Numitron iv-9 testing program using 4 shift registers and Arduino Uno

thingiverse

Testing Application for Diagnosing Numitron IV-9 Tubes. Utilizes 4 Shift Registers and Arduino Uno. According to Documentation, the First IV-9 Leg is Common, Second is Indication Dot. You Must Connect Common (First) to GND Then Every Single Leg to Outputs of Your Shift Register One by One. Use This Tutorial for Connecting Shift Registers to Arduino: https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/ShiftOut and Remember to Use Caps for the Nice Flicker-Less Experience. Use 0.1pf Caps Between VCC and GND as a Decoupling Cap - Extremely Important for Debugging, Strange Things May Happen If You Ignore This Step. Also, Use Something More Capable Than 595 Shift Registers - They Might Work But Also Might Fail Horribly Killing Your Numitron or Arduino or PC.
