I guess we'll find out how well this was implemented. From what I can tell
the pinout on the tube looks like a Male 1mm DIP arrangement with a
standard 2.54mm pitch.

Anything in the base other than the ability to modify the pinout is too
complicated. In $100 nixie, do you want a 50 cent, esd sensitive part
controlling the useful life of the tube? The base is already too tall and if
it's because of a funky circuit, it's a mistake.

This verbiage on their page makes me think they have a driver in the

Fair point! Perhaps some of your ICs are non-genuine, and have different
speed oscillators? It seems very hard to explain!

I’ve used both versions to divide the 32768Hz signal down to 1Hz and I’ve never
seen one which didn’t output 32768Hz on that pin. I usually use a pullup of
som1-10k and then use that signal with anything from CMOS to TTL or
microprocessors like Arduinos and I’ve always gotten a very stable
So.
The DS3231M datasheet specifically says it's internal clock output is
32.768kHz (https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS3231M.pdf)
whereas the other datasheet for SN (
https://docs-emea.rs-online.com/webdocs/0f6e/0900766b80f6ec88.pdf) says
its' clock should be 32KHz.
So the two
Hello.
One more thread on the subject of knock-off components...
I use cheap RTC modules that use a DS3231 RTC chip (ZS-04). They are
satisfactorily accurate and I haven't had surprises in their internal
calendar.
Today I measured the 32K output, which is supposed to be 32768 Hz, even
though the
I am also interested.

The campaign offers 1, 4 or 6 tubes for a “personal project”.
On Facebook Millclock said that even with the electronics in the base, the
tubes can be used directly without their software just like a conventional
nixie.
So it’s not as proprietary as I expected.
The normal IN-18 socket
I did a question on Kickstarter to the builders about the tubes. I suggested
that since they are using a PCB base that it would be more attractive to offer
a pinout equivalent to the IN-18 in the circular pin outline instead of the two
straight rows. This way the tubes could be used in
There was a large quantity of what was claimed to be IN-18 production
equipment and consumables offered (for an absurdly high price) on ebay
a few years back - it was dicussed on here at the time but the current
price of tubes made uneconomical to consider.
Maybe if they bought or had access to
Looks professional, lets see how this comes out. The original IN-18 was
manufactured in Sovejet Union in the town of Rovno, which is now ukraine... as
far as i know, the last IN-18 were made in 1992, only 26 years ago. There might
be the possibilty that they found people that actually were
