Buy Wise Clock kit

Updated May 14, 2011
This kit is DISCONTINUED due to the availability (and affordability) of glass domes. You can still build this project if you provide your own 4" (height ) x 3" (width) glass dome (found on ebay). To complete the WiseClock, you will need the Wiseduino kit and the LED matrix shield kit.
