The cables I have are not good enough for the power these LEDs uses. They are probably rated for 12V at 1A, and this is 6A.
My LED kit I bought wasn't designed correctly. The LED strip they used is 6A and the power supply they provided is 5A. If you were to add the controller to it, it's way over the AMP rating of the power supply. Because they didn't design it for the AMPs that is being used, it melted and I ended up th...

PiTroller is my new project, the LEDs you see there have been replaced with better ones but you get the idea.
Here is a video of it working.

The code for the clock is pretty much done. I made it really simple to communicate with all the different nixie tubes. You simply call the function bool Nixies::initialize(unsigned int theSerialPin, unsigned int theSerialClockPin, unsigned int theRegisterClockPin, unsigned int theNixieCount) on th...
