Recently started up a longtime nixie project I've had in mind. Quite ambitious
(for me at least), and something that hasn't quite been done before to my
knowledge. This is a 4 tube, bluetooth enabled (nrf52832 mcu), direct drive
(not multiplexed) watch with burroughs b5755r nixies that I'm currently getting
out of my head and onto paper. It will include features such as capacitive
touch buttons, programmable accelerometer, automatic light sensor, removable
14500 lithium battery, and smartphone app for all sorts of display effects and
options. No LED backlights on this one; its all about the neon!
It's nowhere near complete; the design currently exists in the digital domain.
I'm closing in on the first "complete" revision in the next few weeks. Current
dimensions are 59mm square by 28mm deep. Its quite large to be hanging off of
the wrist.. but are there really any rules when it comes to a timepiece as
unconventional?
The software development will also be a tremendous task. Slow and steady wins
the race here!
