Hi Michael, I'm also using the BU-353S4 on mine and it's working fine too. I believe that the software that David ships with the clock is looking for a 4800 baud rate with one NEMA message string update per second. Anything else is not going to play well. The code is on github (

OK then. There must be something unique about that older puck. Is it the 5Hz version? I notice that one is 115,200 baud vs the more common 4800 On Friday, March 24, 2023 at 1:50:12 PM UTC-7 Nicholas Stock wrote: > Hi Michael. I have the BU-353S4 on mine and it is working fine. However, > the

I have assembled one of the above, but have been unable to get the GPS to work. Has anyone had any luck with this and if so, what GPS receiver did you use? I ordered the recommended one, but received the BU-353N ( supposed the replacement for the no longer available BU-353-S4) and it wont work.

Thank you for all comments, had hoped for a few more though. It seems that most Nixie clocks nowadays are for showing the Nixies themselves and not for use as alarm clocks. The hunt goes on and I might cobble something together myself with the help from some kit. /Martin On Saturday, 11

Hello I’m thinking you might be able to 3d print a spacer if you have a 3d printer then glue it to the tube then put some conductive glue in the hole in the spacer where the pin is missing and then stick the pin in there that might help the little wire not break off again too On Fri, 24 Mar 2023
