Software Features:
- Shield supports IN-14 Nixie tubes – 4 pcs.
- Date format: [DD:MM]; 12/24 hour format: [HH:MM].
- Full static display mode.
- Slot Machine (Anti poisoning – tubes saving function. Increases the service life).
- Temperature measurement [Celsius or Fahrenheit]. Digital temperature sensor (DS18B20, optional not included).
- GPS time synchronization (requires a standard GPS receiver, NMEA protocol, 5 V power supply, optional, choose in selector).
- Operation via IR remote control (Remote control Sony RM-X151, optional not included).
- Automatic information refreshing on the tubes.
- The maximum possible brightness of 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 segment failure.
Hardware Features:
- Highly Accurate RTC (Real Time Clock) DS3231SN with backup battery.
- Integrated high voltage power supply: 150 – 220V.
- High voltage adjusting potentiometer.
- 3 control buttons on board.
- 8 pcs RGB SMD LEDs.
- 3 PWM channels for RGB LEDs 8 bit per channel = 24bit = 16,7 million colors. It can be disabled in the menu (see manual).
- Internal buzzer.
- Test points for testing, adjusting and controlling low and high voltage circuits.
- Plug for optional external GPS receiver (only with Arduino Mega).
- IR receiver TSOP4836 for optional IR remote controllers (In case of using Arduino UNO, they may conflict with “Tone” library). If you plan to use remote control, we strongly recommend the using of Arduino MEGA – works fluently.
- 3 pin connector for optional Temperature sensor (DS18B20; 1-Wire protocol).
- SPI up to 4MHz.
- Places for 2 column with 2 neon dots (digits separator).
- Independent controls for upper and lower dots.
- Power consumption: 12V, 760mA. Recommended: 12 VDC, not less than 1A. Power supply connector dimensions: 5.5 x 2.1mm (center pin positive “+”).
- Reverse polarity protection.
- Nixie Tubes Shield NCS314 PCB size: 200mm x 53.34mm. (7.87 x 1.2 in)
Our Benefits:
- Easy to build beautiful clock – we also offer the case.
- Easy to customize firmware under Your own needs, thanks to an open platform – Arduino.
- Fast uploading via USB.
- The latest version of the firmware is always available on GitHub.
- No need for additional drivers – we are use only Genuine USB to serial converters. Drivers for them are pre-installed in all popular OS: Windows, MacOS, Linux.
- Human friendly menu.
- Very high quality product, made to lasts.
- Complete Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight, tubes and sound. Unique circumstantial tube test.
- Competent Technical support.
