This will be a great product. I am excited to see it when you make it available. I have a clock I would like to put together for my daughter, and one of your power supplies would be a great addition to the unit. Just curious if anyone else has volunteered for the other test units. Ron On

I'd be interested in purchasing one of these as well. A picture would be awesome. Ron On Sunday, August 11, 2013 2:21:33 AM UTC-4, Michel wrote: Same form factor as 1364. That is a jaw dropping claim. It is like 6 times more power than the 1364! I'd like to see a picture of that one.

I really like the looks of this project, it is something that I have been looking to build, if for nothing else, just to test nixies. Might you have an idea if/when you might be able to have this translated? I have tried using one of the online translation services, but most of the time it

I really like the features that you have listed for this board. I am interested in one for sure. I think I would have to add the GPS module as well, as none of my current nixie clocks have that feature. I am looking forward to seeing how your testing goes. Ron On Tuesday, May 21, 2013

I really like the idea of a very small board. This will make tucking everything inside a smaller enclosure be much easier. I know there are a few clock kits out there that use a fairly small board, like the glowingtech and even the Ardruinx kits. I would be interested to see how much it

You guys just made my day. I have a Nixie clock kit with a Dekatron that I am wanting to add a magic eye to help balance out the front of the enclosure I am using. I think this thread will help this project along nicely. Thanks guys. Ron Semper Fidelis. On Wednesday, May 1, 2013 9:56:29
