www.ArduiNIX.com presents: ArduiNIX Nixie driver shield assembly The ArduiNIX shield is a user programmable platform for driving multiplexed Nixie tu...
Lets lay out your parts in an easily accessable and organized manner. We don't supply the solder station, but it would be very handy if you had someth...
D1 is the Fast Recovery Rectifier Diode. Make sure it goes in correctly, it may only be installed one direction. The band on one end shows you which s...
This little fellow is going to be helping us pick the correct parts to place on each step. Here he is holding up the 100uH Coil. The coil is one of t...
Thanks robot buddy. That's the large Capacitor we need next. C2 is a polarized 25Volt 470 uF Capacitor. The stripe on the side with the "-" signs in a...
Yessir, C1 is the smaller of the two polarized capacitors. C1 is a 350 Volt 1 uF Cap. Like C2, C1 must be oriented the correct way on the board.
Now we move on to C3. C3 is a component which varies from kit to kit. This capacitor controls the voltage range on your unit. The cap we supply may va...
Now we have C4. This cap works with C3 to control the voltage range. C4 is a 500volt 47pF capacitor. C4 may be installed either direction, polarity i...
Hey fellow, you're a swell guy for showing the folks the IRF 730 MOSFET Transistor! This power transistor must be installed correctly, with the metal...
This little fellow is lives at R19, he is the 1K Trim pot, which will allow us to tune our output anode voltage to the desired range for the Nixie tub...
This little tactile switch tells the Arduino to reset the entire unit. Howdy, S1. Welcome to the board.
Robo buddy here is showing you the NE555N Timer IC. It is the ticker that controls oscillation to the power end of the ArduiNIX. The timer IC, like a...
PROTIP: Use your multimeter to test your resistors to make sure they are installed in the right spots. Set the multimeter to resistance, then measure...
Carefully bend the leads on the resistors like this, so they fit on the board vertically. R1 - R4 are in a row, R5 is over by the Timer IC.
R6 - R9 are in a row similar to R1 - R4.
Pump that iron, robot! These are the 1/4 watt 470K resistors.
All resistors are vertically installed, making sure that markings are aligned for identification later if need be.
Woohoo! now for something completely different. MPSA92 Hi voltage transistors! Watch the orientation on these, make sure they match the diagram. If ...
Make sure you read the labels correctly on all transistors, don't mix them up! Also bend the leads on these transistors so they fit their holes on th...
Your kit will come supplied with Texas Instruments 74141 Driver chips or the Russian K155NA1 equivalent.. We highly recommend socketing your driver c...
The Pin headers we supply will be used to connect the ArduiNIX Shield to the top of the Arduino Board..Use the Arduino as a guide for placement and or...
The ArduiNIX kit does not include connector rails for the Cathodes. The way you connect your ArduiNIX Shield to your tubes is up to you. We prefer IDE...
Assemble the ArduiNIX Shield to the Arduino board, and check your work, solder welds, alignment and orientation of components. Now doublecheck. It's i...
