EasNixy, a $19.00 Arduino-based Nixy tube driver, aims to resolve the challenges associated with working with Nixy tubes. Designed and engineered by Aleksei Karavaev, this device, adorably named EasyNixie, is touted by him as 'a simpler and safer way to drive Nixies'. In a recent...

Most vacuum tubes need about 6.3V high supply plus filament voltage to operate. Running at 3.3V inclusively of the filament voltage, the new vacuum tube amplifier from Albert van Dalen has proven it possible to have one with the capacity to operate on an entirely low power supply...

Karlwoodward @ www.rs-online.com/designspark is in the process of designing a “guitar pedal” for amplification and distortion using the Korg Nutube we featured earlier. The Part 1 of a series of articles goes through the basic aspects of tubes and valves, the pros and cons on using...

A new vacuum tube which puts vacuum fluorescent display technology to practical use is in distribution from RS Components. Nutube, similar to a conventional vacuum tube, has an anode grid filament structure, and operates exactly as a triode vacuum tube. Also similar to a vacuum tube,...

wouterdevinck @ instructables.com writes: There are a lot of nixie clocks out there and a lot of them are based on the IN-14 tubes. I wanted to design my own for the sake of designing my own, but also had some specific requirements: Make it as small and thin as possible. A lot of the...

Robin @ kickstarter.com launched his new campaign on a project using IN-9 Nixie tubes. Now you can easily control two IN-9 Nixie bargraph tubes with 2 PWM inputs from your Arduino, Raspberry or other control board. The tubes are controlled by PWM signals and adjusting the PWM duty...

by weirdlab.fr: I “rebuild” my Geiger counter, the SBM-20 tube was initially inside the box, i have put this one inside a 32mm diam plastic tube, for more convenience, wired through a XLR3 cable. This counter is from “Electronique-Pratique” n°368, a french electronic...

by christian.ich.7 @ instructables.com: The Target of this Project was to learn how to use different functions of the atmega: • Connecting two Atmegas with a wireless connection • Each Atmega has a Thermometer (DS1621) to read the actual temperature • Use the sleep Mode...
