Hello. I live near the coast and my air humidity is pretty high, usually it's around or above 50% on warmer days and maybe even higher if it rains. While I store my nixies in containers with a few silica packets, the nixies that are built into clocks are exposed to the humidity. I'm wondering

The extra board is an NRF24L01 dongle. I plan to use this radio for wireless accessories planned for the future, such as a motion sensor and remote control for the menu system. Since the ESP32 has WiFi/Bluetooth on board, the microcontroller's internal radio will be used for getting NTP to update
