[neonixie-l] Re: 2 digit Nixie clock design

2021-09-07 Thread LB 
The first nixie clock I built was a two-tube design, though it's full of 
bodges and questionable design choices and would definitely not fit into a 
lightbulb. It uses two B-5855s, two DM160 VFDs, two K155ID1s, and a nodemcu 
for NTP. I suppose the electronics could be placed in the base of the bulb, 
with the tubes in the bulb itself.
