Re: Clock Died

Apologies for the late reply, a direct email would be faster as I don't always check here. Have you tried another 5V supply?. After that it would be check the current being drawn and that 5V is reaching the PIC, also if anything is getting hot. If the nixies flash on then T12 and the PIC are probabl...
