Blinks once a second (is set as a default option).There are also three modes for colon tubes: The current time could be configured to 12 or 24 hour format. It is necessary to prolong tubes lifespan.Ĭurrent date is shown each 1-5-th minute in 3 various formats: DD:MM:YY, MM:DD:YY or YY:MM:DD. Time accuracy is provided with built-in RTC (Real Time Clock DS3231) module and backuped with CR2032 battery while the clock is powered off. At the end of each minute (could be configured to be set from 1-5 minutes period or completely disabled) starts 'Slot Machine' feature that helps to prevent cathode poisoning effect.

The clock is built with 6 numeric IN-14 Nixie tubes. A built-in RGB LED backlight (with 10 levels for each channel) allow you to set your favorite color. 4 x 74141 BCD to decimal decoder and Nixie driver IC. Warm glowing of the neon will fill your house with soft orange light at night and will serve as a night light. It is a perfect gift for your friend and definitely will fit into any interior. This clock is a combination of modern technologies and vintage Nixie tubes. Two neon colon tubes installed into the clock base.Six tested IN-14 Nixie tubes mounted to the clock base.I can thoroughly recommend Bad Dog, and am spreading the word in Perth Western Australia. The build quality is first class, and I’m sure our kids will be enjoying these pieces long after we’ve gone. Prepared libraries for use in your own projects - Eagle, Altium, KiCad and EasyEDA. 10 high-voltage outputs for nixie cathodes.

Multiple drivers can be connected in series. Paul thinks laterally which is why he keeps coming up with new and interesting pieces of art. Nixie Tube Driver V1 - Easy to use - only 3 control lines. They arrived well packaged and have been a joy to us, and have been well received by those fortunate enough to have seen them. I’m a little biased but think that these projects are amongst his best. Throughout the builds I was kept informed of progress, by email and images. The result is The Bridge, Excalibur Mk III, and the Lambent Harp.

Paul is very collaborative and made sure I was happy with design features, and he listened when I made the odd suggestion. Nixie Tube Clock with IN-12 Tubes, Luminous Clock, Retro Modern Desk Vintage Punk Digital Desktop Creative Ornaments USB Type-C Connection Type, 4.53 x 1.82 x 1.82 inches. Then we moved on and spent some time talking about designs and options for various projects. We started off with me buying the last Grace clock as a present for my wife. After poring over his old website for many days I finally made contact. Paul and Bad Dog Design have been part of my life for a about six months now. Please take look at the Commission work page and you will see a myriad of items that have made those special people happy! I focus in one off items made just for that certain person.

If you're looking for a gift for the person who has everything, or something engineered for the engineer in your life, then you're at the right place. A Nixie tube is a device created in the 1950s to display numbers, before the invention of the LED. Founded in 2014 Bad Dog Designs has been bringing Nixies back to life ever since! We use these tubes to make unusal clocks, beautifully engineered art pieces and send them all over the world. A wonderful warm neon glow that will last in excess of 20 years and has a vintage charm all of its own. By matrix connection, so we need only 16 outputs from Arduino to control 60 lights of 6 nixie tube.The real-time clock module DS3231 is used to keep the time (even turn off power), it is communicated with Arduino by I2C. The award-winning Bad Dog Designs workshops are located inside a small factory unit on a farm in Pillaton, Staffordshire, England, where I create unique and individual art works containing vintage Nixie tubes, to make usually a clock - then housed in original vintage cases, or if you wished to send in your own cherished item I can happily work with that for you.Ī Nixie tube is a device created in the 1950's to display numbers, before the invention of the LED. The circuit uses opto-isolation chip to control Nixie tube (using 150VDC) by Arduino (using 5VDC).
