[neonixie-l] Re: arduino driven clock
I'd reccomend a numtron, they are the simplest kind of vintage display, essentially just 7 or 8 bulbs in one glass tube. A single digit version ought to be simple to build, do a google. If your not writing the code a multiplexed display is simpler to build. You can still get 74141's on ebay, my designs use a 4017, its a 1 of 10 decoder and only needs 2 wires back to the microcontroller. If you can solder then you can do it.

[neonixie-l] Re: arduino driven clock
Thanks Sean and also to all that replied. Sean, this looks pretty much like what I'm looking for . What would be the cost of the kit ? Also, how hard would it be to use 16 segments nixie instead ? I would love to have the clock display a special message at specific date, as Im building this as a present for my kids.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: arduino driven clock
Hi David, I'm looking to offer the kit for $75 + $10 s/h within the U.S. It will be a project offered on Kickstarter. If you like, I'll put you on my list of people to notify. There is are very few 16 segment nixies, one of the only ones I know of is the B7971 (15 segment), which is rare and expensive (~$80 - $100 per tube, but others on this list probably have an idea of the exact price.) My clock isn't designed for nixies ... nixies require different drivers and a high voltage power supply, and of course have a different part footprint. If you want a nice looking 16 or 14 segment display, I suggest looking into VFD displays, either the IV-17 or IV-21 or similar. For a VFD display you also need a very different power source. Numitrons are easy because they run on 4.5VDC and can be driven with a standard constant-current LED driver. VFDs require a supply that can output both filament and anode voltages.
