Two comments. First, I'd go with a 4 pin interface. I think there should be a ground and it would be nice to tie the resets together. You can do them independent but you have timing issues on power-up not knowing which processor is active first (although the displays take some time to initialize. On the subject of Nixies ... my other hobby is vintage radio, from the late teens until about 1940. While I still have a stash of Nixies, you really want tuning eye tubes on each of the CV outputs. The 1629 versions are still pretty plentiful as military NOS. It's also easier to punch the round holes for them in the panel. You think I'm kidding, don't you ... http://www.radioremembered.org/tuneye.htm Dave > ----- Original Message ----- > Actually, it appears (no pun intended) that the display will > require nothing more than a 2-pin interface on the main board > So, people will be free to design Nixie displays if they really > want to.
