EasNixy, a $19.00 Arduino-based Nixy tube driver, aims to resolve the challenges associated with working with Nixy tubes. Designed and engineered by Aleksei Karavaev, this device, adorably named EasyNixie, is touted by him as 'a simpler and safer way to drive Nixies'. In a recent...

LED Bar graphs are one of the best ways to provide visual feedback to users in projects where using a screen might be an overkill. Especially in projects where you need to indicate level, intensity, and other values that are worth representing on a bar graph. The quality of LED bar...

Nixie tubes need about ~180Vdc to light up and thus on most devices, a DC-DC converter is needed. Here we designed a simple DC-DC switching regulator capable of powering most of Nixie tubes. The board accepts 12Vdc input and gives an output of 150-250Vdc. The module is based on the...

Nixie tubes are always fascinating. Nowadays they are mostly used for clock displays, such as the project in the May/June 2016 issue of Elektor. The ‘Nixie’ bargraph tubes for analogue readout in the form of a column of light are less well known. Strictly speaking, they are not...

The NIXLER is being built as an open-source project and designed with the DIYer in mind. I've included a USB to UART chip directly on the board making the NIXLER easy to reprogram. This together with the onboard ESP32 microcontroller with wifi/bluetooth, enables full customization. Hook...

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...

NixieTherm RGB, an IN-13 tube indoor thermometer (DIY kit or assembled) with build-in true RGB controller; powered by 5V USB A Russian Bargraph-Nixie-tube shows similar like in the good old time a mercury thermometer the room-temperature with a variable glow hight lenght; however with...

Build your own Nixie tube clock/thermometer/display with ease. by Grisha Anofriev @ www.hackster.io We set out to create a Nixie clock or just an information indicator on the largest ex-Soviet IN-18 tubes as an Arduino shield-compatible with both Uno and Mega boards. After a long...
