Github Nixie Pendant Logo(1)

A DIY, wearable pendant made from an IN-16 and quite a few boards

[!CAUTION] This project contains high voltage electronics, It could concevably kill you and it will hurt. Don't leave children unnatended and exercise caution

Key Voltages

LV: 3.3v, HV: 170v

Planned electrical stackup

This is in order of closest to tube

  1. Socket PCB
  2. Control PCB
  3. High Voltage Generation PCB
  4. BMS board
  5. Programming/Charging board
  6. Battery

Folder Layout

  • bms/ - Board files for the BMS (Battery Management System), handles lipo charging and safe discharge, usb & battery cutover and power regulation to the LV rail
  • socket/ - My bootleg IN-16 socket, very simple. just pads and holes. but like, this should hold the tube in (probably)
  • PendantLib.pretty/ - Shared part footprints

Questions

What parts does the SOCKET use?

14 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the SOCKET KiCad files?

From the devramsean0/Nixie-Pendant-Archived repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SOCKET/SOCKET.kicad_pcb and its schematic BMS/BMS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SOCKET design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask devramsean0 before reusing the design.
