Shield Nixie Clock on Wooden Stand with Columns

Designed for 6 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 3.5 mm jack included with the Clock

Accessories include Temp. sensor, GPS Receiver and Remote

Nixie Clock is designed for Arduino UNO and MEGA 2560 Boards

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

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