Hi,

I’d like your 10 spares please :) £20 . anyhow if your a stinge you can ask maxim for 5 samples of 6921 just dont take the piss and only ask once every 6 months. I couldn’t find anything else near as perfect. I used a PIC b’casue thats my way, anyone having problems with accurate time I suggest u get a RTC (also maxim sample) so it can keep time indep. off a v2-3bat

Cheers for the inspiration

This is a really great project. I have 10 of the IV-18 tubes ready, but am having real trouble finding the other ICs. The MAX6921 VFD driver and the DS32KHz are really hard to source in the UK.

Would be really great to have a seller (maybe eBay) that has packs of each component for this build.

At the moment, I am looking to get some parts from the US, and the rest from 2 different UK suppliers.

Would love to hear from anyone else that has built (or is building) one of these.

Why the schemmatic does not match to the code? Wrong input of 32kHz, wrong WFD wirings. Wery angrying and more hours spending project of nothing. Do not recomending this!

Hi Rimmerak,

To program the Tiny2313 you can use a simple parallel wringler.
Please check out this : http://www.scienceprog.com/simplest-128-atmega-programmer/

For the .gsch file, this is a Geda software file : http://www.gpleda.org/

Hope this helps.

Hello jkx. I have bought itron IV-18. I want to make a clock like you have. But I´m not electromechanic. I thought, that I make PCB and plug the parts, but I found that I must programate Attiny 2313. It is unbeatable problem for me. I realy don´t know nothing about this dilemma.

Can you tell me some advices?

PS: I can´t open “iv18-clock.gsch” . What is it in this file? PCB image? I have eagle software and it can´t open this file.

Thanks for answer. My mail is rimmerak@gmail.com
Sorry for my english, Im from czechrepublic.

Hi Jkx Ive started building your clock and notice in the schematics that on the Attiny, pin 10 is usually grounded and pin 20 is usually Vcc, is your schematics correct in this regard or should I add pin 10 and 20

also is that a (not)Vcc in the pin 1 reset?
