A new page has been added under Electronics/Power. It explains in depth how to build a circuit that will act as a automated battery backup switchover. It will take you from a naive approach all the way to the state of the art. Click here to access it!

New page: Automatic Backup Battery Switchover

A new tutorial is available! It will teach you how to control a nixie tube with an arduino and discrete high voltage transistors. Access the tutorial I published another tutorial a while back on the same topic, but using old nixie drivers instead. As these drivers are unreliable and no […]

Scotty Allen is known on Youtube as the creator behind the “Strange Parts” channel. His video about adding a headphone jack back to an iPhone 7 went viral in 2017 and he has gathered over a million subscribers since; doing all sorts of interesting projects in relation to electronics. In […]

Scotty “Strange Parts” Allen Trinocular Microscrope Review

Ever since I build my first nixie clock using old 74141 drivers that aren’t produced anymore, I’ve wanted to build a new one using a more modern design. A lot of people design Nixie clocks with multiplexers and high voltage transistor arrays but these introduce a complexity of their own: […]
