This is a new and improved version of “Warm Tube Clock” – the open source Nixie clock project. Important hardware changes between this new version and the previous one are:
- Timekeeping is more accurate and is done by DS3231 (or DS3232) RTC IC
- There is no DS18S20 temperature sensor – the internal one of RTC IC is used instead
- Backup battery is not powering AVR anymore, but only the RTC IC
- There is no “slide switch” to control the alarm – now it is done in firmware
- Crystal on PCB is optional and can be chosen up to 16 MHz. It clocks AVR and GSCLK pin of TLC59401 IC
- Pin-compatible with previous version of Nixie “shields”

In honor of the new chronodot, we’ve put the brains behind the chip (The maxim DS3231) into our partfinder! This is a high precision ‘big brother’ to the DS1307. It has a built in temperature compensated oscillator so that its very precise. They are a bit chunky but good when you want to really keep track of time and cant integrate a GPS module.
