    Yeah the software architecture won’t be pretty but it simplifies the hardware.

    Thanks for the comments guys. I found some code to drive the shield directly from ESP8266 at https://github.com/newkit/esp8266_nixie (not all the features of the shield due to limited I/O pins). But given the I/O voltage issue I ordered a RobotDyn Uno+Wifi board (Uno with extra 8266) instead, as it should just go together easier.

    I’m interested in using an ESP8266 with the NCS312 to display something other than the time. (I want to fetch the current output of my solar inverter and display it.)

    Does the NCS312 only work with 5V Arduino boards? Looking at the schematic I think this is the case. I would like to use something like the Wemos D1 board which is an ESP8266 in Arduino Uno footprint, but it has 3.3V I/O only.

    If so does anyone know any other boards that would suit directly?
