Hi, Thanks a lot to you all, who replied here and voted on my web site. Now I'll try to answer open questions and add a few more info about this display. To Brian: Yes , I know we are all busy with our current projects and we can add more choices to select on poll, but it just lets me know if

I have noticed several of these clocks appear on eBay latey. They look really neat, but I certainly do NOT like the led time zone indication. What is that please? Why not use neon bulbs for that? This particular model shows up from time to time. It was one of the few nixie clocks actually made

How do you know that, do you have suck a clock? If so, I wonder how the mechanism for changing the time zones works. And it was intended for this to spell do you have SUCH a clock, I did not mean to call you a clock sucker, even though it is Nixie tubes in there ;-) Jens -- You received

Group; I would love to hear your suggestions on the best way to keep a microprocessor controlled clock accurate. The micro platform I'm using is an Arduino; which has a crystal bundled onto the board, but it's not near accurate enough for a clock. From my reading of this group there are RTC

Steve, Since you are using an arduino, you might as well use an RTC shield for the time functions. Setting up the arduino with a new Xtal is basically going to cost you close to the price of a premade sheild. I know it will cost you about $10, but the time savings alone in programming
