Nixie Hat for Raspberry Pi you can find here.

For better understanding what the Nixie Tube Shield is, please take a look on the video below.











PYTHON CODE
Driving nixie tube by Raspberry Pi is very simple. The Nixie Shield use only five Raspberry Pi pins. Take a look at the following code.
More code examples you can find on github.

Raspberry Nixie Shield Python Basic Example
The Nixie Shield is compatible with Raspberry Pi: 1B+, 2B, 3B, ZERO, ZERO W.
This example shows how to control any nixie tube with a Raspberry Pi using Nixie Shield
Nixie Shield uses five digital outputs to drive nixie tube.
Pin 29 as on/off (EN) line, 31, 33, 35, 37 as an address (A, B, C, D) of nixie tube digit/cathode.
This example code is in the public domain.
