    5LO38i oscilloscope clock - YouTube
    A new design for my oscilloscope clock that uses a scan technique similar to a raster to draw the display
    in pixels, century font style. Built in wifi module to connect to your network if selected, for auto time & date set.
    A Mini Oscilloscope Clock made with a
    5LO38i (Soviet) 2" round
    CRT. Homemade, not a commercial product. This measures about 5.5" W x 6" H x 9" D.
    The clear acrylic shroud is
    not attached, but sits loose on top of the plexiglass base.
    The board has pots to adjust vertical & horizontal height / width, focus, astigmatism, brightness, and
    vertical and horizontal centering.
    Automatically sets for 50/60HZ. The display alternates every ten seconds between digital and analog style. Display also moves
    slightly every six seconds to help prevent "burn in" of the crt. The microcontroller and all chips are in sockets for easy replacement, and all
    the components are
    replaceable/repairable with some soldering skills and basic component identification
    .
    This "old school" tech has been salvaged from obsolescence
    by marrying it to new digital tech.
    It is an
    entirely homemade/handmade product, including the base and shroud, which I thermoform from plexiglass stock, and
    the firmware the microcontroller is programmed with, which
    is my own original code.
    Below are the operating
    instructions. I will ship it anywhere in the world, but I
    cannot be responsible for problems and/or delays caused by
    customs in your
    country.
    International buyers,
    please send your address for a shipping quote. It can be set for operation on 120VAC (U.S. standard) or 240VAC (some
    other countries)
    It is an entirely
    homemade novelty craft project from my workbench.
    Some points of interest:
    All the components on my clocks / kits are replaceable/repairable because they are all standard size, not SMT
    The IC's or "chips" are socketed so they can also be replaced easily, even by the layman
    In many cases, I will repair the clock free for any reason if you ship it back to me - i.e., if a component fails or is damaged (except the tube(s))
    All of my clocks use standard electric service (do not need a separate power supply) and most can be set for 120VAC (U.S.) or 240VAC (others)

    Instructions for OSC7.0:
    When the scope clock is plugged in, the blue led & the small led on the module should light immediately.
    To set time manually, press the "slow set" button once.
    The relay should click on, neon light should light, and in a few minutes the screen should display time.
    Press slow set button again to start, and use fast set & slow set to set the time.
    Toggle button will toggle the display on & off, just press once.
    To connect the clock to your network via wifi, start from power on, unplug and wait a few minutes if it's already powered on.
    From power on (blue led & led on module lit), press "fast set" button to enter AP mode.
    Use your device to look for the AP "WifiModule" on your networks.
    Connect to this AP, and when connected, open your browser and type "192.168.4.1" in the address bar.
    Enter your network name or SSID and your network password.
    Click "Submit" button and the confirmation page should appear.
    Within a few minutes, the clock should connect to the network and the neon bulb (high voltage) should light.
    If the clock doesn't connect after several minutes, try resetting the chip by pressing the miniature button on the ESP32 board
    marked "EN" or alternatively, just unplug the clock and wait a few minutes, then plug it back in and it should connect.
    The time should appear. If incorrect, press the "fast set" & "toggle" buttons simultaneously to refresh the time.
    From the clock face screen, press slow set & toggle simultaneously to display the day & date.
    From the date screen, press fast set to return to the time screen.
    From the date screen, press slow set & fast set simultaneously to enter the Menu screen.
    In the Menu screen, use fast set to select the line indicated by the arrow, and use slow set to
    change the selection.
    When the Menu settings are correct, press toggle once to exit and return to the clock face screen.
    From the clock face, press fast set & toggle simultaneously to refresh the time.
    To set the sleep/wake times, press fast set & slow set, and the screen will appear for setting the "on" time.
    Use fast set & slow set to choose the display on (wake) time.
    Press toggle once to enter the "off" time screen.
    Fast set & slow set to select the off time, and toggle once to exit to clock face screen.
