[Engineer2you] built a nixie tube clock and claims it is the simplest design. We felt like that was a challenge. In this design, the tubes are set up as a matrix with optoisolators on each row and ...

To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

While it seems like Nixie tubes get all the attention when it comes to making retro-style displays, there are plenty of other display technologies that can make a good-looking retro design. Take the ...

The Basic Stamp Homework Board (BSHWB) microcontroller, the PIC16C57, is a surprisingly useful and somewhat powerful microcontroller which I decided to choose for designing a binary clock, along with ...

We have seen quite a few different geeky clocks here on Geeky Gadgets, and the latest one is a simple yet clever idea, the ‘Design Your Own Clock‘ clock. Basically, the Design Your Own Clock is a ...

Here’s an interesting concept for an alarm clock, the Smash Alarm Clock from designer Matthias Lange. When the alarm goes off in the morning, just smash the alarm clock with your fist and the alarm ...

The importance of timing requirements and jitter budgets for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs. How to utilize the information portrayed in a clock tree to choose the most well-suited clock generator for your ...
