Omnixie Ultra with R|Z568M | Omnixie Ultra 智能Wifi辉光钟

自从搬进新房以来,一直有计划设计两台大型的辉光钟摆在客厅与茶室。由于Z568M辉光管实在难以寻觅,故选用了捷克的辉光管大师Dalibor的R|Z568M辉光管。

R|Z568M辉光管直径53mm,高度125mm,Omnixie Ultra辉光钟底座长560mm,宽140mm,厚度15mm,所有功能与之前的Omnixie和Omnixie Plus完全一致,包括Wifi自动校时、手机控制、四国语音报时、自动亮度调节等等。底座是采用铝合金CNC一体成型,面版采用3mm岩板水刀切割而成,整体外观无任何螺丝,简洁大气。供电采用USB-C接口,支持PD和QC快充。

目前两台Omnixie Ultra已经组装完毕,摆放在了客厅的条几上和茶室的茶桌上,我们一睹为快:

Finally, I found some time to design and assemble an Omnixie Ultra with Dalibor’s R|Z568M tubes. Aluminum CNC base with new designed power supply, total thickness 15mm, USB-C powered, all direct drive with different anode resistors following R|Z568M instruction, NTP date and time sync, function settings can be performed via mobile phone or laptop. Have been looking forward to having it in my home since I moved into new house.

This time I made two sets, one with a silver base and one with a black base, and I plan to put them in the living room and the tea room, it will be the shining star in my rooms.

Omnixie Plus Smart Wifi Clock | Omnixie Plus 智能Wifi辉光钟

在去年三月发布了Omnixie以后,传统辉光钟的定义已被刷新,它不再是一个只是用辉光管来显示数字的普通单一的钟表,而是具有Wifi自动校时、手机智能控制、音乐铃声、四国语言报时等现代功能的智能时钟,且简单大方的纤薄底座,复古的北美黑胡桃边框搭配高光亮边的铝合金拉丝面板,得到了国内外朋友的一致认可。

After the release of Omnixie in March last year, the definition of the traditional Nixie clock has been refreshed. It’s no longer a simple clock that uses Nixie tubes to display number but has Wifi automatic adjusting, mobile phone control, music tones, four-language talking time and some other modern intelligent clock. It has a simple and generous slim base, the black walnut frame with high-bright edge aluminum brushed top plate, widely obtains the customer of the recognition and praise.

但由于尺寸的限制,18mm直径的辉光管并不能完全彰显辉光钟的可贵气质,所以自从Omnixie作品诞生以后,我一直在准备设计一款基于30mm直径的辉光管的Omnixie,最初的想法是除了管子变大以外,其余的尺寸均根据Omnixie的尺寸等比例放大,虽然很有挑战,但经过一年多的设计和开发,终于实现了这个想法,我给她取名为Omnixie Plus。

However, due to the size limitation, the 18mm diameter Nixie tube does not fully reflect the precious of the Nixie clock. Therefore, since the release of Omnixie, I have been preparing to design an Omnixie based on 30mm diameter Nixie tubes. The original idea is remaining dimensions are scaled according to the size of Omnixie. Although it’s very challenging, after more than a year of design and development, I finally realized this idea, I named  it Omnixie Plus.

Omnixie Plus在今年5月17日的美国加州湾区的Maker Faire 2019上已经正式发布,在详细介绍之前,我们还是按照惯例先睹为快:

Omnixie Plus has been officially released on 17th May, the Maker Faire 2019 in the Bay Area of California, USA. Show some pictures before we go into detail:

SHOW为古典的辉光钟、荧光钟做个完美的实木底座框框

都说古典的东西要穿实木外衣,经过精心设计的木框框,今天终于定做回来了。
开始为了选木材,研究了好多好多,泡桐、榉木、红胡桃、松木………
泡桐,较软,色稍浅,纹理不算太明显,不容易打磨光滑;
榉木,较硬,色较暗,纹理漂亮,但不易加工;
红胡桃,较硬,色较深,纹理漂亮,但表面不容易做的光滑;
松木,软,色较亮,纹理漂亮,很容易加工;
综合价格、软硬度、易加工程度,后来还是选了松木 Pin wood………
松木的纹理还算不错,而且这家加工的一致性也挺好,SHOWTIME:
