Thanks! The Teensy has a USB port. You can send timing info there. Someone may want to write that code. I have no strong inclination to make it super-accurate, because it's just a table clock. It uses a DS3232 RTC chip. When I need to know what time it is with picosecond accuracy, I consult one of

I have a 2 digit design - though I don't see it fitting in to a light bulb! If I want ed to make something really small then I'd look at the people making watches and use their electronics. My 2 tube clock is better suited to Z566/IN-18 sized tubes. In fact I have used the same hardware to drive

[neonixie-l] 2 digit Nixie clock design

Hi, I wonder if anybody knows of a 2 digit Nixie clock or kit? About 10 years ago I made a 2 digit clock housed in a standard UK light bulb for on of my brothers. I purchased programmed pics from "Fixitsan" of Smartclock fame. I would realy like to recreate this clock, but can't seem to find

Text to these photographs got a little lost: Since Hivac was a British company, these display tubes could have been for use with the old British £sd currency, which was in use until 1972. Here there were 12 pennies to 1 shilling, and 20 shillings to 1 pound. See Comptometer photos On Saturday,
