My first clock did not have any buttons because there was nothing to
adjust. For my next clock I plan to use 6 buttons. I already made a
prototype of the connector PCB.
button Menu: navigates through menus, menu numbers are shown on the left
nixies
button Set: navigates through possible values for a menu, value numbers are
shown on the center nixies
button Esc: always returns to clock mode
button Red, Green and Blue: directly set brightness level if in rgb colors
menu. The current level (0-16) is shown on the right nixies.
Example:
Menu 8 = led mode:
Value 1 = off, 2 = constant, 3 = hour, 4 = transition
Menu 9 = led colors:
Value 0 – 23 = hours, 24 = constant color
Level Red 0-16 (shown on right nixies if button Red
pressed, press button Red again to adjust to next level)
Same for button Blue and Green.
What do you think about this? Too many buttons?
It’s just a hobby, I don’t sell the clocks but maybe I will give some away
to friends and relatives. My experience is that older people (like me) have
problems with multi-functional or timed buttons. I think that the Esc
button is important if I must give “remote support”.
