Hi All,

Thought I would share these


No affiliation to myself but though they were pretty neat, as you can have your own year of Birth put on the front.

Best wishes,
Paul

Borrowed the graphic out of a Philips (Amperex/Mullard/Valvo) datasheet, for a ZM1000:

OMG another sick idea popped into my head....I should make an extra wristwatch PCB and attach it to my shirt rather than my wrist.
Technically it's not a nixiewatch, but it is 7-segment neon so that's close-enough in my opinion.

Still in debug; the 3.7 to 150V DC-DC converter isn't lighting all 4 digits reliably yet and I havn't enabled the clock-chip.
Not sure if I would wear it in the rain, though.

That's a great idea!

Coincidentally, we have a "light & colour" themed year end party coming up in two weeks at work, and when I got the announcement I'd thought how nice it would be to have some clothing-friendly nixie boards (clock? Random number? FLW?) to sew onto my costume. But of course there was no time to do anything. Hope you come up with something nice!
