I eventually completed the project described in this article. The result is not as neat as I expected and in particular I don’t like the two screws on the front panel but this is the best I could do.
The LED display shows the current time, the Google Adsense balance, the number of unread email messages and the number of people visiting a website I run (this data comes from whos.amung.us).
The display is driven by a PICLF628 microcontroller connected to the router through its serial port (check Rod Whitby’s post for details on the WRT54GS serial port).


Hi. I am Cristiano Cesaretto and this is my space to share with you how I spend my time: definitely programming, C# for 99% of the time. Other passions are electronics as a hobbyist, in particular experimenting with PIC microcontrollers. I also love flight simulation though I don't practice very much.
