I designed a Nixie Clock using IN-14 tubes and all through-hole components to make an easy kit. Check out a video of it here You can find the schematics, PCBs, code for it here: http://www.github.com/profdc9/NixieClock It shows time, date, temperature, and humidity. Enjoy! |

does it sync to NTP over wifi or wired ethernet? (and how does temp/RH get into the device) what is the lifetime of nixie-tubes - years I would hope ::) upgrading the schematics from kicad 4 to latest kicad 5 might help others work with your design.. |

It doesn't sync to NTP, but I have a connector on it for a GPS module to get the time. I haven't implemented it yet though. It uses the DHT22 module for temperature and humidity and a DS3231 for a RTC. I use the Nixie tubes at a fairly conservative current, but since I haven't run it for a long time I'm not sure how long it will last, but it should be years I need to update the projects from v4 to v5, just haven't done it yet, because v4 works well for my purposes. The only change needed should just be to swap some library symbols and footprints to newer versions in the v5 library. Dan |

Nice work. I am nostalgic about these. When I started electronics, much of the test equipment was nixie based. I keep telling myself to get a nixie clock but I don't know if I want to build it or buy it. There are arguments for each option. |

I love Nixies and all of the vintage glow displays, Dekatrons, neon lamps, bargraphs... Have you implemented a routine to prevent the cathode poisoning? |
