This one finishes off the hardware discussion and starts going into software techniques.

Thanks!

Protip; don’t bypass the nixie anodes, the drivers don’t like it. :-/

And compared to what? May I also be so churlish as to point out the fucking strap-on FLAME THROWER up the page? Rail guns? Air cannons?

How about just using, say, a 555 under it?

electric shock is what most people refer to when saying they or someone they know was electrocuted, I got kicked out of 9th grade Science for pointing that out to my teacher and refusing to accept his incorrect usage. Good times.

Just thought I would point that out, cool shield by the way.

@Brian, thanks, glad you like the project.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a zap, but nothing too bad.

The tubes are inexpensive and they add a level of retro-depth that an LCD just doesn’t have.

@Matt – maybe a little bit of a shock, but it isn’t that bad :) It just stings a little bit.
