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.



Wise Clock kit, ready to be assembled; requires soldering, of course.

  1. I read your post. You gave briefly explanation to install XBee module easily in Linux, those are shown in the pictures. Your xbee tutorial is a great post to understand XBee.
