Hi Greg; I have a ongoing clock design where I separate the CPU from the display. The main CPU board uses a SiLabs 8051 class CPU with LOTS of features (some might be considered a bit crazy). The CPU generates all voltages (the 170 is adjustable under firmware for higher-voltage tubes. The cathode data is serial to the display drivers (using HV5812PJ-G). This was so I was no locked into the 10 cathode Nixie format, I can do Panaplex, LEDs, of 14 segment British Flag displays, just a Small Matter of Programming.
For display, I have the small display board with 9 IN-14 + IN 19 tubes with QTC sockets. I have the large display for 6 Z5600M Nixie + 3 IN-15 or IN12+1N15. I also have a display Hub that breaks out the display signals to 3 (H/M/S) separate 20 pin ribbon that connects to a 3 tube display cluster. I used the basic design to create a "Back to the Future" time console for a friend where the date is displayed with 14 segment LEDs Were you just looking for a clock (or something more)? -Newer Bill- On Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 6:49:32 AM UTC-7, Greg P wrote: > > I wish someone would make a clock or a kit for the 5971's.
