+
+## Overview
+
+This project implements a fully functional nixie tube clock using modern digital logic ICs. The goal is to have 6 digets, HH-MM-SS, and the ablilty to flash to MM-DD-YY to show date as well. There will be a button to intrement/decrement a selected number for time/date setting. As well as a button to pulse between time and date.
