PIC Nixie Clock project

Well, GPS needs clear sky and DCF77 is not available everywhere. I am in Greece and do not receive it or at least not all hours of a day. Maybe if I relocate to a more open area with big antenna... That is not practical...

I am very interested in ways to use ESP to PBP projects. Have never used that little modules and am a bit afraid to touch them without a step-by-step tutorial. Especially on uploading new firmware and connecting to router and internet.

Incredible link Richard! Thanks a ton for that link. Exactly what a beginner needs.

Currently I have a couple of the attached modules. Are these any good for experimenting?

yes , the software is the same for any of them ,inc esp8285
you just need to chk the pinouts

Nice. Have homework to do...!

Thanks again,

once you go nuts putting web interfaces on your projects you look at a lcd or a tft screen and

say why bother with that limited old junk, all this on one nodemu 12f

It is my wish but don't feel very confident right now...

Exciting on your images you posted! I want it!

i'm no html expert and my code probably tortures things but who cares it works.
