👀 Something Big is Underway! 👀
So I've Been Hoping to get A Nixie Watch for a while, with revisions going up to version 4.
Just this revision I've been working on it for literally 4 months and probably will for more than that :P
The (Hopefully) Implemented Completely Open-sourced, Easily Programmable, 3D Printed and Affordable, that's the plan at least!
The Hardware consists of Daughterboard and A Motherboard, connected by - not definitely connected with finicky 24Pin FPC cables - And controlled by the ATMEL ATTINY84A & @Microchip HV5523K7-G.. Powering 2 russian ИН-16 Nixie Tubes.
Power supply designed by electronoob's simple power supply - The MAX1771ESA, transistor, fast changing diode and some caps/Inductors Supplying a spine-chilling and steady 170v
An MCP73831 Charging circuit completed with off-market Qi-wireless charger on the back for some ghetto wireless charging
(There aren't simple Qi-compliant solutions yet)
Times kept accurate with DS1307 and a 32.768kHz Crystal
And powered by 200mAh trust-me-bro battery from Aliexpress!
3D models coming out this weekend, Programming maybe bit later on. But definitely in progress and printed by @pcbway
2 layer PCBs are by JLCPCB, I'll keep you updated about how these turn out!
It's heavily in WIP, programming is not final and 3D Printing is stuck in customs for now.
