Making of a New Nixie Tube


https://www.electronics-lab.com/making-new-nixie-tube/

Dalibor Farny shows us how he hand make new Nixie tubes on this interesting video! The nixie tube is a vintage display device which had been used until 70s when it was replaced with LED displays. The complex knowledge of manufacture of nixie tubes literally died with tube factory’s engineers, glassblowers and machine operators. I […]

Nixie Bargraph Kit


https://www.electronics-lab.com/nixie-bargraph-kit/

Robin @ kickstarter.com launched his new campaign on a project using IN-9 Nixie tubes. Now you can easily control two IN-9 Nixie bargraph tubes with 2 PWM inputs from your Arduino, Raspberry or other control board. The tubes are controlled by PWM signals and adjusting the PWM duty cycle you can control the tubes height, […]

Adjustable HV Power Supply for Stompbox


https://www.electronics-lab.com/adjustable-hv-power-supply-stompbox/

This SMPS can be powered with low input voltage, from 5 VDC to 15 VDC and provided adjustable Output Voltage: + 92 Vdc to +340 Vdc. Can be used too, as power supply, for the Xenon Lamp, Nixie tube Clock, VFD display, Magic Eye, Neon, and too many others electronics circuits who need HV power […]

IN-4 Nixie Clock using ATmega168


https://www.electronics-lab.com/4-nixie-clock-using-atmega168/

andrea biffi @ instructables.com has a detailed tutorial on how to build your own Nixie clock using IN-4 tubes and Atmel ATMega168 microcontroller. Nixies are neon valve tubes, where ten cathodes have shape of digits and are lighted up by plasma when high voltage flows through them. I love these old era displays, which have been […]

Eagle – Create Nixie tube footprint


https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-create-nixie-tube-footprint/

lucadentella.it shows us how to create a Nixie tube footprint by placing the pads in a circular way. I’m working with Eagle to prepare a PCB for a Nixie clock. I wasn’t able to find a library for the Nixie I chose so I had to create it from scratch. Eagle – Create Nixie tube […]

Nixie thermometer

Luca Dentella has build a Nixie thermometer to measure the temperature of the liquid cooling system, file are available on Github. I decided to log the design and the development of the project in ten blog posts. They show my “divide et impera” approach: I divided the whole project in small tasks (drive a nixie […]

Nixie Tube Energy Meter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/46760-2/

John Whittington decided to build a Nixie tube energy meter to measure his house power consumption.  An Arduino would be the microcontroller but I wanted the meter to provide some form of data stream for a web based energy history. To make it an IoT, I a paired ESP8266 with it. I used both together […]

WiFi-based Weather Forecast and Clock


https://www.electronics-lab.com/wifi-based-weather-forecast-and-clock/

by soniktech.com: This project is a stopgap on my way to building a ground-up “Internet of Things” base design around the ESP8266 SoC WiFi solution. I started by taking a few nixie tubes I’ve had lying around from a past project, and connecting them to a Nixie Power supply I found on ebay. After making […]

Wireless Nixie Thermometer


https://www.electronics-lab.com/wireless-nixie-thermometer/

by christian.ich.7 @ instructables.com: The Target of this Project was to learn how to use different functions of the atmega: • Connecting two Atmegas with a wireless connection • Each Atmega has a Thermometer (DS1621) to read the actual temperature • Use the sleep Mode of an Atmega • Controlling a Nixie bargraph In-13 Wireless Nixie […]

Nixie Tube Clock


https://www.electronics-lab.com/nixie-tube-clock-3/

by Pete Mills : If you’ve poked around the internets where electronics hobbyists collect, it is likely that you are acutely aware of our incontrovertible affinity for building timekeeping clocks. It is similarly unlikely that you have been able to evade the plenitude of nixie tube based projects. There is a reason for this. Nixie […]
