The firmware running on the clock: Firmware
A small Gist to configure a STM32 toolchain on Mac: Toolchain
To flash the controller a STM32 Programmer is needed, just get the cheapest one from China.
Before the clock will actually start working, it is necessary to set the type:
nixie_settype <type>
nixie_settype <type(0-4)>
Where <type>
is a number defining the nixie clock type.
- ZM1000
- Z570M, IN-8
- ZM1325
- IN-14, ZM1020
It is also required to set the mode of operation:
nixie_setmode <mode>
nixie_setmode <mode(0=NONE|1=HHMMSS|2=HHMM|3=MMSS|4=YYYY)>
Where <mode>
is a number defining the nixie operation mode.
- HH:MM:SS
- HH:MM
- MM:SS
- YYYY
The clock has seperate control and display pcbs. Those pcbs do not only form a basic case for the electronics, but also allow for flexible use with different tubes.
