Router hacking completed

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).
Now it’s time to move to the next project!
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.
