Considering all of the interest this unique display has generated within this group, has someone other than me thought about making a modern-day clone ? I'd prefer NE-2 bulbs, but LEDs are much more efficient and easier to drive. The extra column of dots on the right-hand side really makes

2019-06-18 Thread Bill Stanley
I promised to post some details on my current Nixie nightmare. I present: The BRS Clock The current version of the clock is in 2 (or more) PCBs. This was done to allow changes to the display type by only either changing the display board or the display cluster boards. The board can be

Hi Greg; I have a ongoing clock design where I separate the CPU from the display. The main CPU board uses a SiLabs 8051 class CPU with LOTS of features (some might be considered a bit crazy). The CPU generates all voltages (the 170 is adjustable under firmware for higher-voltage tubes. The

Hi Bill, Looking for direct drive clock that can also generate words since these tubes are alphanumeric. I have zero programming skills so hoping something will present itself. On Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 4:52:45 PM UTC-4, Bill Stanley wrote: > > Hi Greg; > > I have a ongoing clock design
