Thanks. Yes, two extra, maybe three. You can have one for the cost of shipping. Please contact me off the group if you are interested. I'll post the code, schematic, and Diptrace files to Github, shortly. Only the seven digit design is there now. Zev-2 seven digit nixie clock

Nice clock! Curious about the capacitor you used for sustaining the DS3231 RTC during power-outages because there is a periodic temperature-compensation cycle every 64 seconds that takes a spike in current. Datasheet says about 600uA for up to 200msec, so each of those will take a bite out of y

Thanks! I was not aware of that. I'm using a variety of supercaps bought from Digikey and on ebay. I didn't pay much attention to that part of the circuit or the values of the supercaps, but I was surprised to find that one clock had the correct time when not powered for about two weeks. On

Thank you. I won't be selling anything, but the files and documentation will be on Github, for anyone interested. My projects are very easy to build, otherwise I would not be able to build them! Some kit building experience is required. There are no instructions, just a schematic and BOM. That
