Struggling to achieve desired result displaying belt t/put
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 11:55 pm
Hi there, so what i am trying to achieve is to have a set of nixie tubes display my belt throughput however i would like the display to only update once per second.
I have a circuit setup which reads the belt throughput over an average time period and outputs it to the nixie tube display and want to eradicate the glitchy effect of it updating every tick and i must be pretty close to getting it right but am just missing something. I have read and watched a lot of content trying to achieve this for 2 evenings but its driving me mad now. I have managed to output the indication for 1 tick out of every 60 and the part i can't solve is making that 1 tick signal hold until it receives it again. I'm hoping i can alter it so that perhaps it indicates the signalled throughput for 40 ticks and goes blank for 20, or that i can play with the settings to find a desired timing.
Can anyone help even if just to point me to a tutorial that can fill in the blank... ?
