I recently finished making my own Maple LED Clock. It only took five tries! Check out all the details here!

I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to actually check the results from my Mailbox Monitor project, and I think I’ve got it figured out. I’ve got a really cool OLED display that’s been burning a hole in my workbench, and I think that, coupled with an extra XBee module and a Freescale S08QE32 microcontroller are just the ticket. All three items are 3V devices with low-power sleep modes which will conserve battery consumption. When a packet of data comes over the XBee module, I will notify the microcontroller, which will then blink a couple obnoxiously bright LEDs for a minute or two to let me know something new came in. I push a button, and the OLED turns on and shows me the latest info. This could also be tied in with other sensors around the house, as XBee used a mesh communications protocol. Should be neat!
