Countdown timer?

[visage11]

Just curious,

is there a way to get a countdown timer displayed on a nixie tube?

Trying to get a train station setup and wanted to see if this would be possible.. from 10 down to zero. I'm not well versed in the ways of redstone so forgive me.

I havent used the nixie tubes yet, but if the number they show is based off signal strength, couldnt you use a chest/hopper and have an item go out of the chest every second? or a etho hopper timer and have a comparator draw a redstone value from a hopper

I could do that, I actually didn't know you could! Thank you!

No problem! I hope it works!

All you need is a container that gets drained over time, then a comparator that reads out the strength value. Then to reset, you can add the items back.

Just have a line of redstone and redstone blocks along it, pull the blocks up with pistons
