Software Features:

• 6 digits IN-14 Nixie tubes [hh:mm:ss].
• 12/24 hour format.
• Date format: DD:MM:YY.
• Full static display mode. The maximum possible brightness of the tubes.
• Slot Machine (Anti poisoning – tubes saving function. Increases the service life).
• Temperature display [Celsius or Fahrenheit] (optional, choose in selector)
• GPS time synchronization (requires a standard GPS receiver, NMEA protocol, 5 V power supply, optional, choose in selector)
• IR remote controls (Remote control model Sony RM-X151/RM-X153, optional, choose in selector). IR protocol SIRC or any protocol if you able to implement it.
• Automatic update information on the tubes.
• Unique RGB LED backlight with 16,7 million colors.
• Your can choose any constant color off backlight LED and memorize it. Or you have option for a cyclic full spectrum color change!
• Switching on/off LED backlight in the matter of seconds.
• 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.
• Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight, tubes and sound. You can check firmware version at the end. Unique detailed tube test – our soft check each segment on every lamp. Distinguishable to see segement failure.

Hardware Features:

• Integrated adjustable High Voltage Power supply: 150 – 220 V.
• 3 PWM channels for RGB LEDs 8 bit per channel = 24bit = 16,7 million colors.
• Test points for testing, adjusting and controlling low and high voltage circuits.
• Internal buzzer.
• Highly Accurate RTC (Real Time Clock) DS3231SN with Backup battery.
• 3 buttons on board to control.
• IR reciver TSOP4836 for IR remote controllers (In case of using Arduino UNO, they may conflict with “Tone” library). If you plan to use remote controll, we strongly recommend the using of Arduino MEGA – works fluently.
