OpenNixie was born with the aim of creating an open project development platform around all types of Nixie Tubes. A platform that condenses the future with the past. The IoT technology with the famous plasma tubes in a miniature and modular design.

OpenNixie is a BLE and Wifi platform for different applications. It was originally designed as a RTC with an Internet connection, but later became a universal platform with many applications. This system is based on the ESP32-WROVER-IE Module, includes a 170V power stage and can be powered and programmed directly through the USB-C connector.

Some of the features that the OpenNixie platform includes are:

• Dimensions are only 30x60mm
• Wifi and BLE connected
• Modular design: it can be used for different Nixie tubes shapes and applications
• USB Type-C for power and programming
• 4 1N-12A + RGB lights as a default Nixie extension board
• 1 general pourpose button for control the platform
• An internal accelerometer to interact with the display

OpenNixie has been designed as a modular platform. This means that the control PCB can be connected to any PCB with Nixie tubes, so the applications are unlimited. At the moment the V2 version has been tested with a base for 4 1N-12A Nixies with RGB LEDs and SPI expansion.
