For the want of a better name [:D]

MySignal (mark 1) is a proggy I made to constantly show the Signal Strength in an analog manner from a MyWireless Modem.

Great to walk around with the modem (or antenna) looking for the best signal.
It also shows the Base Station number, Battery health and Signal to Noise ratio.

Just unzip to any folder and double click on the MySignal.exe and it will create an icon on your desktop for future.

Comments ?
 
eh? yea, whats the point if your usb cable is only SO long

plus... ;) how do i connect this damn ethernet cable? winxp users are dumb (yes, i just called myself dumb)
 
Just in my study I improved from 19% to 24% by moving around to find the best spot [:)]
 
maybe i should make a little lcd display that plugs into the modem to read the signal strenght etc
 
cool prog proasm.

now all i need is a modem, an account and an active base station then i can use it.

BRING ON THE CAPE TOWN STATIONS!!!!![:p]
 
Thanks, Asm, you are a Pro!

I get readings like yours, but now I have to find a way to hang the modem from the ceiling and to suspend a tea tray behind it. [;)]
 
Update to version 1.1 - bug found when using in Windows98 - Config menu was not working correctly.
 
cheese and rice!!!
this is kewl!!

sentech should ship it with the friggin modem!!!

WWCD?

Now more sensitive and battery was not showing true value.

Regarding the source - lets wait a while as I'm not sure where I stand with it atm [:)]

Thanx Proasm, if you could supply a component (yes, i live in a component world still, call me old school), it would be great.


I would like to incorporate it into a webpage or a monitor to check when during the day my signal goes down, and up and so forth.

either way it would be great to learn how the device works

I havent mentioned it, but nice proggy. I Dont know if you have seen a little utility called filesplit (or splitfile, cant remember which way around), it is simple, and precise, does exactly what one needs. I rate your proggy in the same category. Less bulk, to the point.

<br />PRo, is there any way of interfacing with the modem over PPPoE ?

I dont want to sound like an idiot, but i prolly will.
But wouldnt the modem have to run some kind of protocol if it was available on ethernet. be it simular to a jet direct printer or a ipx device.

If we could start a section for programming for the device, that would be awesome, I am also interested to hear if we can communicate with the device over ethernet connection.

Does the Modem stor any information/statistics?

You talking about Splitfil.com ?
Approx 2 k long - written 02/08/1999 ?
Runs in Dos ?

If so, thats mine and I wrote it in Assembler [;)]
 
Dont you think its those big router stuff that have telnet.

this one might only have web page (since they have actually made a web server that fits on a IC) (search for smallest web server)

but once again, I am waffling, not really doing my research.

btw. Finding source code or any information about the internals of the device is like finding chicken teeth.

http://wireless.newsfactor.com/perl/story/20977.html#story-start
this site actually have a picture of the one we are getting in SA.. Kind of narrows down that the device we have is not unique to SA.

There is also mention about technologies that came out together, WPAN and WMAN. Details that are hazy still, but learning slowly.

I learn from a unknown source (unless he tells you himself), that it is normal hays commands that you send to the device. But I dont know if there is other commands that you could send to the device over and above the standard.

as i say again. Still learning.
Might as well learn more , Not getting any signal.
 
Proasm, I wrote one in pascal, back in 1993-4 :) but no, not the dos one :)
I have it in my utils folder
its a little windows one 84kb, splits files, and plonks them back together. simple, no install, easy. like program should be :)

heheh. I can see we are going to start measuring some body parts soon.:p
