EasyNixie Is A Nixie Tube Driver Module for Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/easynixie-nixie-tube-driver-for-arduino/
EasNixy, a $19.00 Arduino-based Nixy tube driver, aims to resolve the challenges associated with working with Nixy tubes. Designed and engineered by Aleksei Karavaev, this device, adorably named EasyNixie, is touted by him as ‘a simpler and safer way to drive Nixies’. In a recent Hackaday article Karavaev comments: I have been fascinated by nixie […]
Super Bright Nixie-Like Linear Dot Display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/super-bright-nixie-like-linear-dot-display/
LED Bar graphs are one of the best ways to provide visual feedback to users in projects where using a screen might be an overkill. Especially in projects where you need to indicate level, intensity, and other values that are worth representing on a bar graph. The quality of LED bar graphs has not really […]
HV Nixie DC-DC Switching Power Supply using MAX1771
https://www.electronics-lab.com/hv-nixie-dc-dc-switching-power-supply-using-max1771/
Nixie tubes need about ~180Vdc to light up and thus on most devices, a DC-DC converter is needed. Here we designed a simple DC-DC switching regulator capable of powering most of Nixie tubes. The board accepts 12Vdc input and gives an output of 150-250Vdc. The module is based on the MAX1771 Step-Up DC-DC Controller. The […]
Free Elektor Article: Nixie Bargraph Thermometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/free-elektor-article-nixie-bargraph-thermometer/
Nixie tubes are always fascinating. Nowadays they are mostly used for clock displays, such as the project in the May/June 2016 issue of Elektor. The ‘Nixie’ bargraph tubes for analogue readout in the form of a column of light are less well known. Strictly speaking, they are not Nixie tubes because they do not display […]
NIXLER: limited edition nixie tube clock
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nixler-limited-edition-nixie-tube-clock/
The NIXLER is being built as an open-source project and designed with the DIYer in mind. I’ve included a USB to UART chip directly on the board making the NIXLER easy to reprogram. This together with the onboard ESP32 microcontroller with wifi/bluetooth, enables full customization. Hook up the NIXLER to your computer, open up the […]
Arduino IN-14 Nixie Clock with a DS1307 RTC
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-14-nixie-clock-ds1307-rtc/
GreatScottLab @ instructables.com shows us how to build an Arduino Nano based Nixie clock that features DS1307 RTC clock and 4x IN-14 Nixie tubes. He writes: In this project I will show you how to create a retro nixie clock. That means I will show you how you can control nixie tubes with a high […]

NixieTherm RGB, an IN-13 tube indoor thermometer (DIY kit or assembled) with build-in true RGB controller; powered by 5V USB A Russian Bargraph-Nixie-tube shows similar like in the good old time a mercury thermometer the room-temperature with a variable glow hight lenght; however with NixieTherm RGB you have a wonderful red-orange glow. At the same […]
Arduino Clock on IN-18 Nixie Tubes with a LONG Service Life
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-clock-18-nixie-tubes-long-service-life/
Build your own Nixie tube clock/thermometer/display with ease. by Grisha Anofriev @ www.hackster.io We set out to create a Nixie clock or just an information indicator on the largest ex-Soviet IN-18 tubes as an Arduino shield-compatible with both Uno and Mega boards. After a long reading of lots of information about IN-18 tubes on the […]
Enix: The Modern Nixie Clock
https://www.electronics-lab.com/enix-modern-nixie-clock/
Here at electronics-lab.com we love Nixie clocks and when we came across this beautiful IN-14 clock we thought that worth sharing the news with you. This is a beautifully sleek product that gives new life to vintage components. Argon Prototypes Inc. has launched a kickstarter campaign and it is already funded with 19 days remaining. […]
Designing a Small Footprint, Low Profile 5v to 170v Nixie Tube Power Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/designing-small-footprint-low-profile-5v-170v-nixie-tube-power-supply/
Mark Smith @ surfncircuits.com has a detailed explanation on building a Nixie power supply, able to produce 170V from a 5V source. The article is spitted in 3 parts, with part two presenting the results and performance and part 3 discussing PCB design. Nixie Tubes are cool retro looking decimal digit displays useful for many […]
