- Universal Nixieclock kit V1.08 for all nixie tubes ever produced - 2 - 4 - 6 nixie tubes can be driven.
-
- Features
-
- - Universal design with switchmode power supply, can drive any tubes
- - tube saving routine - switch off the tubes during the night- increase their lifetime

- (dual anode), 6 tubes or 2 alphanumeric tubes
- - Power supplied from a low voltage plug in adapter (9 – 12V AC)
- - Efficient multiplex design, saves space and enhances tube life
- - Dimming mode with optional auto function and tubes off-function
- - Attractive digit crossfade
- - Built in DCF77 software decoder for ultimate accuracy
- - Showing the date in DCF77 and GPS mode
- - Auto detection of 1Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz or DCF77 signal
- - Selectable 12 / 24 hour display mode
- - Showing the date if in DCF77 or GPS mode.
- - date format DD:MM:YY and MM:DD:YY (Europe and US Standard)
- - LED indicators for DCF77 signal, and PM

- The nixie clock is crammed full of features with a PIC microcontroller at its heart. The state of art design is powered from a low voltage adapter and has the ability to drive any nixie tubes including alphanumeric varieties. With its built in decoder there is the ability to add a DCF77 receiver for ultimate accuracy or add our new GPS to DCF77 converter.
Alternatively the clock can be line driven with automatic 50/60Hz detection from your mains. For complete flexibility, you can also drive the clock with an external 1Hz generator (GPS 1pps signal). Two small push buttons allow for setting the time, selecting 12/24 hour mode and controlling the display dimmer.
NEW - We now offer a GPS to DCF 77 converter unit that will make this and all other nixieclocks made by us run on GPS time. It is also possible to show the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit instead of the date! The unit will be connected to the DCF77 input of the clock pcb and it will work with all our hardware. The software must be version 5.8 or higher. So no new hardware or new software is needed for the nixie clock! It will also show temperature if a sensor is connected to GPS to DCF77 converter.
The Kit
- All parts required to build the kit are supplied but no tubes, no tube pcb, no power supply and no case. You will need standard electronic construction tools including soldering iron, cutters etc.
