Nixie Clock on IN-8-2 Nixie Tubes
with glass Columns NE-2H inside

UPS Express delivery is recommended
Economy shipping slow and unreliable



Project “Divergence Meter” has modular system, so you can build clock with 6 [hours : minutes : seconds] tubes. For clock 6 tubes you need one MCU boards NCM109 and one Tubes board NCT482.

PCB design, schematic, housing and software made by GRA & AFCH.

Kit includes fully assembled board(s), MCU (microcontroller unit) ATmega328P flashed with Arduino Uno Bootloader and sketch (Firmware).

Kit compatible with Arduino Uno, so it allows you to write your own unique programs on the Arduino platform, the latest sources are always available on github at the "NixeClock" repository





Listing includes:

  • Nixie Tubes Clock (NCT482+NCM109 Boards)
  • IN-8-2 Nixie Tubes – 6 pcs Set (included with the Clock)
  • Columns with Dots – 2 pcs (included with the Clock)
  • Power Supply (12V, 1A) (US, EU, UK, AU) (optional AC plug, choose in selector)
  • User Manual on Vintage style paper

 

Columns with separating Dots are included with the Clock

Power Supply is optional for the Clock

 

Nixie Clock support usage of basic Accessory – Temperature sensor



Listing contains assembled boards, flashed microcontroller (ATmega328P),
Nixie Tubes, Columns, Temp. sensor and Power Supply



*The MCU board support a variety of tubes, such: ZM1042, Z522M, Z566M, Z5220M, ZM1040, Z5660M, B566M, LC-631, IN-14, IN-18, IN-12, IN-8, IN-7, IN-1, IN-2, IN-4, IN-8-2, IN-15, IN-16, IN-17 to use this tubes You need appropriate tubes PCB(s).

Our Benefits: 

  • All our Nixie Tubes Clocks are using HV513WG chips,
    it provides higher brightness in multiplexing mode in comparison with HV5812 chip and greater reliability compared to legacy K155ID1
  • We offer flexible Tubes Boards platform, that support many Nixie Tubes
    (out Tubes Boards designed for IN-4, IN-8, IN-8-2, IN-12, IN-14, IN-16, IN-17, IN-18 and Z573, Z5660M, ZM1042, Z568M Nixie Tubes)
  • It is easy to build a beautiful Nixie Tubes Clock with our Boards, we also offer Acrylic, Wooden and Stone Cases for our Clocks
  • Fast uploading pf the Firmware via USB to the Control Board
  • All the latest version of the Firmwares to all our Nixie Clocks are always available on our GitHub channel
  • No need for additional drivers, we are using only genuine USB-to-serial converters (FTDI),
    drivers for them are pre-installed in all popular OSes: Windows, MacOS, Linux
  • It is easy to modify the Nixie Clock’s Firmware functions for your tasks due to the open Arduino platform
  • We use High Quality PCBs and Components, also we use Japanese aluminum capacitors only for our Boards (Nichicon, Panasonic)
  • Tubes Board is easy to modify by cutting if you want to build 4 Tubes Clock [HH:MM] from 6 Tubes Clock
  • Our Nixie Boards use Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight flashing,Tubes flashing and Start up Tune. Our Boards use,
    Firmware version can be seen at the end of the POST test
  • Our Tubes Boards use Unique detailed Tube test – our soft test checks each Tubes segment on every Tube so it distinguishable to see segments failures
  • We provide competent technical support for all our products


Software Features:

  • Clock support many kinds of Nixie tubes (6 tubes [hh:mm:ss] format and 4 tubes [hh:mm]).
  • 12/24 hour format.
  • Date format: DD:MM:YY
  • Slote Machine (Ani poisoning)
  • Unique RGB LEDs backlight with 16,7 million colors.
  • Slote Machine (Ani poisoning)
  • Very easy to switch LEDS off/on.
  • As alarm sound clock uses standard RTTTL (Nokia format) melodies, so You can easy change it. (included songs: mission impossible, we wish you).
  • Easy updating firmware via USB using Arduino IDE.
  • Software based on Arduino sketch, so MCU has Arduino bootloader within.
  • Power On Self-Test (POST): LEDs test, tubes test, input voltage test, sound test.


Hardware Features:

  • Integrated High Voltage Power supply 150 – 220V.
  • ICSP connector for flashing Arduino Bootloader to blank MCU.
  • 3 PWM channels for RGB LEDs 8 bit per channel = 24bit = 16,7 million colors. It can be disabled in the menu (see manual).
  • Test points for testing, adjust and control low and high voltage circuits.
  • Pads for internal buttons and terminals for external buttons.
  • Pads for internal USB connector and terminals for external USB.
  • Terminals for internal and external power connector.
  • Terminals for external and internal buzzer.
  • 2 dots column with separate controls upper and lower dots.
  • Power consumption: 11-14V, 360mA (Recommended power source: voltage 12V, current 1-2A).
  • MCU board NCM107 has world smallest size: 100mmx50mm.
  • Tubes board NCT482 size: 200mmx50mm.
