Raspberry Pi-Operated Nixie Tubes Make the Perfect Retro Display #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Is there a cooler way to display digits than with Nixie tubes? Farrp2011 on Reddit posted this project. Shared by Tom’s Hardware:
This Pi-powered Nixie tubes project was shared by a Reddit user known as Farrp2011 earlier this week. Farrp2011 used a Raspberry Pi 3 to connect to and control six individual Nixie tubes. The Raspberry Pi doesn’t have nearly enough outputs to control that many tubes. To work around this limitation, Farrp2011 used shift registers.
