Arduino 6-Digit "All In One" IN-14 Nixie Clock with Removable Tubes This is a simple to build kit based on Arduino (Atmel ATMega micro controller), packed full of features and able to drive 6 IN-14 tubes. You don't need to own an Arduino to use this kit! It is self contained and runs without an external Arduino board. The tubes are mounted on small PCBs and you can quickly and easily change a broken or defective tube, or try out other tubes. The PCB is small (15cm x 5cm), needs no extra heat management. All of the parts, except for the front panel components (switch and LDR) are mounted on the PCB. What you get:
Please see the User Manual and Kit Instructions. If you have any questions, contact us using the address in the manual, or via Ebay! For full details and the the construction manual, please see: Instruction Manual The clock a battery backed real time clock module (readily available on Ebay), accurate to 1 second per month, or a Wifi time provider module (available here). The Wifi module accesses a WiFi network (using an SSID and password) and gets the current time, meaning you never ever have to set the clock, even after changes in Daylight Savings Time! The clock is always right and will never be more than 1 second out! The WiFi module is available in the listing for the WifiTimeModule. Easy Build All components are through hole (easy assembly, no special tools required). The component count is low, and the step by step instructions take you through the build process, explaining each step in detail (e.g. how to know which way round the components go, what to test, trouble shooting tips and common errors are also included). The construction time for someone with average soldering skills: around 2 hours. All tests can be done with a standard multimeter. For full details and the the construction manual, please see: Instruction Manual Features:
Open Source The clock software is open source, using an Atmel micro-controller as used in the Arduino. The program can be changed in the Arduino IDE, and uploaded using a standard programmer, or using an Arduino UNO. You don't have to do this if you don't want to: The chip comes pre-programmed! The code is on GitHub. Optional Components Instead of the RTC (Real Time Clock) module, you can buy an IoT internet connected time provider. You will never need to set the clock again. It connects to your home WiFi and gets the atomic time from an Internet server. You can purchase the optional modules here. Shipping All packages are sent via tracked priority shipping. Economy shipping is no longer available due to repeated delivery problems. Please also see other shipping options and modules. |
