I had the pleasure to design, produce and print @triad_city_beat new raglans. I'm still super new to design but I'm getting better. I'm extremely proud of this if you can't tell. So be sure to hit @brianclarey up if you need one. He ordered a bunch. And if you need a logo and/or print be sure to hit me up. #triadcitybeat #screenprinting #inkscape #design #greensboro #gso #supertex (at Supertex Liberty Industries)

Sí, señor! My #SuperTex tee has arrived, cabrones! Loved the shirt from day one and had to grab one! Hope you got those glasses, Brent McKenzie! Viva SuperTex! And God bless #Texas!

So here is the big reveal, folks... starting Wednesday I'll managing my our #screenprinting department at this company called SuperTex. Talk about a huge jump. These guys also want me to incorporate my #cutthemusicprints business in this as well. A partnership of sorts, so not only will I'll be handling big boy jobs, my own brand will finally have the support it needs to expand and finally has distribution. Started from ending up on EBT from being complacent with my situation and a bit depressed. Using that as fuel to take the dive. Investing in a beginner #screenprinting kit just only 3 years ago... a little help from #youtubeuniversity, madd fortitude, fine tuning my craft at @homestateapparel And here we are.

Realized I had almost everything I needed to build a Nixie clock.

With lots of cheating.

HV side is an old TDK backlight inverter, rectified and filtered. With the bleed resistor I'm using it floats to ~270v, and runs at about ~140v when driven with 3.3v, which is adequate if a bit low for these tubes.

HV switch is a Supertex HV5122 32-channel shift register, good to 225v according to the datasheet. The Nixie has a voltage drop of around 100v, so the 5122 should never see more than ~170v on its inputs in the worst case.

I'm trying a point to point wiring technique that ChaN invented (I think, never seen it anywhere else). The magnet wire insulation is perhaps a bit underrated for the voltages in use, so I may have to go back and re-do it with the more typical 30ga Kynar stuff if it ends up breaking down somewhere. I think it'll be ok though because only one of them should be conducting at a time, and the rest will be floating on open drains.

Green daughterboard is a GPS receiver module, because why not be accurate?

I'll probably tie this all together with an ATTiny1634; read the NMEA datastream from the GPS, extract the time field, write the appropriate bits out to the 5122. Alternately and more simply, I can implement a simple clock on the AVR and use the (theoretically pretty stable) 1pps output from the GPS to clock it.

All of this is assuming it works at all, of course.
