Y.A.N.C. - Yet Another Nixie Clock

This project is the software part of a larger project that include nixie tube clock with no physical controls but only "web" access.

The physical construction will be publish on Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/)

The project is two parts:

Physical part - Nixie Clock

• 4 nixie tubes (IN-14) display
• Raspberry PI Model A+ (256MB) for main controller
• Custom nixie driver circuit and audio ouput (PCB)
• MP3 Playback for alarm
• Sound activated display (extented life of tubes)

Software part - Clock control and remote app

• Controler daemon for clock hardware control (Python)
• REST Server to interact with external world (look mom, no button!)
• IOS App to "talk" to the clock (Swift)

Simply put, this clock will look great, will sync itself on the Net and get it's alarms from my Google Calendar! :-)

More details coming...
