VLOG 168 what to do next? insight into a couple of ideas
Added 2020-11-24 13:13:26 +0000 UTCgunna be back on with a few builders livestreams over the coming week! first one will be Friday evening (UK time) I will post it a few hours in advance scheduling it. still up in the air what it will be, it may be one of the things in the vlog! or it could be exploring portamento circuits and messing about with them. thoughts?
also thoughts on the ideas in the vid!!! let me know if that counter has been done to death haha, cus the idea to me is quite interesting!

yeah!!!! tbh handles would be good to cut down the cost of running the Megadrone haha. (its not that bad, I had the Russian VFD clock on last month and wow that bumped up the electricity bill quite a lot!)

2020-11-26 17:06:13 +0000 UTCI like the counter idea, I could stand and watch things like that for ages. If you're using batteries anyway then why not make it even more interactive and allow people to contribute to satisfying its hunger for power by generating some juice as they stand and watch? A simple handle or something.

I have a few chips on the way, its pretty easy on those vfds' however I have completely gone off on a tangent on this counter thingy ha, as the the glasswork aah its all good. itll be in my jacket somewhere and will itch at somepoint hahaha

2020-11-24 22:57:02 +0000 UTCI got kinda worried hearing something glass as something came out at 0:44 as you rattled it! You can code up an EEPROM to handle the 7 segment decoding. You can have the shift register or other multiplexing methods to dump to the address lines of the EEPROM, and the EEPROM can perform the translation. I think there already exists ICs that can handle this decoding as well (the CD4511 i think?). No idea how this scales up to using these tubes though. Here is a link to Ben Eater's video about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLh1n2dErzE
