Shield Nixie Clock in Acrylic Case with Column

Designed for 4 IN-14 xUSSR Nixie Tubes with Sockets

IN-14 Tubes are the most popular mass-produced Nixie Tubes

Nixie Clocks are one of the most beautiful and popular Vintage Clocks

Clock features Startup Tune, RGB backlight, USB port for updates

External Temperature sensor with PH2.0 connector included with the Clock

Accessories include Temp. sensor, GPS Receiver and IR Remote

Nixie Clock is designed for Arduino UNO and MEGA 2560 Boards

It allows you to write your own unique programs for the Arduino platform

All the latest Source codes are always available on our GitHub channel

Our Benefits:

• Easy to build beautiful clock – we also offer the case.
• Easy to customize firmware under Your own needs, thanks to an open platform – Arduino.
• Fast uploading via USB.
• The latest version of the firmware is always available on GitHub.
• No need for additional drivers – we are use only Genuine USB to serial converters. Drivers for them are pre-installed in all popular OS: Windows, MacOS, Linux.
• Human friendly menu.
• Very high quality product, made to lasts.
• Complete Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight, tubes and sound. Unique circumstantial tube test.
• Competent Technical support.

Software Features:

• Clock uses rarest xUSSR nixie tubes IN-14 – 4pcs.
• Date format: [DD:MM]; 12/24 hour format: [HH:MM].
• Full static display mode. The maximum possible brightness of the tubes.
• Slot Machine (Anti poisoning – tubes saving function. Increases the service life).
• Temperature measurement [Celsius or Fahrenheit] (optional – choose in selector).
• GPS time synchronization (requires a standard GPS receiver, NMEA protocol, 5 V power supply, optional – choose in selector).
• IR remote controls (Remote control model Sony RM-X151/RM-X153, optional – choose in selector). IR protocol SIRC or any protocol if you able to implement it.
• Automatic update information on the tubes.
• Unique RGB LED backlight with 16,7 million colors. Your can choose any constant color off backlight LED and memorize it. Or you have option for a cyclic full spectrum color change!
• Switching on/off LED backlight in the matter of seconds.
• As alarm sound clock uses standard RTTTL (Nokia format) melodies, so you can easily change it (included songs: Mission Impossible, We Wish You…).
• Easy updating firmware via USB using Arduino IDE.
• Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight, tubes and sound. You can check firmware version at the end. Unique detailed tube test – our soft check each segment on every lamp. Distinguishable to see segment failure.

Hardware Features:

• Highly Accurate RTC (Real Time Clock) DS3231SN with backup battery.
• Integrated adjustable High Voltage Power supply: 150 – 220 V.
• High voltage adjusting potentiometer.
• 3 control buttons on board.
• 8 pcs RGB SMD LEDs.
• 3 PWM channels for RGB LEDs 8 bit per channel = 24bit = 16,7 million colors. It can be disabled in the menu (please check the manual).
• High quality PCB and components. We use Japanese aluminum capacitors only (Nichicon, Panasonic).
• Internal buzzer.
• Test points for testing, adjusting and controlling low and high voltage circuits.
• Plug for optional external GPS receiver (only with Arduino Mega).
• IR receiver TSOP4836 for optional IR remote controllers (In case of using Arduino UNO, they may conflict with “Tone” library). If you plan to use remote controll, we strongly recommend the using of Arduino MEGA – works fluently.
• 3 pin connector for optional Temperature sensor (DS18B20; 1-Wire protocol).
• Plug for optional external GPS receiver.
• SPI up to 4Mhz.
• Places for 2 column with 2 neon dots (digits separator).
• Independent controls for upper and lower dots.
• Power consumption: 11-14 VDC, 750 mA. Recommended: 12 VDC, not less than 1A. Power supply connector dimensions 5.5 x 2.1mm (center pin positive “+”).
• Reverse polarity protection.
• IN-14 Tubes Clock  dimensions: 180(L) x 90(H) x 70(W) mm.
