Got it running off a 10000 mAh battery bank at 5 vdc. Connected to a tab3 with Windows Remote desktop client for display and keyboard/mouse usage. Using juice ssh app to secure shell also. Pretty neat stuff.

Here it is generating 128 vdc. Lighting a Russian In-2 nixie tube.

I bought a kit online for a nixie power supply with all soldering required. Here she is in all her glory! Also needed more light so i whipped up this expedient bench light running off 12 volts DC. And a close up of the nixie’s i am currently expirementing on. Stay tuned…

Finally got a pi zero in my hands. Wow, it is small. A picture of pi zero on top of raspberry pi 3. Texas Instruments shift registers so i can talk from Raspberry pi to the nixie tubes with less gpio pins used. Next up will be construction photos and progress. Stay tuned.

First nixie test fire!

Yukon gold from my front yard garden with no pesticides used. Not a huge haul but i only planted one pound of seed potatoes in fabric bags. A little disappointed in the yield but will still be yummy to eat.
