Sync your clock using WiFi

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi all!

A few months ago I developed, using the ESP8266, a device that would allow GPS enabled Nixie Clocks (mainly PV Electronics, as those were the ones I owned, but it is also compatible with Mr Nixie clocks and Nixie Clock Home) to be synchronized using NTP.

My early prototypes, though working, could easily fry the sensible ESP8266 because there was no protection the TX pin.

After contacting several manufacturers, Jürgen Grau (Mr Nixie) helped me develop the device to connect to the clocks.

After a few months of development, I'm proud to announce that this device is now ready to be sold.

Ian Sparkes made an excellent review at http://tubeclockdb.com/non-clocks/355-azevedo-nwts-build-and-review.html

If you're interested, you can grab yours at https://www.tindie.com/products/Mazevedo/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

Feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions or anything else.

Best regards,

Manuel Azevedo

I love this solution to not having a GPS line of sight !!

Hi all,

 

There seems to be some issue with the login data in tindie and the link I’ve sent won’t work.

 

You can order here for the moment:

https://www.tindie.com/products/mazevedo77/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

 

You can use the above mentioned URL until tindie fixes this and posts the old url:

 

https://www.tindie.com/products/Mazevedo/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

 

Sorry for the confusion…

 

Regards,

 

Manuel Azevedo

Hi again,

 

Sorry to spam again, tindie finally corrected the links.

 

So, the correct links again are:

 

nwts:

https://www.tindie.com/products/mazevedo/nwts-ntp-sync-over-wi-fi-for-nixie-clocks-kit/

 

 

store:

https://www.tindie.com/stores/mazevedo/

 

I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Hope it will not happen again.

 

Stay tuned on the store for new products.

 

Regards,

 

Manuel

Seemed obvious when I started to explore the GPS signal from PV Electronics module...
Never imagined that "this obvious" would land me in about 5 months to develop one product.

Hope you guys like it!

I also purchased this device! Very nice an easy to set up! DCF is very buggy and GPS only works near windows in my area... i'm glad this wifi sync exists!

For arduino-folks: This works with TinyGPS++ library, you just need to do change baudrate to 4800 in the Module, or 9600 in the code (better option).

Thank you Jonathan! Happy to know you are happy!

Hi folks,

One more happy user here... Have the nwts connected to a Jeff Thomas GPSII and will be taking a tube clock in to work shortly...  No GPS where I sit at work so this is a perfect solution for me.

Many thanks Manuel!

Just for the record, I ported TinyGPS++ to the MSP430 - not hard at all - just a bit fiddly....

Another happy user here! I got the small green Aprilbrother ESP Flasher  and flashed to Ver. 2.5. It works great and now I do not need to worry about DST!
