Firstly, hello to the new members. You should feel free to poke about in the files sections and post messages about any questions you may have, we're all here...
... Hi Andrew, I have not tested your PIC yet. I started to design a board, but your choice of ports makes a single-sided etched board fiendish to lay out. I...

Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the smartsockets group. File : /IV-17...
... OK I just uploaded a tentative and incomplete s/s Smartsocket IV-17 board layout I have been working on, as a PDF. As you can see, there are lots of links...
... Thanks John. It occurred to me that an ideal solution will be difficult to find because we all have preferences. Having a large number of links is not...
The new IV-17 socket code is coming along nicely and should be ready soon.... Changes from previous versions are: a) Introduction of an output pin remapping...
I have aquired bunch of Phillips made ZM1000 tubes. Since I have no clue of their quality I need to test them. I am looking for suggestions on how to build...
Hi Chris, I have nearly finished a Smartsocket-Display with 12x ZM-1350. During this I encountered 2 Problems: The enumeration of the smartsocke usually fails...
Thanks for your comments Roger, it is nice to hear some feedback. Your powerdown issue may have something to do with your power supply. Have you measured the...
Hi Chris, I just checked my power supply for how long it holds the voltage after switching off. Voltage is down to zero after about 1...2 seconds, so this...

I'm glad you've resolved the enumeration failure issue. that was a piece of trouble to get working originally. For MCLR, I wasn't aware that the 16F690 had an...
... That would be nice, because I have a dozen IV-17 lying around for some time and waiting for the new smartsockets dedicated to them :-) The effort of wiring...
Same here. I think I have a couple dozen just waiting for a fixitsan kit. :) Michail In a message dated 9/28/2010 7:15:15 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, ...
The current position is that the sockets are up and running. I have only made one socket so far and will need to assemble another on breadboard to make sure...
Hi Chris, A solution for the decimal point drivers could be using a UDN2981 or UDN 2982/2 instead of a bunch of transistors and resistors. These are octal...
... Hi Roger, Because the tubes are multiplexed then I only need two decimal point switches to control all 8 DP's. My previous DP switch actually shorted them...
... I just remembered that i posted this on Youtube, Roger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeQWgSccD6Q Showing the DP's being controlled by shorting them to...
Hi Chris, ... Stupid me. Had forgotten that the tubes are multiplexed. ... Sure. If a software solution doesn't work there is always the possibility of a...
Recently I was looking through a local antique warehouse when I spotted the glint of glass in an old cardboard box on a shelf in one of the booths. Sure enough...
Did you sell me the tubes outside of ebay? I got 12 tubes here, and they are all wrapped in newspaper from 1971/72. I paid a lot more than $1.50 each though....
... At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to answer your question because I threw out the musty old box and paper, but each tube has a sticker on the...
... I'm glad I didn't know what they were when I bought them or how many were in the box. He didn't know what he was selling and I didn't know what I was...
No, you are on the right list now. No one things you're strange. We all are. The only thing people think right now is how jealous they are of you getting...
