DIY a single nixie tube clock by using a IN-18 tube and an Arduino uno dev board(Atmega328P-AU)

A Clock using IN-18 nixie tube, which just has one tube. In my design, the clock has following parts:

1: IN -18 Nixie Tube

2: DC-DC Coverter(lift 5V to 170V)

3: Control board for the tube

4: Arduino uno dev board and DS3231

5: Tapsensor

6: Auxiliary button (Reset MCU once it goes crazy)

7: A container and removable bottom (glass fiber , 3D print)

DS3231 is connect to arduino by I2C, once tapsensor gives a "HIGH", processor get time data from ds3231 process raw data and divide into individual digits. Then ignite nixie tube

Those channels control 10 transistors, once triggered, the voltage across the character and anode will up to approx 170v. DONE~

In actual works, only the board which carries control transistors been designed especially and manufactured(simply.ewprj)
