Driving two Nixie tubes with an Arduino via a shift register and two SN74141s

Leave a Comment / Development Board – Kits Project Ideas / By

Nixie tubes are really cool looking and are becoming quite popular for their ‘retro’ look. Although there are a number of tutorials out there on using nixie tubes and some nice pre-packaged units (see these nice ones from ogi lumenand ArduiNIX) I hadn’t seen a simple tutorial on running them using a shift register like the SN74HC595. …

Arduino Prototyping Shield on the cheap

Leave a Comment / Development Board – Kits Project Ideas, Ideas / By

Breadboards are very handy, but sometimes I just want to connect one IC or some LEDs and resistors to the controller. My simple solution was to canibalize a cheap Breadboard to get two expandable PrototypingShields with some additional features. What I used: Breadboard (~3$) 2 Pieces of Veroboard (<1$) 28 PinHeader (<1$) 28 femaleConnectors (<1$) …
