I completed work on a new Nixie Clock at the weekend; this one’s for me. I already had the tubes as I’d bought a batch of 17 off Ebay a while ago and whilst I used 6 for a friend’s clock, the rest were just sitting there begging to be used.

The design is basically the same as the original but I did take the opportunity to update PCBs in a couple of places and add some expansion capabilities.

I’ll be publishing the construction details here soon… watch this space.
 
 
I’ve got a couple of new projects, to go with the hundred of already running projects, on the stove right now. I had a brain wave the other day for a new clock (picture below) and once I’ve ironed out the kinks I’ll post full construction details for those that want to have a go.
I’ve also been chatting with my friend Max (Clive “Max” Maxfield – author of lots of computing articles and technical blogs – find him on Amazon or the Internet) about a rather exciting computing project.  Who said 4-bit computing was dead.
