Hi, Richard, I saw your board - how nice! While the ZM1350 smart socket PCB on groupsio helped me recreate the panaplex footprint, I am building my own board in full, to include the decimal point functionality. Means of driving (PIC with discrete transistors) is pretty much the same though.
I noticed you used an 8266 and Arduino in tandem - I know exactly how you feel, and have done the same thing on occasion. I recently switched to the ESP32 and am quite glad for having done so; while the 8266 is an excellent microcontroller, it is just too pin limited. The susceptibility to program crashing also irritated me deeply.
