> I realize the Arduino makes an easy target, but why the hate?
Ah, I’ll go out on a limb (BTW, “hate” is probably a bit strong), but from my perspective it’s an old phart thing. The Arduino is so hyped up, it reminds me of Harley Davidson motorcycle owners. They seem to think theirs is the only one, the best, nearing cult status. On FleaBay they even advertise things like capacitors as “for Arduino” just to get the hits. Yes, I’m an old phart, and I still like to do things the hard way. To me, building a project is, or at least should be, more than plugging in shields and loading prepared libraries. I like to understand what I build, and put it all together myself. I still use assembly language for smaller projects. Since the nixie community is very much about old technology I assume there are probably a few more who feel that way. But each to his / her own……..
