...should also have pointed at the topic list:



...and also to point out that I have absolutely no desire to run this on my own, or even at all - the group was created 6 years ago in case it was needed - it updates automatically from Yahoo every few minutes, and is otherwise pretty much as per here.

The files section has not been moved, but that could be done reasonably easily... (I think!).

As I mentioned, others have done similar things - the Google groups are pretty much identical in format & facilities to the Yahoo ones, without the c**p. They are also free in terms of resource and onus on us, the users.

Cheers

Already there and has this year's neonixie-l messages already - surprisingly, its been called ... neonixie-l

I have been quietly automatically shadowing neonixie-l since January at: - anyone can join (subject to the usual caveats to prevent spamming).

Others have done similar. AJ - If you want the Google Group, you are welcome...

Is that flat 7-segment tube the neo5000? I have a few and I've
been trying to identify them for a while. Do you know where I
can find any data sheets on these?

yes !that is a NEO5000 the neo8000 is larger<snip>

Okay so that is their number :)
I have had one of each of NEO5000 /8000 for some years without really
bothering too locate specs/numbers...
Nice to know what they are.

Mine are not 100% identical with the pics, though.. Hmmm... My "NEO5000"
does not have that cirlcle in the upper left corner..
And has following printed on the back side : "IEE NEO5 PG150-27"

My "NEO8000" Doesn't have the two dark rings in the segment nor the upper
left ring... no printing anywhere..

Otherwise they're identical..

I will see I can upload pictures of them..

I was just looking back over this topic again and notice something I hadn't before, that Dan Burer's "NEO-5000" style devices are marked as being made by IEE (Industrial Electronic Engineers), of projection indicator and NIMO tube fame.

So, we now have at least two and possibly three different makers of the NEO-xxxx indicators. I guess three, based on my datasheet (of unknown origin) listing all dimensions in millimeters, while my IEE NIMO tube datasheets give them in inches -- plus Matsushita having entirely different part numbers for their versions.

The new interface went away...hmmm.....

But it is likely it will return. yahoo is good at screwing things up.

Dave,

Thank you very much for the compliment, though I'm not nearly in the same league as John Aaron.

I just came across some old info in my files that Matsushita made
equivalents of the NEO-5000 and NEO-8000, their part numbers S6135
(50 mm digit height) and S6136 (85 mm digit height) respectively.
Perhaps this is what you have.

I wish I knew how to tell them apart. None of them are marked very well but based on what I've read on this thread, it sounds probable that there were multiple manufacturers. Do you know of the Matsushita digits were also called NEO XXXX ?

I'm not sure but I wouldn't think so. The only maker's mark I could find on the "real" (?) ones was "Y.S."

Here's the new group I just created for nixie lovers. If someone more experienced wants to takeover, just let me know:

I had posted this as its own thread, but it's not showing up...

This is a mess all right. You've done a good job AJ. So what did happen to the
backup any way?

I can provide physical hosting on the Sun in my garage (5mbit upstream), if
that is of use to anyone at all.

I can see I won't be participating in too many Yahoo groups with this format (I currently subscribe to about 20!). This is really bad!!

TubeClockDB.com has partnered with NixieKits.EU and we are giving away a nice IN-12 nixie kit.

Enter here:


Review of the clock here:

Do you know if there is anyone out there I can hire to program your hex code onto a controller chip for me? (I'm a Mac guy...)

I'll do it for free. I'm a Mac guy too. Lack of Mac support and undocumented interfaces is why I left PIC for AVR.

Here ya go: If anyone more experienced with all things nixie wants to take the reigns, just let me know.

Thanks threeneurons. I hadn't thought about the accuracy issue. I am using GPS to set the time which also increases every second. But I still need accuracy in case it's not connected. It's probably best I go back to finding a good cap/crystal combo instead of a resonator.

Thanks for the info on the muxing. That's a huge help.

Wait, one more--dedicated to a very slick-looking Nixie Tube clock (which may be something else besides a clock?) Very cool looking though:

Check that--there's one group with one member:

The home page says that the owner is planning one--but of course there's nothing to prevent someone from this forum from starting our own. I'd volunteer, but I'm a newbie and have yet to complete my first clock. (But I'm almost done!)

How about a Google group? Doing a quick search, there are lots of other electronics related lists referring to nixies but none dedicated to them that I've found. I like the google interface--it's clean and intuitive.

Yahoo, in their infinite idiocy, have once again foisted upon us a new
"upgrade", without warning and without asking whether we wanted it. This new
UI/skin or whatever they're calling it is a total crapfest. This was the
last straw, so I am no longer going to be running this group on Yahoo. Owner
Ray is once again MIA, having been in the "Bouncing" email list for over 3
months, so I don't expect him to take over anytime soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that despite being mostly a lurker. This list
is/was a wonderful place to learn.

I can provide resources in my dreamhost account to host a new list /
files / etc. Currently I'm a bit tight with free time but we can try
to import the messages in mailman. What happened to the manual backup
of the group ?

cheers.
