Very nice looking! Clean and simple. I like the wood.

The design is pretty basic, but it gave me a chance to finally make something which resembles a finished product, using some basic woodworking with hand tools, and I must say I'm really happy with the result. I never really fell in love with Numitrons from seeing photos, but a friend had built a clock with some Russian ones and that was the turning point for me. Since I acquired enough tubes to make some clocks, I decided to go with a mass-manufacturable design on a single PCB, in order to simplify the assembly. On the firmware side, there was a lot of experimentation with WiFi, NTP, DST and time zones, but I recently decided to strip it down to bare basics with manually settable time, as that ended up being the lesser evil compared to captive portal web configuration and WiFi setup with endless complications. Often simpler is better, and I'm happy to see that my single button time setting code is intuitive enough that most people figure it out on their own. I'm still a bit on the fence about sharing design files, but I'm gravitating towards doing so. For now this is just a showcase of my own project, which might hopefully inspire people to pick up some nice wood and a hand plane. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
