So is the above diagram correct or NOT?

The track in the original instructions is different.

Maybe if this picture by Skyraider is CORRECT then it should REPLACE the pictures in the instructions.

Just a suggestion.

Can you please describe in detail how you extended the range of the GPS? Very important to get my setup working.

Dr Firdaus Dastoor. { CALL ME pHIL OR fIRDAUS}

To those who have completed builds of the clock.

Can you give hints regards improving the range of the transistor.

Also any one have a source from which to purchase the appropriate 433 transmitter?

How does one start a new topic?

Is there a setting that will allow this forum to automatically inform me when a new post is made anywhere on this forum?

Thank you so much for your instructions regards the power controller switch. Your wiring modification works perfectly.

I spent days trying to figure out the problem with no success.

Dr Dastoor.

Dear friends, It would be nice if we could share our experiences with building Tony's latest kit the levitating clock. Any hints on building. Also problems noticed can be shared by us all. It would also help Tony by having him respond just once to the group rather than constantly sending individual ...

Tony,

unfortunately I have already removed the bad resistors and what I thought was a bad diode. I will reinstall new pieces tomorrow morning.

What should the voltages be across these 5V diodes?

I fear the transistors may be bad too. Is there a way to test them?

Some more measurements - this time of the Diodes; the diodes were checked by placing RED probe on side of diode marked by black stripe and the other end was probed with the black test lead. Voltages were as follows: 1] 14V Zener diode shows 12V 2] 5V Zener that is ABOVE the PIC shows 2.38V 3] 5V Zen...

I replaced BOTH 2R2 resistors. The Nixies do not work.

The voltage at the coil ends and all 2R2 and 6R8 resistors is 11-12V. What is the next step to troubleshoot the problem.

This was before the main board stopped working. as other pieces were glowing.

I replaced BOTH 2R2 resistors and now the voltage is 11-12V at All 2R2 and 6R8 resistors. The Nixie tubes however do not glow. What is the next step to troubleshoot?
