Hi,
I wondered if anyone could give any advice.
I'm currently making a Nixie clock and as some may know they run a quite a high voltage (170vdc).
I'm making it from a 'kit' so everything is supplied.
The build instructions are here http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/kits/qtcplus/QtcPlusV3.pdf
I've made up the low voltage part and tested and got the correct voltage, then made up the high voltage part and dont get any more than about 11.4v from it.
I've emailed the suppliers and they actually replied straight away on boxing day! Just asked for some voltage readings and photos and had nothing since (I assume they'll get back to me after the new year, hopefully!).
But is there anything else I can try/test in the meantime? The wiring diagrams and troubleshooting they gave are at the end of the PDF linked above.
I've triple checked orientation of diodes and capacitors and that the resistors are the correct value. Along with checking all the soldered joints for any sort of bleed between the points or poorly soldered points but cant see anything!
Cheers for any help.
Mark
