Ok, I'm waiting on my mentor to give me the product key for autocad and I will start working on a model. In inventor, since the trial does not give access to it.

Today one of our mentors gave me 6x 12" Cold Cathodes never opened from 2007's game, since we were cleaning out the shop/redoing it.

I was wondering how I can control these with an arduino/ how much this would affect battery life (one thing I haven't even thought about) Lets say I had 4-6x AA batteries powering this robot. Would it even be possible?


Also, what the heck do the little black boxes that the cathodes plug into do? I assume ground and 12v?

I've also got some plywood for testing the prototype on, and some plexi to mount the final product on.
