Hi all, wanted to share this in case it's for any use to anyone. Here's a git repo that has all the schematics/boardfiles/firmware for the Ramos Nixie Alarm clock I produced years ago. I used ULN2003's to drive the tubes and hundreds of these clocks have been out there for over 5 years now going strong. The tubes were IN12's, and I used a PIC18F microcontroller.

Hope it helps anyone out!

I didn't know about these. How did you sell them?

We started a kickstarter in 2012 and sold a couple hundred pre-orders. Then spent a year figuring out how to produce them. Then sold it on an online store till a couple years ago. We could never get the money to work, we only could break even.

Paul,

Wow! These are beautiful! This is really nice! I had not seen this before. It looks very interesting. How did you do the cases?

Glad you like em! Loads of woodworking. We used a CNC to do some parts but most was just lots of basic woodworking. You can checkout our old instagram page for pictures of us making them: https://www.instagram.com/ramosalarmclock/

Thanks Nick! We set it up ourselves after we raised the money ourselves. Most work was on table saw, cnc router and a router table.

What CNC did you use? A shapeoko or something much more industrial?
