Newxie brings the joy of nixies without the 170V power supply ๐ก๐ฐ๏ธโจ
If there's one thing that melts our hearts, it's a nixie clock - we built one 20 years ago!
but nixies are hard to find now that we don't hit up the MIT swapfest at 7am anymore
Swapfest is a huge electronics, tools, technology, amateur radio, and gadget flea market held on the third Sunday of every month from April
well we saw this funky faux nixie clock

and realized they're just using the same 1.14" TFTs we stock already
Say hello to our 1.14" 240x135 Color TFT Display w/ MicroSD Card Breakout – we think it's T-F-Terrific! It's the size of
so why not re-spin the breakout into a skinny right-angle-mount version? Instead of card edge, we have 2x7 right angle headers - both rows are the same contact, but this way, we get more mechanical stability. We kept the level shifting to work with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers but dropped the micro SD card. You could stack these side by side on a breadboard with as little as 0.7" pitch!
