The Nixie shield could be used to display any other 6-digit number (e.g. the number of subscribers to your youtube channel), and not necessarily the time. I just used the shield to make a clock, one of the simpler applications.FlorinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330573900125042405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-75142051615154409782020-03-15T15:09:15.445-04:002020-03-15T15:09:15.445-04:00Hi Jack,
The Nixie Shield requires an Arduino (or ...Hi Jack,<br />The Nixie Shield requires an Arduino (or any other board with a controller, for that matter) to drive it.<br />The timekeeping is done by an RTC, but you could also get the time from other sources (PC, through the serial port, NTP/WiFi etc.)<br />I think the easiest and most independent way is still an RTC as is DS1307/DS3231.<br />I have designed an Arduino-compatible board that has DS3231 on it, called, wsduino (also available in store), which is the easiest way to drive and control this Nixie shield.<br />I hope this helps.<br />Thank you.<br />FlorinC<br />FlorinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330573900125042405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-7309501463620444302020-03-15T14:11:49.545-04:002020-03-15T14:11:49.545-04:00So do you need an Arduino with an RTC to get this ...So do you need an Arduino with an RTC to get this running?
