In this second post about my Nixie clock, I’m going to show you how to drive those tubes with a microcontroller.
Inkscape is a very good opensource software for vector drawing and a portable version is available too. If you draw a line, you can add markers (arrows…) to it: But when you change line color, markers keep black one; you can’t indeed change their color using stroke and fill commands… Choose the line and, from Extensions menu, click on Modify Path – Color Markers to Match…

The following project was designed for a need: with my friend Davide I’m working on a model railway (Il Plastico di Davide e Luca): we needed to know how much current it uses to size our power supplies (booster)… The sensor For current measurement, I used ACS712 sensor from Allegro MicroSystems (here’s its datasheet). You can find…
A project I’m working on is a Nixie clock… in these posts I’m going to show its development!
For some time, I’m interesting in the different ways to build home-made 3d printers.
