EasyNixie: a simple digitron controller

EasyNixie – simple Nixie tube driver for Arduino and DIY projects

EasyNixie by PROKYBER is a compact module designed to make driving Nixie tubes easier, without the need to design your own high-voltage circuitry. It only requires low-voltage input power and a few control pins, making it suitable for Nixie clocks, measuring devices, retro displays, and other microcontroller-based electronics projects.

If you want to build a Nixie-based device but do not want to waste time on a complex power supply design and difficult wiring, EasyNixie solves that problem for you. The module combines simple control, Arduino support, and the option to daisy-chain multiple modules in a single project.

Why choose EasyNixie?

• 3.3 V or 5 V input power – the module generates the high voltage required for Nixie tubes on its own.
• Controlled using only 3 data pins – a 4th pin can be used for dimming.
• Daisy-chain support for multiple modules – ideal for multi-digit displays and Nixie clocks.
• Arduino support – a library is available for faster project integration.
• Compact solution – fewer external components, cleaner design, and easier assembly.

Typical applications

EasyNixie is suitable wherever you want to use Nixie tubes as a stylish display element. Typical uses include DIY Nixie clocks, desktop indicators, Geiger counters, retro radios, and custom electronics projects with a distinctive vintage look.

Compatibility and technical details

• Compatible Nixie tubes: IN-12, IN-15, IN-17
• Input voltage: 3.3 V to 5 V
• High-voltage output for tubes: up to 200 V
• Control logic: 74HC595
• Designed for Arduino and other microcontroller platforms

Important notice

EasyNixie makes building Nixie-based devices much easier, but it still works with high voltage. This is not a toy or a plug-and-play module for careless use. It is intended for users who know what they are doing and follow the basic safety rules of working with electronics.

EasyNixie is a practical choice for anyone who wants to build a functional, cleanly designed Nixie tube project without developing everything from scratch.
