Yes, someone sent me some pics of that watch some time ago. I got them here under a folder named "Badass nixie watch" :-)
Programming that for the Metro last light game is cool, turning it into a real watch would be even cooler!

Hi Bill,
I agree with David on this that it is a bit of a strange approach to realize your pendulum routine. The velocity on the outer left and right hand side is 0 so that would result in a very large timer value. However, if you say your numbers based on adding something * 50 gives you a

"The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" is the main reason I haven't thrown out my VCR yet. Not that I play that tape on a daily (or even annual) bases, but I know without a VCR I can't play the original tape anymore :-).
I would feel a bit anxious to leave a wooden clock switched on for say 24 hrs/day, especially if it is not my own design. Just worried it would catch fire at a moment I am asleep or not there. Is that just me or do other people have that same worry?
I quite like the design though, not an immediate
yes, but how about after 5 or 10 years and say 100 clocks. It's still wood and as we all know, electronic parts that fail can get very hot.

Very nice, would be cool to merge the 2 clocks into 1 and somehow display messages onto the VFD (through SMS, facebook, twitter or .).
Eeberfest used to have a setup similar to that http://eeberfest.net/index.phpbut it's no longer online for quite a while now.

Hi Grahame,
I don't know if this is of any help but if you want to go for the $1 solution I assume you like to test things with parts you already have lying around. I was thinking, you could use 2 optocouplers in series so that each carries 1kV. The only "problem" is that you need to have a power
Nice. At that time, I thought it would be "safer" to use the MOS driver rather than a controller output. It was for a 2 phase unipolar stepper motor, a big one, 10A per winding maximum current and up to 200V per winding (100V each side of the center tap). I never actually tried to do without the
The inductor is a Coilcraft MSD-1278-224 this is a 220uH SEPIC choke with dual coils. In my application the coils are connected in series. The FET drain is connected to one end of the pair, the other end to the rectifier, and 12VDC comes in at the junction. With this arrangement the FET only
Put a nail in the socket :-). I guess in USA it's less likely you end up with a toe tag than in Europe, but still, just the thought of putting that into the "fault finding" procedures..

Hi Guys,I found some more info about an older style nixie tube batch counter, unfortunately nothing about the even older dekatron counter. However, this one is quite interesting as it is an all transistor counter and some of you might want to have a look how that was done before the IC era.
Yes, the -24V bias is a bit of a puzzle. I think the idea was that if 1 of the transistor conducts, the other one is guaranteed to be not conducting. There would still be a Vsat voltage over the conducting transistor that might be just high enough to bring the other one in a partially conducting
That is quite surprising, using 2,000 tubes and only have about 70 rejects. I got 20 rejects already but made less than 100 watches. One of the issues that plays a role in my watch and not in your watch is that the tubes also need to work on a lower brightness/average current. Some tubes ionize
Hi Michail,
All info can be found on my facebook page: http://facebook.com/NixieWatch
You can also see the proto-type of the new "Mi Esposita" solar powered design there.
You're a bit unfortunate as I have just sold the last one this morning, but maybe I still have enough parts laying around to
Same form factor as 1364.
That is a jaw dropping claim. It is like 6 times more power than the 1364! I'd like to see a picture of that one.
The 1363/64 are nice units but at a half load they do tend to make quite some audible noise, which is a bit annoying. I swapped mine with a simple NE555 HV
That is a neat kit. I like the ambient sound setting, it does indeed mimik the magic eye quite well (and uses less power :-) ). What music you got there, sounds like the pogues, or not?

Hi Aaron,I don't know for how long that module is around, quite a while I think (at least 1 year). There's also the 1364 which has the same performance but different type of board. It's hard to beat a price like that with your own design.I ended up making a daughter board for the 555 HV supply

Well, I mean the envelope is still glass but only the inner works are 3D printed. I had a quick search on google after my post and there is actually quite a development going on in electrically conductive 3D printing technology. Some claim "low cost" but not sure if that would be good enough to
significantly simplify the process of making your own nixie tubes.

Hi Tim,Not that I want to influence your design but it sounds a bit odd to have the nixies go from 0 to 63 in a valve (pre)amplifier. It is really related to something digital that IMHO doesn't really match a design of a valve amplifier. I think it is nicer if it would go from 0 to 99. If you use

Hi Jeff,
How is everything these days?
I got so many people asking for a nixie watch that it really is a pity I
have so little time to actually make them! I still like the idea of a 4 tube

you bought 6,000 IN17 tubes
