WiFi NTP Sync Device for Nixie Clocks

- User Guide -

Introduction

On a factory power up, the device sets up in Access Point (AP) Mode. 

This is a wireless network that you can connect to with your computer 

or Smartphone. Once connected, you use your Smartphone to enter 

some simple configuration settings and then re-boot the module. The 

module then powers up in active mode, which will connect to your 

home WiFi network and retrieve the time and date from an NTP server

of your choice. Time and date are sent to the clock as a "fake" GPS
