Re: meter clock project
Maybe I am referring to one of the Forbes ! The EPUT was an old tube device by Beckman I think. Was a big rack-mount thing with neon lamps behind a mask, or later interfaced this to nixies.

Re: meter clock project
Unless you're referring to the nixie display, I never had a tube-based counter. The unit, which I still have, is an H-P 5221B "Universal Counter" that can measure frequency or simply count pulses (I

Re: PIcaxe 08M to 74141 problem
Hi Shane, I think that your problem is most likely one of two things: 1) Something is wrong with your output routine for pin 4. Different microcontrollers will have different pin setups. Read through

Re: PIcaxe 08M to 74141 problem
I added a LED from pin 4 to ground to test the circuit. 8 and 9 now work, so i suspect the Picaxe I am using is supplying an overvoltage, about 2.3V too much. Anyone care to confirm? Shane

Re: meter clock project
Those types of counters do exist, and go way back to the nixie days. I got one. Its a CMC (not near it, so I don't have the model number), and its a 'universal' counter, that does frequency, period,

Re: meter clock project
For me it's just the fun to use discrete components and to avoid software (may be the difference between you and me ;-) ). To me a ?P in a nixie or meter clock is the same as a quartz or DCF clocwork

PIcaxe 08M to 74141 problem
I had a working one tube counter, a simple 0-9. I was using the Basic Stamp board. I moved to a Picaxe 08M, and now, it won't count past 7. I goes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, dark, dark, 0,1,2,3,4... Anyone have
