PIC Nixie Clock project

[Art]

Hi, Nice idea to get rid of the chip that you don’t want and replace with your own board
If the ESP module getting the time, then the DT elapsed timer is really just cycling through the tubes?

On EEVblog, a YouTube channel if you watch it, Dave is in the middle of a nixie project now I’ve been watching.

Hi Dave,

go check out the thread over on espbasic... http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=11518

and check out his code... he does a better job (simpler code) of determining DST yes/no for the ESP8266
Note: the following bit of code is not PICBASIC it's espBASIC

[calculate_DST]
dow = time("dow")
day = time("day")
month = time("month")
hour = time("hour")

if ((DST = 1) and (dow = "Sun") and (month = "Nov") and (day >= 1) and (day < 8)) then
 DST = 0
 write(DaylightSavings,str(DST))
endif

if ((DST = 0) and (dow = "Sun") and (month = "Mar") and (day >=8) and (day < 15)) then
 DST = 1
 write(DaylightSavings,str(DST))
endif

return

and to others... if you haven't checked out and played with mike's awesome espBASIC you are missing out

Here is the webpage that his code creates for the analog meter clock...
