Raspberry Pi Node-RED Nixie

A Node-RED flow on Raspberry Pi to drive a Cathode Creations IN-8-2 nixie display board, including both digit updates and LED control.
What I Built
I created a flow that can update all nixie digits, step values in from the left, and drive the board LEDs. The project includes setup notes and Node-RED import steps so the flow can be re-used without rebuilding from scratch.
What I Learned
The biggest win was keeping hardware control composable in Node-RED: once basic commands work, it becomes easy to layer in animation behavior and diagnostics without rewriting the full stack.
