Nice clock! In my circuit, the USB data lines are not connected to the MCU. Actually, I expect that the negotiation will be done by the FT230X (USB to basic UART IC), maybe I’m wrong. When plugged in, the device should only consume a few mA, I will delay powering on the nixies. For the HV, I

The PC should see the board as a COMx connected over USB, so the software (C#/.NET) just has to send some WMI data (CPU load %, Disk usage %, …) to the serial interface… sounds easy :-) The software should be a service, so the data can be sent even when nobody is logged in. And I would like to
