This project is my take on creating a simple Nixie tube clock. The design uses few components but packs some nice features.

Features

  • a real time clock with super cap backup
  • a buzzer
  • a light intensity sensor
  • an auxiliary connector (UART, IRQ, GPIO, +5V)
  • support for an optional DCF77 decoder

Hardware

  • only 3 ICs (7805, ATMega8, and 74141 driver)
  • single side PCBs
  • through-hole components
  • designed for LC531 tubes
  • small size (46x108mm)
  • EagleCAD source for schematics and PCB

Software

  • written in C
  • tested with AVRStudio/Eclipse
