That's quite a construction! Your wire salesperson must be very happy.
You might want to turn your GPS receiver so that the top of the chip faces the sky. It will be able to see more satellites that way.

Hi, I’m new in the forum. I’ve finally managed to build my first nixie clock. It’s a 6-digit clock with 4 x Z5660M and 2 x IN-8 nixies. I’ve decided to build the clock with direct drive so I’ve used 8 x 74HC595 and 64 x MPSA42 transistors. The controller is a Atmega 328P, the 170V psu was made with a MC34063, coil, transistor and mosfet. The psu seems to work fine, no audible noise and the components remain cool. I had no idea how to shut down the 170V so I’ve used a relay to cut the 12V supply to the 170V psu. I’m sure there must be a better way to do this. Finally, I’ve added a GPS time sync, a motion sensor and a mp3 module, the clock plays a sound every hour. I was surprised how easy it was to write the software. In the latest release I’ve implemented a simple cathode poisoning prevention function (just heard about this problem). For the next release I have planned to use the pps signal for a more accurate GPS time synchronization. I know, the whole thing looks like a nightmare… but it works :-) Regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
