Although looking at the cost of a pair of max6921 drivers.. at $7 each in bulk quantities is pushing that price target. Why are they so expensive!?!Rarely do any of these low volume projects make any proper amount of money for me, or likely anyone else for that matter. Dare I count my hours of labor ;) Alright! I think there is enough interest to continue! I think given the small size the Xiao ESP32C6 is going to be the one for this kit, at least to start off with. I like that it's pin compatible with a few other similar boards. I also prefer the built in antenna, as a lot of the other Xiao's have an external connectors only (which is good too for some things!).https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-Studio-XIAO-ESP32C6-p-5884.html Maybe I can use the USB C input for power.. that way the DC adapter is somewhat a "standard".Small piezo buzzer too, since the firmware already plays tunes. Comments or suggestions, I'm always happy to hear them! Regards,-Moses On Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 12:19:11 PM UTC-8 Michail Wilson wrote: Do you have a price target? Count me in for 4.

Yes, it's based on the same core software as my other clocks. I provide the source, although not technically "open source".. it's on my website for anyone to look at. There is a link to the source (and compiled binaries) under "ESP32 Firmware" at the following link. I've been on 0.92 BETA2 for a long time and I would consider it release quality. It's easy to recompile once you setup the correct Arduino environment with the proper libraries (listed at the beginning of the code). https://www.neonixie.com/IV-9-6D-RR/#esp32 Cool, so far I got two interested parties! ;) Regards, -Moses On Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 10:51:15 AM UTC-8 Michail Wilson wrote: I am interested in one or two. Would it be open source? If not, would you make a basic open source program which can just talk to the tubes? If open or partially, I would be interested in a few/several kits.

Folks, I started working on a prototype IV-21 clock sometime last year. I got to the point of an advanced prototype, ready to move to a PCB.. but life got in the way. I never really bothered with VFD displays much before, but now they are growing on me. This one is a good size for a more close up clock, it's been my "desk" clock for about a year now. I can put this into production, I have plenty of tubes on hand, but would like to see if there is any interest from the group. If I can get 10-20 interested parties, I would pursue it to a production kit. My design is as follows: Dual IV-21 tubes, as seen in the cardboard mockup. ESP32 Xiao controller (NTP/wifi software based on my other clockswww.neonixie.com) Onboard DC-DC step up controlled by the ESP Modern max6921 serial VFD drivers I like to see the date and/or UTC time along with local, so I like the dual tube idea. Anyone interested? Regards, -Moses -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
