RobG 1,892 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 How about SMD version of the clock? Little smaller, 3.25" x 4", one less IC. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very much looking forward to putting this together, maybe with some help from my nephew.Oh, and you sent me two extra Nixie socket pins. Want them back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abecedarian 330 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks @@RobG I assumed that was the reason for the additional pins. Was just trying to make a funny. The warning about high voltage is much appreciated- I've been bit by 240v before- not fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 @@RobG - Finished building it earlier, didn't get shocked to death fortunately, and it worked 'a charm' when powered up. I'm wondering, though, what the header connected to P1.0 was intended for...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 It was suppose to be 12/24hr switch (S1 change hours, S2 change minutes,) but then I decided to use S1 for function and S2 for value, so that header is unused at this time. abecedarian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abecedarian 330 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 For those who want to customize. main.c I have noticed that over the past weeks, the clock has lost about 2 minutes per week. Before diving into the code, is there anything you can suggest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Lower TA0CCR0 value (32767 default,) 32761 or 32762 should work for you. You could also change XCAP, but adjusting CCR0 should work for you (since the clock is slow.) abecedarian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
