I appear to be going backward.
I am trying to use a transistor to turn on the decimal point in a nixie tube. I have a 170 V power source connected to the anode of the tube. The current required to light up a digit is much greater than the maximum current allowed for the decimal point. The power to the base of the transistor will be coming from an output pin of a raspberry pi.
Whats wrong with the trimmers? I realize that the actual trimmers will have three pins, but this is just a simple symbol from diptrace.
