This a simple, minimal component count, single digit Nixie clock that fits into glass test-tube case.The high voltage supply for the Nixie in this clock is directly taken from the mains. This works perfectly, but it has some serious implications with respect to safety. [more]
This project is a microcontroller project creating an alarm clock with two alarm times using PIC18F4520.There are 5 buttons: mode, hour, minutes, alarm 1 and alarm 2.The output pins from the PIC18F4520 will be connected to a vibrator to create the motion alarm.[more]
The PIC microcontroller is programmed to read the real-time clock using I2C serial communication several times a second and update the display.The PIC performs two other functions; it compares the time against the alarm settings to determine when it should go off and also handles time, date and alarm setting.The design was created using New Wave Concepts’ LiveWire which allows you to simulate the effect of the signals on the components.[more]
The clock will have 6 digits and time setting will be done by means of a few buttons.The supply voltage for the clock must be safe 12 V to avoid dangerous mains line voltage.[more]
This is a single digit clock with the E1T scaler tube designed by Ronald Dekker.The E1T was designed for high-speed counting in measurement equipment. This was achieved by using an electron beam as opposed to a glow discharge as used in the competing decatron. This implied the use of a filament heated cathode.[more]
