COMPONENTS #1

COMPONENTS #2 - Enclosure

1. ONE Nixie Clock Module

The clock includes several modules shown above. The modular structure of the clock allows very easy assembly and fast start-up of the clock. The main module - the motherboard also contains other clock components (already assembled SMD components e.g. backlight LEDs, shift registers, control transistors) - details in the clock documentation.

12. RTC - Real Time Clock Module

13. NPS - Nixie Power Supply Module

14. The Assembly of the Mainboard is Complete

15. Enclosure Assembly

16. ONE Nixie Clock

17. Settings

At the very beginning, remember to set the operating voltage for the ONE Nixie Clock to 3.3V or 5V, use a jumper - the same voltage as the operating voltage of your Arduino board e.g. Nano Every 5V, Nano 33 IoT 3.3V

You will find the PH8 connector on the bottom side of the ONE Nixie Clock board.

18. Power Supply

ONE Nixie Clock required good quality power supply - 12V, 1.5A center pin positive+.

19. Coding Steps

Place the Arduino Nano / Every / 33 IoT in the ONE Nixie Clock board and connect it to the computer with a USB cable.

• Turn OFF power supply (if connected) SW1 toggle switch
• Connect ONE Nixie Clock with your computer via USB cable
• Upload Code
• Turn ON power supply

20. How to Read the Time

The time is displayed in rotation, starting with hours then minutes. For easier reading of the time the seconds have been disabled. You can also set different color of backlight for hours and different for minutes.
