D-Meat<p>The amp uses the SGVU151 kit and IN-13 tubes. The audio part uses the ELA21306 board, as its power matches the speakers I want to use. It's okay for the moment, but I might swap if for something better if I want to revisit this project one day.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/arduino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arduino</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/nixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nixie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/nixietube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nixietube</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/nixieclock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nixieclock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/amplifier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amplifier</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/VUmeter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VUmeter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cnc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/lasercutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lasercutting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Conceptart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Conceptart</span></a></p>

D-Meat<p>The clock : it uses german Z5600M tubes and 4 small neon lamps, the brains are an Arduino UNO R4 Wifi with the Arduinix (<a href="http://www.arduinix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">arduinix.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) shield. It connects to my Wifi Accesspoint on startup and every friday to (re)synchronize.
