This is a nixie clock project based on IN-16 gas-discharge tubes and ATtiny88 microcontroller.
It is simplified and has no control buttons except for one reed switch, which is used to reset the time.
- Full time info display:
hh:mm:ss. - Non-isolated boost DC-DC converter with feedback, that raise voltage from 15 to 180V and helps to keep brightness at constant level.
- PID controller engaged in to reach precise voltage value with fast feedback response.
- Soft-start and soft-turnoff techniques to reduce electrical load of included components.
- Cathodes anti-degradation technology like in other nixie devices.
- Embedded temperature sensor with compensation.
- The supercapacitor helps to keep the RTC in working order for a long time without an input voltage and does not require replacement.
- A nighttime display pause to conserve tube resource.
