A fine project and using I2C adds a lot of interest. I had an early calculator that displayed hex digits well enough. Octal works with the tubes of course :).
Hey man! I just want to say I really enjoy your style of videos and the way you cover so many topics on your channel. Thank you for the wonderful content!
Ha, I never saw that in practice, but it kinda makes sense, 1 being the digit with least surface area and thus the current distributed over it would mean higher current at any spot. I'll keep that in mind and maybe do some experiments with different nixies. I think the distance from anode to cathode may also be a factor, but I'm not that sure.
It would be cool if there was a hex nixie, 0 - F. Of course it'd be a hassle to get 16 elements in one tube. So maybe a hybrid 7 segment nixie with letters A - F. That could be done with 5 layers in the tube, 1 for 7 segment display, and 4 for the letters. I've seen simulated nixie clocks with the little OLED displays that look pretty convincing. Yea, thats the ticket, fake OLED hex nixies! I give these ideas away for free all day! You're welcome!

Nice looking Tubes 😀
Cute IMSAI Dog! Lovely board. Keep'em counting :)
A very cool and interesting project 👍
Pro tip: Put a resistor in series with the "1" cathode to make it even brightness with the other digits.
Nice project though!

@@KeritechElectronics Exactly that's the reason. I built a Nixie clock ages ago, and used that technique to equal out brightnesses. Works a treat.
I like to see how the U14 will be put in. Maybe with the legs folded backwards.
well I could do that, but I'm just going to spin it end to end.
Oh this is turning out to be really cool! 73 - Dino KLØS

That's cool.
That’s acute project 😅
ImsaiDude certainly is **not** obtuse...............
Both acute and a cute :)
make the nixie tube smaller sir because watches tv youtube channel like it
