I built a clock like this earlier using ancient OSRAM smart displays, but I wondered if the ESP8266 Arduino code was fast and flexible enough to run a six-digit multiplexed Nixie clock. Because I had done this with my earlier clock, I added the a Bosch...
My first take on the LED nixie was to solder 7 segments together in free space using heavy gauge wires for the supports on the bottom segments and the finest wire I could find (10um diameter!) for the others thinking this would look most like a Nixie...
