	EasyNixie (uint8_t outputEnable, uint8_t shcp, uint8_t stcp, uint8_t dsin)
	This constructor takes 4 pin names as arguments, they are labeled OUT_EN, SHCP, STCP and DSIN on your EasyNixie module. More...
void	SetNixie (uint8_t number, uint8_t color, bool voltage=true, bool comma=false, uint16_t dimming=0)
	Set nixie digit/symbol on your EasyNixie. If you have multiple modules connected 'in series' (EasyNixie1 DSOUT->EasyNixie2 DSIN) the value is set to the first module in series(The one which has DSIN connected to the Arduino). To display the value set with this method use the Latch method! More...
void	Latch (void)
	This method 'displays' the digit that you have set using SetNixie, be sure to call it after SetNixie.

Detailed Description

The main EasyNixie class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EasyNixie()

EasyNixie::EasyNixie	(	uint8_t	outputEnable,
		uint8_t	shcp,
		uint8_t	stcp,
		uint8_t	dsin
	)

This constructor takes 4 pin names as arguments, they are labeled OUT_EN, SHCP, STCP and DSIN on your EasyNixie module.

Parameters

outputEnable	The microcontroller pin connected to OUT_EN pin of the EasyNixie
shcp	The microcontroller pin connected to SHCP pin of the EasyNixie.
stcp	The microcontroller pin connected to STCP pin of the EasyNixie.
dsin	The microcontroller pin connected to DSIN pin of the EasyNixie.

Member Function Documentation

SetNixie()

void EasyNixie::SetNixie	(	uint8_t	number,
		uint8_t	color,
		bool	voltage = true,
		bool	comma = false,
		uint16_t	dimming = 0
	)

Set nixie digit/symbol on your EasyNixie. If you have multiple modules connected 'in series' (EasyNixie1 DSOUT->EasyNixie2 DSIN) the value is set to the first module in series(The one which has DSIN connected to the Arduino). To display the value set with this method use the Latch method!

Parameters

number	The digit/symbol you want to display. The digits can be swapped if you are using non-standard nixies(not In-12/In-17).
color	Led color, checkout the Avalilable led colors, I should have probably used enum to avoid illegal arguments, but I am too lazy to rewrite and retest all the examples...
voltage	This argument enables the high-voltage convertor, be sure to disconnect the EasyNixie from PC, when you are calling the function with this argument set to true. You can flash the code with VPOWER pin disconneted, then disconnect the board from PC, connect to some external power source, then connect the VPOWER pin.
comma	Or the 'decimal point'. This argument controls the decimal point of In-12B.
dimming	Basically, just PWM on the outputEnable pin. 0 means max brightness, 255 means min brightness.
