Very nice!!! To pull off the electrical design, fab and integrate it into an aesthetically pleasing watch design is no small feat.
My only criticism of the z5900m is the coarse anode. In my opinion the previous style tube you used (Burroughs) with the fine mesh anode is much nicer to look at. But with your modular design, I'm sure swapping tubes is relatively easy to do; the electrical requirements between similarly sized tubes should be very similar if not identical. Do you plan on sharing the boards on OshPark and releasing schematics/ firmware for some of us DIYers out there? ;) On Wed, Jul 17, 2019, 9:24 AM Remco <[email protected]> wrote: > Some more pictures. > > Op woensdag 17 juli 2019 15:19:33 UTC+2 schreef Remco: >> >> Hi guys, >> >> >> The last year or so I was doing a hobby project of a nixiewatch.
