DIY KIT for IN-18 Nixie Tubes ClockBoards and Electronics parts WITHOUT TUBESUPS Express delivery is highly recommendedEconomy Shipping is very slow and unreliable Project «Divergence Meter» has modular system, so you can build Clock with 4, 6 or 8 Tubes To build Cock with 6 Tubes you need one MCU Control Board NCM109 and Tubes Board NCT318 To build 8 Tubes Clock you need additional one Tubes Board NCT818 To build Clock on 4 Tubes you need cut the Tubes Board along the line (as shown on photo) DIY KIT is compatible with Arduino UNO, it allows you to write your own unique programs on the Arduino platform All the latest sources are always available on our github.com/afch/NixieClock PCB Design Schematics Case and Software made by GRA & AFCH example of assembled IN-18 Nixie Clock (glass Columns are sold separately) Listing includes:Tubes NCT318 and Control NCM109 Boards Bare PCBsSet of Electronic Parts and Components for NCT318 and NCM109 BoardsSet of Hex Spacers and Screws for NCT318 and NCM109 BoardsSet of Socket Pins for 6 IN-18 Nixie Tubes (included with the KIT)NE2H Neon Bulbs for Dots – 3 pcs (2 Neons for Dots and one spare)Principal Electrical Schemes for NCT318 and NCM109 BoardsBOM Lists for NCT318 and NCM109 BoardsUser Manual on vintage style paper Power supply is NOT included buy it separately: www.ebay.com/itm/182053434777 *The MCU board support a variety of tubes, such: ZM1042, Z522M, Z566M, Z5220M, ZM1040, Z5660M, B566M, LC-631, IN-14, IN-18, IN-12, IN-8, IN-7, IN-1, IN-2, IN-4, IN-8, IN-15, IN-16, IN-17 to use this tubes You need appropriate tubes PCB(s) Dear customers! If you have ANY questions, PLEASE ASK us Software Features: Clock support many kinds of Nixie tubes (4 tubes [hh:mm], 6 tubes [hh:mm:ss] and 8 tubes [HH:MM:SS:uu**/Temp]). ** – shows 100’s and 10’s of micro seconds. 12/24 hour format. Date format 6 tubes: [DD:MM:YY] and tubes 8: [DD:MM:YYYY]Slot Machine (Anti poisoning – tubes saving function. Increases the service life). Unique RGB LEDs backlight with 16,7 million colors. Very easy to switch LEDS off/on. As alarm sound clock uses standard RTTTL (Nokia format) melodies, so You can easy change it. (included songs: mission impossible, we wish you). Easy updating firmware via USB using Arduino IDE. Software based on Arduino sketch, so MCU has Arduino bootloader within. Power On Self-Test (POST): LED backlight, tubes and sound. You can check firmware version at the end. Unique detailed tube test – our soft check each segment on every lamp. Distinguishable to see segment failure. Hardware Features: Special schematic that prevent “blue spot” effect inside IN-18 tubes Full static displaying mode No flickering High brightness High contrast High precision Real Time-Clock chip DS3231SN Integrated High Voltage Power supply 150 – 220V 3 PWM channels for RGB LEDs 8 bit per channel = 24bit = 16,7 million colors. It can be disabled in the menu (see manual) Test points for testing, adjust and control low and high voltage circuits Pads for internal buttons and terminals for external buttons Pads for internal USB connector and terminals for external USB Terminals for internal and external power connector 2 dots column with separate controls upper and lower dots (sold separately) Power consumption: 12V, 1000mA (Recommended power source: voltage 12V, current 1-2A) MCU board NCM107 has world smallest size: 100 x 50mm Tubes board NCT318 size: 264 x 50mm Tubes board NCT818 size: 94 x 50mm Actual photos of the DIY KIT: Tubes board NCT318 Tubes board NCT818 MCU NCM109 bare board (top)MCU NCM109 bare board (bottom)Assembled MCU board top side chartAssembled MCU board bottom side BARE PCB Tubes board NCT318 top side: Bottom side: Bare tubes board NCT818 (top) Bare tubes board NCT818 (bottom) Boards Dimensions in 2D and 3D MCU board NCM107 PCB Top view MCU board NCM107 PCB Bottom Tubes board NCT318 in 3D Tubes board NCT818 Dimensions of NCM107 in 2D Dimensions of NCT318 board Tubes board NCT818 Example of using this boards: MCU board NCM107 with NCT318 MCU board NCM107 + NCT318 with glass columns (sold separately) MCU board NCM107 and NCT318 with additional NCT818 board MCU board NCM107 + NCT318+ NCT818 and glass columns (sold separately) Example of assembled clock (without case) On IN-18 tubes Lot sold WITHOUT tubes with glass columns (sold separately) with glass columns (sold separately) See our video presentation of Large Nixie Clock IN-18 by GRA & AFCH Operating instruction Shipping and Return information All Items are shipped from UkraineVia International registered AirmailShipments are made within 1 business dayAfter the payments are received and verifiedIt takes about 4-7 days via UPS Express deliveryIt takes about 10-18 days via Standard shippingIt takes about 35-45 days via Economy shippingWe combine multiple Items to save on shipping UPS Express Shipping time (recommended):Europe:3-5 daysGermany:3-5 daysUSA, Canada:4-7 daysAsia, South America:5-7 daysAustralia, New Zealand:5-7 daysAfrica, Central America:5-7 days Standard Shipping time:Europe:10-12 daysGermany:10-12 daysUSA, Canada:10-15 daysAsia, South America:10-18 daysAustralia, New Zealand:12-18 daysAfrica, Central America:12-18 days Economy Shipping time:Europe:25-30 daysGermany:25-30 daysUSA, Canada:30-35 daysAsia, South America:35-45 daysAustralia, New Zealand:45-55 daysAfrica, Central America:45-55 days Return PolicyAll Returns are acceptedFor Return you should contact Us within 14 Days after receiving the ItemRefunds are made as Money back or Replacements (buyer’s choice)Return Shipments are paid by the buyerNo restocking fees are charged Customs PolicyWe as a seller do not receive from the buyer any charges any sales taxes and handling fees.In any case we are not responsible for Tax(VAT) or any other Import duties or any other equivalent fees that arises upon delivery.Please consult with your local Customs legislation and visit your local Customs department or website before making any purchases.
