Arduino IN-14 Nixie Clock with a DS1307 RTC
GreatScottLab @ instructables.com shows us how to build an Arduino Nano based Nixie clock that features DS1307 RTC clock and 4x IN-14 Nixie tubes. He writes: In this project I will show you how to create a retro nixie clock. That means I will show you how you can control nixie tubes...

David Johnson-Davies writes about his experiments with interfacing a low-cost serial GPS module directly to uLisp, to create projects such as a GPS clock. He writes: I’ll also describe a GPS speedometer and odometer, and a simple navigator, in later posts. The module I used is the...

Recreating the look of a 60's CRT display with small LCDs. By Paul Bricmont @ hackster.io: My design uses six 1.44-inch TFT LCD displays to display NIMO-style digits. These small LCD displays are cheap (around $3.50 US each) and use the ST7735 chipset and SPI bus. To drive the...

Simple LED matrix Clock based on the popular ESP8266 with Real Time Clock module and time synchronization over WiFi from an NTP server. One note on the RTC module, apparently it also has the ability to charge the battery, however that's not a good idea when using a CR2032. One possible...

Here is a new tutorial from technoblogy.com on how to run ATtiny85 with internal 20MHz clock. The ATtiny85 is rated at a maximum clock speed of 20MHz at 4.5 – 5.5V. For some applications it would be nice to get the maximum speed without needing to buy a 20MHz crystal, or tie up two...
