slipton got a reaction from RobG in MSP430 Nixie Clock
Hi All,
I just finished assembling and modifying this kit for my SO for Christmas. I put it in a vintage toaster from 1910. Works great and so cool! However, watch out for shorting anything while the clock is powered - I fried some transistors while playing around with it.
In any case, I made quite a few modifications and will post them here. I added the following components to the kit:
Arduino UNO I had lying around.
Random photodiode I had lying around.
Adafruit RTC module: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3013
Adafruit motion sensor: https://www.adafruit.com/product/189
I modified the code to use the photodiode and motion sensor to control the brightness of the display using PWM. I have attached that. It is not written with extreme discipline, but it works
Let me know what you guys think,
