Emily<p>Just ordered parts for a very (very) old project of mine. I started this well over a decade ago to support a platform of different display types for clocks (my time nut phase.) It's unfortunately large to fit that format I had before. Moved from a PIC18 to an ESP32-S2-Mini and hoping to get back to my Nixie Tube Clock project. (Don't bother to google as never published it).</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> <a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/kicad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kicad</span></a> <a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/time" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>time</span></a> <a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://hackaday.social/tags/circuitdesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>circuitdesign</span></a></p>
