Hi there,
I was interested in replicating your project for personal use, but I couldn't find anywhere in the repo the source files for the PCB and schematics.
Would you be able to upload them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tony,

I see you are working on an extraordinary project. I want to ask if this project is open source, in the sense that I can print the PCB that you made?

Thank you,
Rudini

Hi Tony, I would like to know, if the original PCB and schematic files, at least of the clock-face, are available, too, regardless if they are from Kicad, Alttium. Orcad or any other software. I have a lot of conversion possibilities. Background of this question: I have only (since many years) nixie tubes of the type ZM1020/QS30. So I have to adapt the clock-face board. I would save a lot of time, if I could start with the original Schematic and PCB-files. If you want, I can publish the results here.
By the way, I searched Internet for many hours for useful concepts for nixie tube clocks. Yours seems to be by far the best for me. Well-established, low cost hardware, precise RTC, controlled by Internet time, and comfortable settings via mobile. No multiplexed tubes and a secure way to handle the high voltage by single transistors. A very professional looking PCB and a compact design -seperate PCBs for controler and display! Nearly perfect for my wishes (beside the wrong nixie tubes :D)
I don't know, if this is allowed here: you can send it directly to me [email protected] too.

I'm trying to utilize the code in your WIFI manager server for RGB LED control. I've verified FastLED library to work with my hardware, however when I try to use this code, I dont seem to get any actual output on the GPIO pin. There is no data on the pin when I check with an oscilloscope. Data looks fine on the scope with FastLED.

I am able to successfully start the WIFI server, connect, etc... I can also see the terminal printout of the RGB selection when I choose a color on the color wheel. The only problem is, there is no data being sent to the pin....

I am using pin 25:
#define WS2812_DATA_GPIO 25

I've verified that I am hitting this case in the state machine with a terminal printout:

case CLOCK_MESSAGE_BACKLIGHTS_CONFIG:{
					;rgb_t rgb;
					rgb.num = (uint32_t)msg.param;
					if(clock_config.display.led_color.num != rgb.num){
						clock_config.display.led_color = rgb;
						// display_turn_on();
						ESP_LOGI(TAG,"SET_BACKLIGHT_COLOR()");
						// ws2812_set_backlight_color(clock_config.display.led_color);
						xTaskNotifyGive( clock_task_save_nvs );
					}
					}
					break;

I also attempted to call ws2812_set_backlight_color(clock_config.display.led_color); within that case to manually send data.

I (21195) ws2812: Received R:140 G:161 B:255 I (21205) http_server: POST /backlights/ I (21205) webapp: setting backlight! I (21215) clock: got new led color I (21215) ws2812: Received R:128 G:138 B:255 I (21215) clock: SET_BACKLIGHT_COLOR() I (21225) ws2812: Received R:128 G:138 B:255

Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks in advance

I think someone already raised this issue, but the discussion went silent. The Gerber file is still on revision 1 while all the other folders like the BOM, schematics, and photos are already in revision 2. Since there's no original project files, it would be really hard to update the PCB layout myself without recreating it from scratch. Would it be possible to update the Gerber files to Rev2? Thank you!!
