Potentially stupid question about Numitron tubes

-

...can use max7219 drive 'em? i've been perving on iv-9's , looking @ voltage/current requirements, doesn't seem million miles away led need, long current set resistor chosen (i have lookup table). fancy quirky, interesting display play with, , it'd handy if can drive them parts own.

i have bcd 7seg logic chips dozen too, fewer parts have use, better. also, there recommended socket/retainer type people use these things, save me potentially buying wrong ones , being stuck them? see have long leads rather fat "valve" pins on bottom.

the "numitron" tube developed rca in 60's or 70's low voltage replacement "nixie". uses 20 volts on digit anodes (works @ 12 v.. in direct experience) has filament tat must powered (1.5 - 6 volts @ 100 - 500ma) depends on spec part. not familiar russian iv series principles same... take great deal of work interface max7219. used cd4017's decade counters , drove digit anodes 2n3906's 1 of 10 outputs of cd4017. actual details somewhat... did thing in 20's , 66 years old now. point there 1 wire each "number/value' , not done 7 segment decoder/driver '7219. supply voltages different (the cd series had max voltage of 18v , spec'd @ 15 volts, making them great choice decade counters... in similar project used 7442's (bcd decimal) , mux'd them, 8 data lines 4 digit data , 4 addressing digit counter/latch. old school , questionable here except beginning interfacing iv series of displays

Thread: PKI Client 5.00 install (for eToken Pro)

-
my company uses aladdin etoken pro authentication on vpn connections. etoken requires pki client application on client machine before os recognize it. app , token work fine on xp, use ubuntu on laptop. aladdin has offered linux version of client, rpm. convinced our internal guys rpms, , i've been trying work couple days. begin with, hp pavilion dv4-1435dx laptop running jaunty 64-bit. - started out converting .rpm .deb using alien: code: sudo alien -d pkiclient-5.00.28-0.x86_64.rpm - worked fine , got nice little .deb - next, ran .deb install client: code: sudo dpkg -i pkiclient_5.00.28-1_amd64.deb - , executed without errors/issues. pdf rpm said there should launcher @ applications > etoken > start etoken pki client, didn't exist. figured might because installed deb instead of rpm. bounced box, still wasn't there. no big deal... - install network manager can configure vpn connection use token: code: sudo aptit...

ATmega2560-Arduino Pin Mapping

-
hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table. ( hope ;-) ) i post here tab separated table : code: [select] arduino mega 2560 pin mapping table atmega 2560 pin out arduino mega function nr name function function function mapped pin name function function datasheet 1 pg5 oc0b digital pin 04 pwm 2 pe0 rxd0 pcint8 digital pin 00 rx0 (usart0 receive pin, programming data input or pin change interrupt 8) 3 pe1 txd0 digital pin 01 tx0 (usart0 transmit pin or programming data output) 4 pe2 xck0 ain0 (usart0 external clock  input/output) 5 pe3 oc3a ain1 digital pin 05 pwm 6 pe4 ...

listen to event

-
i have class extend nothing, possible have class listening events? i found no way this, unless pass object(like displayobject) constructor. quote: public class myclass{ public myclass(){ addeventlistener(event.enter_frame, onenterframe); } private function onenterframe(event:event):void{...} } thankyou hi, you can have class listen events produced other classes, if want own class generate events, need extend eventdispatcher class. btw, displayobject , it's descendants can produce enterframe event.
