Nixie Tube Energy Meter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/news/46760-2/
John Whittington decided to build a Nixie tube energy meter to measure his house power consumption. An Arduino would be the microcontroller but I wanted the meter to provide some form of data stream for a web based energy history. To make it an IoT, I a paired ESP8266 with it. I used both together […]
