In this third blog post, I’m going to show you the logical view of my Nixie clock and two of its main elements: the real time clock, to keep track of the current time, and the expander, to add more I/O lines.
Logical view
Here are my clock’s main elements:
- A power supply with 5V (for Arduino and modules) and 170V (for Nixie tubes) outputs;
- an Arduino Mini;
- a touch-sensor module (will be described in a following post);
- an RTC module, connected via I2C bus;
- an IC to add some I/O ports to Arduino, connected via I2C bus too;
- four 74141 Nixie tube drivers;
- four ZM1177 Nixie tubes.
In the next page, some details about two of those elements…
I get :error:
PCF8575_Led_rolling_Demo.cpp: In function ‘void loop()’:
PCF8575_Led_rolling_Demo.cpp:24:8: error: ‘class TwoWire’ has no member named ‘write’
PCF8575_Led_rolling_Demo.cpp:25:8: error: ‘class TwoWire’ has no member named ‘write’
I able to compile by change it for
Wire.write(low);
Wire.write(high);
to
Wire.send(low);
Wire.send(high);
but still now a blink from any of the LED’s. Are you using any resistor? I”ve tryed it using just the pcf8575 anf an arduino board, no RTC module. Is that doable and if so what I’m I doing wring?

Hi
You’re probably using an older (< 1.0) version of Arduino IDE… anyway you don’t need a RTC module for this example, could you post your connections so I can check?
Cool demo. I have some questions http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,100097.msg750764.html#msg750764
Hello!
I’m trying to build a circuit with a RTC and a PCF8575 .
It happens that the RTC does not tell the correct time.
There must be some conflict.
The code I’m using to test is this:
#include // Librarie from Henning Karlsen
#include
DS1307 rtc(20, 21); // Indica em quais pinos o RTC está conectado.
static byte tabela1[] = {1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128};
static byte tabela2[] = {128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1};
long millis_antes = 0;
void set(byte b0,byte b1)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(0×20);
Wire.write(b0);
Wire.write(b1);
Wire.endTransmission();
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(38400);
rtc.halt(false); // Inicia o funcionamento do RTC.
Wire.begin();
//Todos os pinos OFF
set(0,0);
}
void loop()
{
if(millis() – millis_antes > 5000)
{
millis_antes = millis();
Serial.print(“Horario: “);
Serial.println(rtc.getTimeStr(FORMAT_LONG));
}
for(int i = 0; i 0; i–)
{
set(tabela1[i],tabela2[i]); // Apenas o pino 1 ON.
delay(100);
}
set(255,255); // Todos os pinos ON
delay(200);
}
The LEDs blink correctly, but the time printed on the serial monitor is:
Horario: 27:85:85
I have tested your code and the same thing occurs.
Any suggestions on what might cause the problem?
Tank you.

Sorry for english.
The code does not appear correctly.
Here’s a link to it.

Best regards.
Hi Fernando,
are you using an Arduino Mega?
