*Hi, I’d like to share my project with you, a nixie tube kitchen timer.I am
really late coming into the nixie world -- I got my first nixie tubes last
year, just by a coincidence. I thought I wanted something that I can type
numbers into nixies, and decided to make a replacement for my failing old
kitchen timer.For uses in kitchen, I made it somewhat waterproof so that I
can touch it with my hands wet. I made an enclosure that covers tubes and
the PCB, a hang hole on the back, and used a membrane keypad.This design
works well, and the timer has been in my everyday use in my kitchen since I
made it in last December, without any failure.Nixie tubes are very good in
a timer, it’s a lot easier to read than 7-segment displays.It was my first
time making something with nixie tubes and high voltages, and information
in neonixie-l group helped me very much. I exhibited my timer at a
convention in Tokyo and it got more positive responses than I had expected,
so I thought I should feed it back here. Thanks everyone!I made a web page
about my kitchen timer here: http://q61.org/en/nixietmr/
<http://q61.org/en/nixietmr/>It has a longer version of the story, pictures
and a video, as well as tech docs such as schematics.Thanks again,ko*
