2uA!!! I couldn't get anywhere near that low, even if I was just powering the PIC. I spent weeks and weeks trying to get it to run as low power as possible. I'm running the PIC at 4MHz with all the hardware turned off (i2c etc.) until I need it. 2uA is very impressive.
The lathe and the milling machine belong to a friend of mine. They are pretty old, 1970s I think. It took 5 evenings of 3 hours to machine them. The hardest part was setting the parts in the chuck and getting them centered, due to the very thin wall thickness. You can't go reaming the 4 jaw chuck up so tight you crush the 2mm thick walls of the watch case in, but then again you can't have it that loose that it will fly out of the chuck. Anyway, I'm very happy with the finished result and am since Wednesday I have retired my Rip Curl analogue tide watch for my new Nixie watch. Although it is larger than my old watch, it only weighs 72 grams, my old one was 219 grams! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
