Russian VFD Clock

 

This display looks very nice, if you are interested in building one (and can find the Russian VFD) the device pinout and code for the controller is available on JKX@Home.

“After my nixie clock, I decided to build a new one based on a old VFD vacuum tube. In fact, the brother of a friend (which live in Ukrainia) give me a bag of tubes. Beside I already have a little set of this kind, I discover the IV-18. This one, is really big, and perfect for a clock. As you can see this is quite large, and really nice looking. I spent a little time to figure out, how to make it working (reading russian isn’t really easy). After sending a mail to the NeonNixie group, Chris help me to fix my issue.”

Thanks JKX
