Using the Web App
You can use any good-quality charge & data USB cable to connect your nixie clock to your computer or
phone/tablet. The interface uses drivers already built into modern operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux and
Android) and the WebUSB feature of Chromium version 61 and newer
–
no additional software is required.
When your nixie clock is connected, use Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Opera Browser to visit
and click on the Connect button at the top right of the page. A dialog will appear listing all of the compatible NIXlabs
devices found - choose your device and click connect. Upon connection, all of
the device’s settings are loaded from
the clock to the Web App. The Web App is arranged with tiles to group similar features, and the settings in each tile
can be saved to your clock by mousing over the tile and clicking the send button that appears at the top right. If
you adjust a setting using the device’s buttons whilst you are connected to the Web App, the page must be
refreshed in order to update the controls on the settings tiles.
An overview of the Web App showing major buttons and features is included in the screen capture on the next
page.
