//
// Classic Nixie Clock with PWM fade in/out effect - Default
// Arduino Nano 33 IoT PWM default frequency value is too high 
// and "singing tube" audible noise may occur. 
//
// This example demonstrates how to set new time, display (time) digits or symbols 
// fade in/out effect and fade in/out backlight color effect.
//
// Hardware:
// ONE Nixie Clock Arduino Shield - https://nixietester.com/project/one-nixie-clock
// Arduino Nano 33 IoT - https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-nano-33-iot
//
// NOTE: For Arduino Nano 33 IoT use 3.3V power settings on the clock motherboard (VCC jumper)
//
// Nixie Tube Socket - https://bit.ly/nixie-socket & https://bit.ly/NixieSocket-Project
