems oddly over complex for what it does, compared to the more common similarly sizes Elektronika ones based on the 7 dot VFD tubes... Seems wasteful to have a full matrix but only show digits on part of it - what are those displays called, does anyone know? I have only

I have one of those counters too. The one listed is missing a tube and its front lens. The lens will be hard to match if someone wants to restore it correctly -- it's a dark amber circular polarizing filter; the few places that can supply this material call it HACP, and they charge an arm and a

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Finally, an LM Ericsson RYG10 coaxial Trochotron up and running!

Thanks! Now after some more testing I have the RYG10 up and running at 100 kHz (the limit of the oscillator that I am using right now) but I guess it will run up to the specified 300 kHz. The driving stage now uses either a ECC960 or a ECC962 (or their counterparts E90CC/E92CC) as I have a lot

[neonixie-l] Re: Finally, an LM Ericsson RYG10 coaxial Trochotron up and running!

I just added a movie where I drive the RYG10 from a variable oscillator and run it up to 10KHz before my current driving stage reaches its limit. I also flip the magnet over while the RYG10 is powered up and it then changes direction as soon as the magnet is back in its correct position.

[neonixie-l] Re: Finally completed my latest project...

I think I would also try to let it run on rechargeable batteries and make it portable. I roughly estimated you need about 5W for all chess pieces which is not all that much. It only needs to operate for a few hours and when pieces disappear from the board, it will draw less power. Michel On

[neonixie-l] Re: Finally completed my latest project...

The driver circuits aren't that efficient though, I'd estimate the nixies take about 10W and the board loses another 15W. If the edges were made wider it would be possible to fit enough mh cells in for maybe 2 hours or longer using Li. As it stands though it can be fed from an external 12v
