NIXIETUBE CLOCK
Nixieclock #1
A clock made with four "kindly glowing" nixie-tubes, right back from the
1960s
This version however is built in 2002 and it is microprocessor controlled.

This is like an old dream to me. Ever since I saw the first "scrolling
led sign" l have wanted to build one. Now I have built one module with
8x32 3mm green hi-intensity leds. This small "sign" works great! The only
thing left is a nice case!
My next plan is to build more similar modules that could be mounted side
by side and then get a larger sign. Maybe 80x30 cm. I'm also thinking
of a PCB-design with 2 color SMD leds on one side and driver logic on
the other side. |
PC2DMX INTERFACE
DMX output and +5v input to the left, RS232 to the PC to the right.
The goal with this project is to control a lightning system in a discoteque
from a computer.
As I'd like to use an old and slow (=cheap) computer and as DMX requiers
quite fast datatransfer, I've choosen to use a design with two microcontrollers
(PIC 16F84) and a dualport RAM. One CPU talks to the computer via RS232
and stores data in the RAM-chip. The second CPU reads the RAM and outputs
the DMX signal.
STATUS UPDATE 011129:
The hardware is working but i still much too busy to write a working PC
software. I would also like to have some time to test DMX communications
with one of the "new" faster pic's (16F87x) with internal UART. |

camera.
Pictures will be added later. |
PIC DEV-BOARDS
 
PIC16x84-board to the left and PIC16F874-board to the right
These are two small "Vero-projects" that I use very much! Every time I
want to test some PIC software I use one of these boards instead of building
the whole circuit on my breadboard. Each of these boards have a powersupply,
some buttons, leds, RS232-levelconverter, socket for I2C-EEPROM and I2C-RTC
etc. (And ofcource socket for the CPU and an X-tal) |
MicroDMXDesk
** NEW 2004-02-11**
A small DMX ligthdesk. I plan to use it as a backup-desk or maybe a small
desk for controlling light on small stages.
Based on a PIC16F874, it has 6 faders for channels and one master, flashbuttons,
a 4 character display and 3 function-keys. Everything seems to work but
I have to work a little bit more on the software. I'm planning to implement
a "patch" so the 6 faders can control up to 36 DMX channels. |
DMX2VISCA
** NEW 2004-02-11**
A interface between a DMX lightdesk and a Sony EVI-D30 PTZ camera.
Once again a PIC16F874... I use a MAX3110 UART for the camera communication
and the internal PIC UART for receiving DMX. Almost ready, only some more
software features is still needed. When ready this interface will make
it possible to control a videocamera the same way a moving-head is controlled.
This interface reads several DMX channels that is converted and transmitted
to the camera: Pan, Tilt, Pan-Fine, Tilt-Fine, Zoom, Focus, Speed and
Command. 16bit movements, speed and command-channels are still to be implemented.
The command will be used to control camera power, reset, autofocus and
other parameters like exposure and backlight compensation. |
DMX RECIVER / DIMMER
- No picture availiable yet -
Based on a PIC... Now my receiver reads a DMX signal and displays the
selected channel values on a 1x40 LCD display. There are much work to
be done before this is a working gadget but the receiver code is working.
My first thoughts for this project was to build a DMX to PC interface
but now I'm more into building a digital dimmer... When (if?) I get the
time... Recently I've been playing around a little with phase control
in a pic. Quite interesting...
Update 2003-12-03
I've started to work on this project again! I've now got a working circuit
that reads DMX and outputs changed values to a computer (RS232).
This circuit is the same that I use in my DMX2VISCA PTZ-Camera-controller.
(see above!)
I'm also thinking of bulding a DMX to Strobe controller and maybe the
dimmer I've been thinking about in several years... |
