About: I am a student from Beijing Forestry University


I like the Nixie Tube very much, but it is too expensive,I can't afford it. So I spent half a year creating this Gixie Clock.Gixie Clock is achieved by using the ws2812 illumination to make the acrylic light.I do my best to make the RGB tube thinner.In order to add more fun, I used a magnetic design, and my friends thought it was very fun.I have set 7 lighting modes in the program and can adjust the color of the Gixie Clock at will.
