Something a bit different! A digital clock made with a reclaimed mahogany case, and electromechanical seven-segment modules that started life in a petrol pump. :)

  Digital clock code for Arduino Nano and Nano 33 IoT, to drive nixie or LED matrix displays

Indeed, it's the inversion part I need to figure out. I've seen some displays with two coils for each vane, one for each direction, so it's just a matter of applying that transitory power to one or the other; but with just one, some kind of H-bridge is required, and really the challenge is how best to implement that with a reduced component count via multiplexing (e.g. driving one digit or one vane at a time). I maintain an Arduino clock program that already supports various display types – just need to find the time to figure it out and add support for these too!
