Way cool. I'm guessing it no longer runs off a USB port. On Jan 24, 8:02 pm, Jon wrote: > As some of you know, a few years ago I made a little numitron clock > using IV-9 and IV-16 tubes hooked up to run off a USB port. Dinky > little thing. > > So it felt like time to think about something bigge

I have my latest prototype of the radio controlled IN1 nixie/ IV9 bargraph/ OG3 dekatron clock working. It syncs to the npl time signal fine, and does error checking every minute, you can adjust the time on a single button if theres no signal, it keeps time on its own too if required. Heres some na

I'll run a search for them then. I didnt really have much look here in the uk for a crystal oven, but I did find a good webpage for a project oven, only simple maths and very stable results. I dont really have a desperate need for such a thing, its just an interest, I've outgrown decoding time sign

Thanks all for the kind comments - glad you liked it. :) I'll follow up off-list with those who expressed an interest in the kit. Unfortunately it's definitely going to be at the expensive end of the scale. But then if you stop and think - 42 nixies and sockets, 9 circuit boards, custom enclosure

David- Although I'm still a neophyte here also, I have built an Arduinix and recommend it as a good kit to learn with. If you go to the site that was posted, you can download the Arduino code for it to get an idea of how it works. I have also been using an Arduino on its own to do my own testing
