I recently acquired a few Nixie Tubes, which are old Russian numeric displays. I built a first prototype to see if my method of using a decade counter with switching transistors would work. One thing about these tubes is that they require high voltages, I am running them at around 110V DC in the video below. Hopefully I will post more details on this project in the future.

LEDs Blinking to Music, an old High School Project
A while back I was experimenting with getting LEDs to work with music. At the time I didn’t want to make a complex colour organ, so I instead found a method using a few transistors. Once the project was done I created an instructable, since I had used the site for a lot of inspiration before. http://www.instructables.com/id/Blinking-LEDs-to-Music .
