Nice work. I like the technique you use to align the tubes on the board. Where did you get the PCB holder, I like this one ! Again, well done ! I may get this kit based on your video.
The PCB holderI used in this video was purchased off EBay: www.ebay.com/p/12019103604 Hopefully that link remains functional. Otherwise you can Google "Circuit Board Repair Soldering Station PCB Plate Holder With Two Caliper Clamp Z" Thanks for watching!
Im just an electrician but want to try this kit out! That's why I don't quite get the Arduino part. If I buy the Uno version with the kit, is there an USB included with the program? I don't code that much..
Hi Somnium, just an electrician??? Don’t sell yourself short sir! You’ll probably shock yourself way less than I did during this project :) Step 1: You can buy the kit in the links and program the Arduino with the firmware version provided by the manufacturer. No coding knowledge required. Step 2 (optional): if there is still gas in your tank then you can dig into my version and features link internet time sync etc...
A list of the factory can be found here: gra-afch.com/product-category/shield-nixie-clock-for-arduino/ and then I added some things covered in the final build video, but yes it does do the date and room temperature .
Hi, I have a T12 clone like this one: amzn.to/34T9pBG It works really great at this price and has convenience features like auto OFF/Standby and temperature boost. T12 tips can also be changed quickly without a tool. I believe a 60W iron should do the trick, you may run into some stubborn large ground pads that are hard to flow.
The specific kit version may have been updated at since I produced this video but the manufacturer still makes the NCS314 shield: gra-afch.com/catalog/diy-kit-for-nixie-tubes-clocks/diy-kit-for-shield-nixie-tubes-clocks-in-14-ncs314/
Thank you so much for doing this! I purchased one of these and was overwhelmed with it. After watchin this, I think I'm ready to start building mine!!
You are very welcome! 🙏
Built a few of these and just use sockets for the tubes. Perfect fit every time.
The choice of Steins Gate led me to this video

Hi there(didn’t mentioned your name😊), thanks, great video, lol your work. How long it took you to solder all the parts?
Oh probably 3 hours or so
@@buildxyz Thank You
Could you make one that’s a dice roller instead? I’m looking for a Nixie tube 7 die set roller for playing dnd
What feauters does this nixie clock have? Just clock or date too? And anything else?
Thanks

what wattage is your soldering iron? is a 60 watt good enough for this job?

It seems the I'm unable to locate the specify kit you used. Which one is it?

@@buildxyz ah thank you so much. I attempted to navigate their website but managed to only find a kit that was near $600, lol.
@@a6o932 I bought it from their EBay store, they have 2 stores, have you tried there?, it was more in the $200 range if I recall correctly.
😍👍
