Nixie tube clock12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Before interconnect the valves, test each one separately. You will gain a lot of mobility doing it. It's necessary to be patient in this phase, but to me this is the best solution. You can adjust the position of the plug moving it clockwise or counterclockwise.Ĭommands: as described in the beginning I decided to fix the controls on the case, it turns easy to install the pcb in any case.Ĭables: as I am not using a PCB to weld the tubes, it is necessary to wire the tubes directly one by one. I just cut the top of the plug to pass the wires through and it turned a perfect holder to the valve. I solve the problem using a plastic blind plug with the same internal size of the connector. Valve base: As the metal support is a little large than the tube valve, the valve will pass through the hole. Doing it I can use any nixie tube, not only IN-4 as the original project and I gained mobility to install the tubes in any position I want.Īs you can see, what I did was just minor improvements. I wired the tubes direct without using a Tube PCB. And if for any reason that I am not considering you need to return the clock to the original set time, just turn off and turn on the clock using on-off switch (S1). We have two push buttons to set Hour and Minutes, if I need to set the time I can use them. I don’t see any useful application for it. To turn easy to install the pcb in any case, I removed the push buttons from the pcb, so you can install the buttons direct in the case. I removed this switch and 12 VDC must be used (you can use a PS that provides VI =11.5V to 24V). The original project is designed to power the circuit with more than one specific voltage, and to make it possible one switch is necessary do select the voltage that will be used. In my future nixie clock (now in construction phase) I will show in details step-by-step all modifications I made, but in this project I will just show the modifications listed below: I made some modifications, some improvements according what I want in a clock (minimum electronic parts as possible). In this project I will show my new IN-14 nixie clock.Īs I told in the previous Nixie clock case project, my clock is based in the Andrea’s nixie clock. I have to confess, I am addicted with tube valves.
