I built myself a tiny #wifi #modem for the #commodore64 . It uses an #esp8266 to emulate an #hayes modem using the #Zimodem firmware.
I made a couple of changes to the design found online, namely added a capacitor on the power rail (because the Commodore provides 100mAh but the ESP can have a higher transients up to 200mAh) and this one: https://www.valoroso.it/modifica-al-modem-wifi-per-commodore-64/
Now going to double-check every connection with the tester before trying it on the Commodore.

Modifica al Modem WiFi per Commodore 64 - Amedeo Valoroso

Come mai è necessaria una modifica al Modem WiFi per Commodore 64? Questi modem, spesso, non sono progettati bene ed ora vi spiego il perché.

Decided to add a reset button, just in case...

Printed some stickers. Very unprofessional. Very handmade. Very very ugly.

...I like it!
