Quick update on the universal clock PCB, MicroBoard1: 1. Received the proto board, successfully built the board. 2. Tested power supply, working with 180v @ 11mA, 83% efficient. 3. Micro was successfully programmed. (tested program connection and power to micro). 4. Prelim software complete (6 digit clock, no GPS).
Next steps: 1. Build harness with 6 IN-8 tubes and sockets for testing. 2. Test software. 3. Add GPS support to software. I'm using Adafruit GPS (Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout: www.adafruit.com/products/746), others probably will work, too. Revisions/additions for production board: 1. Change 8 pin I/O connector to 10 pin I/O connector (board size stays the same). Better I/O options, especially with GPS present. 2. Design piggy back boards for the MicroBoard1: IN-17, B5750: 6 digit clock boards with optional GPS. - Michael Sangster Cold War Creations On Tuesday, May 21, 2013 3:06:53 PM UTC-5, M.J.Sangster wrote: > > I'm planning on building and possibly selling a micro nixie controller > board.
