Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are IN14 Nixie tubes and how long do they last?
A: IN14 Nixie tubes are vintage vacuum-fluorescent display tubes originally manufactured in the former Soviet Union. They display numbers using a glowing neon-filled envelope. Authentic IN14 tubes used in this clock are known for excellent longevity — typically tens of thousands of hours of use — especially when paired with a tube protection interval (which this clock supports) to prevent cathode wear.
Q: How do I control the Nixie Tube Clock?
A: The clock supports multiple control methods: the built-in gyroscope motion switch (tap or tilt), the Android smartphone app via Bluetooth BLE V3.0, a mini-program (applet), or via PC using the MCU serial interface. This gives you full control over alarms, display customization, brightness, timing schedules, and more.
Q: Does the clock require batteries?
A: No batteries are required. The clock is powered via a Type-C USB cable at DC 5V — the same standard used by most modern smartphones and devices. Simply plug it into any USB charger or power bank.
Q: Can I customize what numbers are displayed?
A: Yes! Using the Android app or PC MCU software, you can set any custom digit sequence you'd like to display on the Nixie tubes (for example, a special date, a lucky number, or any numeric sequence). The clock also features a digit protection cycle to keep all tubes evenly conditioned.
