This Nixie Clock DIY Kit offers a captivating journey into the world of retro electronics and contains everything you need to assemble a luminous vintage-style masterpiece. At its heart are 4x IN-12 Nixie Tubes, whose mesmerizing neon light displays the digits with a charm reminiscent of the golden age of technology.
Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both artistic expression and technical challenges, this kit allows you to create something truly special. Each tube operates with an ignition voltage of approximately 170 V, generated by an internal boost circuit. Although this high voltage produces the characteristic glow effect, it also requires careful handling. For safety reasons, it is recommended to use a glass cover (not included) during testing and operation to shield the components and avoid contact with exposed wires.
The assembly is as rewarding as it is complicated and requires a careful approach and a variety of tools such as soldering iron, solder, pliers, tweezers, multimeter, knife and screwdriver.
This DIY kit contains all components including 4x IN-12 tubes and a remote control. Please note that the glass cover and base are not included.

The Picon Zero is an add-on for the Raspberry Pi. It has the same size as a Raspberry Pi Zero, making it ideal to function as a pHat. Of course, it can be used on any other Raspberry Pi via a 40-pin GPIO connector.
As well as two full H-Bridge motor drivers, the Picon Zero has several Input/Output pins giving you multiple configuration options. That allows you to easily add outputs or analog inputs to your Raspberry Pi without any complicated software or kernel-specific drivers. At the same time, it opens up 5 GPIO pins from the Raspberry Pi, and it provides the interface for an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor.
The Picon Zero comes with all components, including the headers and screw terminals, fully soldered. Soldering isn't required. You can use it right out of the box.
Features
pHat format PCB: 65 mm x 30 mm
Two full H-Bridge motor drivers. Drive up to 1.5 A continuously per channel, at 3 V - 11 V.
Each motor output has both a 2-pin male header and a 2-pin screw terminal.
The motors can be powered from the Picon Zero's 5 V or an external power source (3 V - 11 V).
The Picon Zero's 5 V can be selected to be from the Raspberry Pi's 5 V line, or a USB connector on the Picon Zero. That means that you can effectively have 2 USB battery banks: one to power the servos and motors on the Picon Zero and the other to power the Pi.
4 Inputs that can accept up to 5 V. These inputs can be configured as follows:
Digital inputs
Analog inputs
DS18B20
DHT11
6 Outputs that can drive 5 V and be configured as:
Digital Output
PWM Output
Servo
NeoPixel WS2812
All Inputs and Outputs use GVS 3-pin male headers.
4-pin female header that connects directly to an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor.
8-pin female header for Ground, 3.3 V, 5 V, and 5 GPIO signals allowing you to add their additional features.
This book contains 50 fun and exciting projects for PIC microcontrollers such as a laser alarm, USB teasing mouse, eggtimer, youth repellent, soundswitch, capacitive liquid level gauge, 'finger in the water' sensor, guarding a room using a camera, mains light dimmer (110-240 volts), talking microcontroller and much more. Several different techniques are discussed such as relay, alternating current control including mains, I²C, SPI, RS232, USB, pulse width modulation, rotary encoder, interrupts, infrared, analog-digital conversion (and the other way around), 7-segment display and even CAN bus.
You can use this book to build the projects for your own use. The clear explanations, schematics and even pictures of each project make this a fun activity. For each project the theory is discussed and why the project has been executed in that particular way. That means you can also use this book as a studybook, or as basis for larger and more complicated projects. All projects use a breadboard so modification and expansion is easy.
Three PIC microcontrollers are used, the 16f877A, 18f4455 and 18f4685. It is also discussed how you can migrate your project from one microcontroller to another – 15 types are supported - including two example projects.
All software that is used in this book can be downloaded for free. That also applies to the open source programming language JAL. This powerful and yet easy to learn language is used by hobbyists as well as professionals.
This book can also be used as a reference guide. It explains all JAL commands, as well as the expansion libraries. Using the index you can easily find example projects that illustrate the use of these commands. Even when you have built all projects in this book you will still want to keep it within arm's reach.
This bundle is all about designing projects based on the 555 timer IC. The book features over 45 fully tested and documented projects. Together with the kit, which contains more than 130 through-hole components, you can build all the projects described on a breadboard. The setup also makes it easy to modify and experiment with the projects.
