Safely working with High Voltage circuits.Here is a concise list of assumptions I am making - that you are experienced in: I am making these assumptions because otherwise the extent of detail in the project would become prohibitively large. This project is not simple and I am going to make a LOT of assumptions about your technical background and abilities. I eventually see this project being able to access APIs and displaying information such as your Doom frag-count, the current chance of rain, or even the Universe Heat Death For this flexibility, it seemed the Raspberry Pi would fit the bill seeing as it has plenty of grunt and connectivity.
This is where the Project Name 'Nixie Driver HAT' came from - a play on the name 'Perma-Proto Pi HAT'. My inspiration and motivation for this project was borne out of an Adafruit Perma-Proto Pi HAT Build Night that was being run by my local Hack Space () on one of our Open Evenings. Instead, I thought it would be great to build a 'Display of Things' that could do a lot more. I decided that just doing a clock was too common and not very flexible. They've recently become popular with gadget enthusiasts and commonly come in the form of a 'Nixie Tube Clock'. These alpha-numeric displays use a gas mix consisting mainly of Neon and a small amount of other gases and show the alpha-numeric digits using shaped metal cathodes. Everyone loves a bit of Retro technology, and in this case I've fallen in love with Nixie Tubes, which are high on the awesome-scale for being old Soviet Russia tech that we can still get our mitts on and make cool retro displays.
