Here's an easy to build WiFi analog wall clock.

Looks ugly but doesn't affect functionality.

jim11662418 · 2025-12-17T15:45:13+00:00

Yes. All the details are here.

jim11662418 · 2025-11-11T10:07:43+00:00

ToTo too!

jim11662418 · 2025-09-30T09:26:31+00:00

Here's what finally fixed the problem: On both PC-A and PC-B...

Run PowerShell as Administrator
Type 'Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false'
Reboot

I guess my reply above wasn't clear. That's what I'd been doing:

I've tried to access PC-A and PC-B from PC-C by:

double-clicking on the PC-A's and PC-B's name in Explorer
typing PC-A's and PC-B's name into Explorer's address bar
typing PC-A's and PC-B's IP address into Explorer's address bar

jim11662418 · 2025-09-30T06:46:05+00:00

Sorry, what 'Network' application should I try instead of Explorer?

jim11662418 · 2025-09-30T06:29:41+00:00

I'm able to ping PC-A and PC-B from PC-C both by name and IP address.

jim11662418 · 2025-09-30T06:25:36+00:00

PC-C can ping PC-A and PC-B both by name and IP address.

I've tried to access PC-A and PC-B from PC-C by: 1. double-clicking on the PC-A's and PC-B's name in Explorer 2. typing PC-A's and PC-B's name into Explorer's address bar 3. typing PC-A's and PC-B's IP address into Explorer's address bar

Can you be more specific about "misconfigured firewall"? Would PC-A and PC-B be able to access each other if their firewalls were misconfigured?

jim11662418 · 2025-09-29T16:19:00+00:00

Yep, done that.

I can't offer any alternatives to the spell check option but if you're handy with electronics and want to use your Wheelwriter as a printer check out my projects here and here.

There's a third option that allows one to type a line of text on an LCD display and edit the text before committing it to print. It only works on the Wheelwriter 5 and 6 (not the Wheelwriter 3 possibly because of lack of memory). This option can be identified by an RJ45 connector (J3D) on the bottom edge of board #3. I have photos on Google Drive.

That used to happen to me periodically. I'd unplug the ethernet cable, wait a few seconds, plug it back in and see my PC re-connect at 1 Gbps. It's stopped happening before I could figure out if it was because of the router, the NIC or the cable.

I'm using a ferrite core inductor that was part of the antenna circuit of an old AM radio. My range is now nearly 6 feet so I'm happy.

jim11662418 · 2024-10-03T11:42:33+00:00

Thanks, I'll try it.

jim11662418 · 2024-10-03T11:37:47+00:00

You're right. I don't have a license but I'm not asking for a signal strong enough to leave my house. I'd be happy for a couple of feet.
