Clock with VFD display based on STM32 MCU. Displays time, date and temperature.
As a display i used an old VFD tube IW-18 (IV-18). Device displays time (hours, minutes and seconds), date and temperature. Clock is based on STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller and it was programmed with HAL libraries. To boost voltage to required level I used popular SX1308 step-up IC.To power VFD display filament with alternating current i used L293d H-bridge with single transistor serving as simple NOT gate.
Schematic and PCB were designed using KiCad. You can find schematic in PDF format in PDFs folder of this repository.
