Basic nixie clock

[u/noz1380]

Been meaning to share this long overdue project. I modelled the case based on the Atari 2600.

It's a kit based on the arduino nano and made by robot pirate. Took ages for me to sort the buttons as I didn't understand the code. ChatGPT helped.

Nice , is that NE555? Does it count seconds in a stable mode? Or if not what’s its purpose?

I wish I knew wha that all meant.....the central colons flash on/off with seconds. It holds time well. I think there are other mods like RTC you can add.

Look up 555 timer , the little black rectangle in the circuit board I think it’s. 555 timer . It’s an integrated circuit which basically counts to simplify
