 |
|
Hi,
for several weeks, I tried to build the Nixie Clock. My problem is that I don't get the 170 V at the testpoint. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is it possible that I won't measure the 170 V because the PIC isn't already running? |

Hi,
please check PIC BCD outputs to know if your pic is runnning,
check also voltage on pin RB6

Hi,
the whole PIC is not running. There is no voltage on RB6. The osc is also dead. What could be the problem? |

 verify the flash memory, check the configuration flags, the master clear pin

Which program is recommended to burn the PIC? Is there anyone out there who successfully built this project?
I downloaded the hex.-file from the page, but the PIC won't work with it. |

| I don't see no changes on RB0 and RB1. The oscilator doesn' work. The program is written on the PIC. Everything seems to be ok, but it won't work. |

I use a PIC 16F84A-20P. We also tried to get the high voltage to work on a seperate PCB with an external oszi. It doesn't work...
I'm not a professional. It's just a hobby. I can solder and I'm able to read read the circuit plans. But I have no idea how to get this stuff to run. |

about the pic : try a blinking led example test program, just to be sure your hardware & programmer are ok :

about the high voltage circuit : are you using a fast recovery diode ? a standard diode will not work.
