Mark Smith over at surfncircuits has a nice write-up about building an ETA Nixie Tube Clock: This DIY project will combine the estimated time of arrival function with a Nixie tube display to create an estimated time of arrival (ETA) Nixie tube clock. It is all easily controlled by a Raspberry Pi Zero W that […]

Single tube Lethal Nixie clock
Andrew Moser made a lethal nixie tube clock: Clock 1: Single tube Lethal Nixie clock — you know having all the high voltage lines exposed and un-insulated. Inspiration for this design was from this clock. Unfortunately I built mine right after having surgery. I think the painkillers had something to do with the aesthetics… Anyhow […]
Nixie tube clock
Pete Mills has written an article detailing the build of his Nixie tube clock: Fortunately, not all nixie tube clocks are implemented the same. In fact, look around at all the schematics for nixie clocks, and you will realize there are more permutations in methodology than there are models of nixie tubes. This is how […]
Flashing a Nixie with an Arduino
Kevin Rye writes: I’m in the very early stages of prototyping a nixie clock. I picked up some MJE340 power transistors to switch on some IN-3s. I can then use a digital pin on my Arduino to turn on the IN-3s through the transistor. I’ll then have myself a blinking colon for my nixie tube […]
Nixie bargraph clock
Thereisonlyme wrote this Instructable detailing the build of his Nixie bargraph clock: This is a cool Nixie Bargraph Clock that has an hour and minute tube, the heights of the plasma in each tube indicates the time. There are some wires wrapped around the tubes so you can easily see what time it is without estimating. The […]
7400 competition entry: Nixie tube clock
Here’s an entry in the Open 7400 Logic conpetition: A nixie tube clock. My entry for the competiton is a nixie tube clock where all the logic is in 4000 series chips (and the tube drivers are 7400 series!). Details and build log.
