    Nixie tubes can add a unique retro vibe to your project but they can run a little high price-wise. If you want to get that cool vintage vibe out of your Raspberry Pi project without all the added cost, you should take a look at this creation from maker and developer Yakroo. If that name sounds familiar, hes the mastermind behind the neat cyberpunk Pico neck watch we recently covered. Today, [12:06] schestowitz were highlighting his Pico Nixie clock which uses LCD displays instead of expensive Nixie bulbs.

    Sanglay was kind enough to share a full breakdown of the hardware inside. Hes using a Raspberry Pi Zero W that's connected to a 2.8-inch LCD touchscreen for video output. It has a power switch, USB hub with two ports on the side for external peripherals, a power boost module for the battery, and some 3D-printed components to help hold everything together.
