Seemed obvious when I started to explore the GPS signal from PV Electronics module... Never imagined that "this obvious" would land me in about 5 months to develop one product. Hope you guys like it! On Wednesday, 7 December 2016 14:55:00 UTC+1, Jon D. wrote: > > I love this solution to not

What I have in mind is a huge display (well, 12 inches ;)) showing 'Sauron eye' looking in the direction of an approaching person. The orange long P19 phosphor would be perfect for that. Alternatively the Matrix like effect with the clock face made of symbols brighter just enough. And moving

> Marcin, what 12 inch tubes do you have? I also have a 12" electrostatic deflection CRT, a Thomas K2261P7. I also have an oddball small one (also Thomas), a 1E36P20, which is a tiny electrostatic deflection unit with a 3/4" or so screen and, unusually, post deflection acceleration. I think

That's a beast! 10KV on the PDA. I'll let Grahame chime in on whether the add-on will work with that tube, but I think it should do. I have a couple of similar 12ACP19 tubes that I'm hoping to make a clock out ofnot your average desk clock either..;-) On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 4:43 AM, Marcin

Hi all! A few months ago I developed, using the ESP8266, a device that would allow GPS enabled Nixie Clocks (mainly PV Electronics, as those were the ones I owned, but it is also compatible with Mr Nixie clocks and Nixie Clock Home) to be synchronized using NTP. My early prototypes, though
