Ice Tube clock troubles
I have just finished my ice tube but something has happened. My display is only appering for some of the numbers. I have fixed any clod solder joints i could find but still only some of the numbers are showing, could anyone tell me what went wrong. Also I have checked and i do have near perfect voltage on everything inclding the VFD chip

Re: Ice Tube clock troubles
If the voltages are good and the tube is lighting, you have all the components installed correctly. Usually missing digits are caused by a solder joint problem somewhere between the VFD chip and the tube itself. Post clear photos of the solder-side of the boards & we will take a look.
Also a photo of the display, so we can see which digits are missing.
