Title: Help with parts for clock. Post by: Serow on June 27, 2013, 01:26:42 AM I am planning out my build for a Nixie clock. It's going to use 4 IN-12A Nixies for hour/minutes and 3 INS-1 Nixies for 2 separators and an AM/PM indicator. I bought the Nixies and an Arduinix. Could anybody help me with what other electronic parts I'm going to need to complete the clock? Also I haven't decided what I'm going to use for the case, what are my choices? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, what method does the Arduinix use for keeping time? Title: Re: Help with parts for clock.

- There are no pre-built cases that I'm aware of (unless you buy a whole-clock kit or something). Get creative! I built mine from Oak, you can browse this site or the web in general to find other examples for inspiration. - The ArduiNix does not keep time. You'll have to program that with the Arduino. Some (such as myself) have used an external RTC. |
