This is a nixie tube display that interfaces with an
Arduino UNO computer board. This board
(also called a shield) uses a single IN-8-2 nixie tube which is NOT INCLUDED. The board was designed with the intent of
creating a single-tube nixie clock but could be used for any other application
needing a digital display. Caution – Nixie tubes are not low voltage devices like
LEDs. They operate at elevated voltages
that pose a shock hazard. Because of the
operating characteristics of the IN-8-2 nixie tube, this board has voltages of
175 volts DC and 200 volts AC. If you
are not comfortable and/or experienced with the safety measures required at
such voltages, then this product is probably not for you. The board requires a power input of 12 volts AC (NOT DC). A suitable plug-in 12-volt AC adapter from Jameco Electronics (#2179614) is NOT INCLUDED. On-board power supply circuitry provides 8
volts DC to power the UNO and 175 volts DC power for the nixie tube. The DC input connector on the UNO board cannot
be used. There is also an on-board 60 Hz
signal that provides accurate timing via UNO input 2 (Interrupt INT0). The IN-8-2 nixie digits are 17mm high (.708”)
with distinctive “2” and “5” digits (“5” is not an upside down “2”). It is bright and easily visible form across a
room. There is also a right-hand decimal
point. Two push buttons and a slide
switch are intended for clock setting purposes – see photos. Board size: 3.2” x 3.5” Buyer will receive: - The nixie display board (The Nixie tube, the 12-volt AC power adapter, and the UNO board are NOT included). - Hardware and instructions for mating to an Arduino UNO. - Notes on programming. - Full schematic diagram. Designed and made in the USA. Warning, this device contains voltages that pose a shock
hazard. Those that purchase and use this
board, do so at their own risk. USPS Shipping to U.S. only (no international shipping) Buyers may request, at no charge, my UNO program that
will create a single-tube nixie clock using this board and an Arduino UNO
processor. NOTE: I may have remaining listings on eBay this same board with both the Nixie Tube and the 12-volt AC power adapter included.
