Sure. Fully exchangeable.

PIC16F887 firmware will be available by the end of this week. Next week I plan to publish updated firmware with alarm clock support. DS3231 implementation not scheduled yet.

Well technically for me (and for many others), this is possible even without "their" interaction. As long as HTML is allowed, nothing prohibits someone from embedding special "counter" code, which will do all that, without any load from main server. I

Nice idea. Interesting, are these honeycombs available made from brass or copper? it should give more luxury look to finished product...

Sorry I have no idea who's Dalbor Farny and what he does. I guess you refer to some Czech guy who homebrews nixies?

These hinges were used only during prototyping stage and are taken from old laptop. After I determined the proper angle, I've manufactured wooden insert, as shown on the pictures. I guess I should remove that hinges photo, because it seems to confuse too many people.

Also "Harlow bold" is quite nice match...

Yes letters will be backwards but you still be able to read them :) Letters were another layer, so when merged, this situation comes on. Plug and socket are for ICSP programming and if you check photos of assembled PCB, you will get answer to these questions :)

There is no exact matching font for this, because I've designed it based on several different design ideas. I'm not going to make this font public, but if you need some text, just tell me it, and I will "Write" it for you in that font and send you a file. Stylistically, the font "Magneto" belongs to same era, but outline and shaping is quite different, but you can give it a try.

Russian IN-4 can be bought for less than $3 per tube.

Also voting for that! I have drafted an impressive, 32 voice polyphony synth keyboard, which uses single, less than $2 cost IC for that :)

Agree. I have prepared an instructable, how to make precision, lab grade, thermostated orbital shaker, which costs more than $1000 new, but will cost you less than $100 with my design :)

"no advanced tools" contest. Many authors, including myself, are using advanced machinery such as 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC and so on. Not everyone can afford or have them, so I guess, some simple contest like "Show your best while using only hand tools" would be great, as it will be much more easy others to repeat it.

I live outside of US, but I can provide an US forwarder address, and they will take care of delivering my prize to me. I used this when I won instructables prize back, and I guess, it will work for higher rated prizes too, right?

Thanks! I forgot to include it, but now, files.zip updated with b/w stencil for pcb, rotated and mirrored, ready for print.

Thanks! If it wins, I'll post even more amazing project - how to change glow color of your nixie tubes - make them glow green or pink!

Thanks! please check pm.

Sure? any reference on info about that?

Can I enter a "Tape Contest" with instructable that uses so called "carbon" vinyl adhesive sheets? I'm asking because while it is technically a tape, it comes in sheets, not in rolls :)

Thanks a lot! We're currently designing another Nixie clock, this time with mega-rare PINK nixie tubes and unique design, blend of baroque and streamline moderne. Expecting to finish it in 2-3 months.

What is current regulation of entering one instructable into several contests? Someone said you can enter up to 3 contests with 1 instructable, but I just tried, I can't enter more than one. I think, this should be added to rules somewhere.

Pictures in Step #3 show how frame is assembled, including nixie tube installation.

Thanks a lot, here's sneak peek :)

Hello. I want to make a MCM style nixie clock for a contest and want to put stylized text in 60s style saying "instructables" on it. This is not a commercial product and I don't intend to sell it, I'm making it as a birthday gift for a friend. I messaged Randolfo but got no reply from him. So is it legal or not?

Great work but here's a quick tip how to improve amount of light emitted and make it look even more realistic - use another tube, thinner, not transparent, but milky white, and put it inside your tube, so when you illuminate it, it will glow just like real plasma :)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'm just a very amateur photographer, getting used with this lens just now, will try to take more astonishing samples tomorrow :)

Just got this problem, windows 10 64 bit, microsoft edge browser...

Super simple, but practical, thanks!

Is it possible to get other support of AptX, AptXLL, AAC, additionaly to existing SBC codec?

There are several reasons for this: First of all, I want to stick with available 5V USB chargers, because everyone has one. 2nd, for my knowledge, there are no charger boards which can do more than 2s charging from 5V input. So while I can design and manufacture a circuit which will charge say 4S from 5V source, number of people, capable of doing and soldering own PCB is far less there. So my ain is also to create a project, which is simple to repeat.

Thanks for the suggestion. This board uses G5177C chip, which has much higher efficiency, around 96%. My next instructable speaker uses 2s battery in connection with 15v booster. Coupled with 2x Pam8610 chips, it delivers up to 50w.

Way better written than mine, but usage of such low efficiency boost circuit should be avoided, there are much more efficient solutions available :)

Yes, my initial aim was to make something that is easily doable, without any specific tools.
