You could, in theory, buy two of them, two Arduino Unos, a cheap RTC, and a decent power supply and put together your 12 digit clock for, what, $300 or so (counting the Unos and stuff). They're definitely NOT cheap, at basically $60 for each Nixie tube digit you want (so a 12 digit clock right there is over $700).Īctually, looking at his site, there's a 6-digit Nixie Tube Arduino Uno shield that he sells for $100 (complete kit, you assemble, or he'll build them for $300 each). I like the SmartNixieTube stuff, like I said I backed it on Kickstarter and I put together a 6 digit clock with the kits. It won't be cheap no matter which way you go, but what you want to build is biting off a pretty good chunk for a beginner. I'd do a lot more looking around on Nixie tube clock kits and see how they're put together, and maybe find one (a 4 digit clock, or 6 digit, perhaps) that looks like it might work for you, and if you feel comfortable with the kits, buy one and put it together, and if you get it and love it, buy another one for the date and make a 12 digit clock that way. If you want a standalone clock, adding the ability to keep time without being plugged into a computer isn't all that difficult, but it depends on what you have actually driving the nixie tubes - there are a variety of kits out there, some Arduino based, some PIC based, some based on more discrete components, so how the actual "clock" works is pretty dependent on that. So you'll have to have some kind of selection circuit for each tube, and there has to be one per tube, which is where the expense grows. The problem isn't the tubes, they are, if you Google around, relatively cheap per piece, but the power supply and the control circuit to drive them all gets linearly expensive.įor a Nixie tube circuit, you have two basic components: a high voltage power supply that energizes the tubes to "glow", and then a selector circuit that sets each individual digit to turn on (if you look at the bottom of a Nixie tube, there are about 12 pins on the bottom - one pin for the high voltage, and 11 more for individually turning on the digits 0-9 and the decimal point (if the tube has one).
Wanting to build a 12 digit kit will get pretty expensive pretty quickly. Most Nixie clock kits are 4 digit kits because of the cost - $200-300 for a build-it-yourself 4-digit clock kit. Look for a redesigned kit instead of rolling your own. Tl dr: they're cool but not a beginner project. I think I wound up paying around $350 for that stuff, but it was wildly over engineered for just a clock - I use them as a clock right now, but I've made more generic numeric displays out of them also, so the extra functionality they had was worth the higher price for me. I kickstarted a "smart Nixie tube" project a year or so ago that was basically a modular Nixie tube driven by a small Arduino compatible board, and they'd daisy chain to make a wider numeric display. A good clock kit will probably run you around $200-250 or more. Nixie tubes are generally pretty cheap (a couple of bucks each) but the circuits to drive them aren't the cheapest things in the world. I will look up some kits and edit this post when I have some links for you. If you're interested in building a clock, there are premade kits available that will at least make the design of a clock easier for you. Because of that, they're not really a project for a beginner - the voltage isn't fatal, but it'll deliver an unpleasant shock. In order to get them to "light up" they need a 170VDC power supply (or thereabouts). If your app supports both orientations, then you don't need to declare either feature.#The app uses the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telephony radio system.Nixie tubes are big fun because of the retro styling, and that they look like vacuum tubes (technically, they're not, they're gaseous tubes like neon tubes).
The app requires the device to use the portrait or landscape orientation. The app uses the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telephony radio system.
