Hi I know a lot of people here have assembled kits or build there own clock. For driving nixies there are not too many different ways. Since im more "builder" than "programmer" i want to make a firmware thats really good, and use the same firmware for all my future clock projects, so i don't need to make a new code for each project and only need to change pin definitions or values! Of course, i want to share that firmware along with my schematic! Link to my current board! <http://swissnixie.com/index.php?go=sunixs>
I just wanna ask what people would like to have in a firmware option! Imagine you have a nixie clock with 6 Tubes (each has 10 digits) and 2 colon separators (each can be driven alone). For the settings there is a rotary encoder. The Anodes are fixed (no anode pwm). *What options would should there be?*List of current features: - Different Cycle (Anti-Poisioning-Routinge) choices (each minute, each 10minute, each hr, off) - Cycle speed (1-99%) 1%= cycling around 5 seconds (very long!) - Numbers of cycle (1-10) - AM/PM Mode ( 24hr, 12hr, 12hr with indication with the separators) - colon separator options (left on, right on, both on, both of, blink each second, overwrite AM/PM indication) - time-setting via Serial - LED brightness - LED colors (16 different) - Automatic Daylight Saving change* (on off) (and menu to set start/end date) This works by setting the time over serial, the date when the time was set, will be saved into eeprom. On reset, it will check if the date was in daylight saving time or not, and checks if today's date is in daylight saving time or not, and then will react by change the time by +1 or -1. - GPS sync (on/off) (if receiver connected). - Manual time setting (hh:mm, s = 00 when pressing save) - Date display by a single button push. Any ideas? :) Thanks - Jonathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
