Vanilla - NL-7153 Nixie Eye Upgrades! (EZ-B + ArduiNIX + MinM) [Sattelite]

Upgraded Vanilla's eyes from standard-size IN-4 Nixies to the larger and quite rare National Electronics NL-7153 Super Nixies. Digit height is now 20.5 mm vs 17 mm for the IN-4's.

Also added a BlinkM MinM I2C-Controlled RGB LED to each eye for dynamic back-lighting. The BlinkM's are running the Thunderstorm script throughout the video but will eventually be controlled and scripted for emotive effect...
