Well, I’ll be wanting to pick one up. :) On Sun, Dec 3, 2017 at 6:02 PM Paul Rickards via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Joseph, Sorry to hear about the challenging home situation. Hope things turn around for you soon. The WiFi232 units are assembled. -Paul

Paul,
Are they the assembled units you’ll be bringing?
While I can solder a bit, SMD soldering is beyond me for several reasons.
I will try to show up on Saturday. Things have just been really bad where I live. I don’t have a floor in my kitchen underneath the sink, and most of the wood is moldy and rotted away. And it’s been like that for almost a month and for two weeks, we were unable to use the sinks in out bathroom or kitchen. But all that is a whole ‘nother story, not really appropriate for this thread.

Hi Folks,
WiFi232 guy here. I'll be at Festivus on Saturday and will have a very limited number of WiFi232 modems for $50/ea. Jim, I'll set one aside for you if you'd like.
Ethan, The stock ESP firmware in theory would work, but it's cumbersome and the AT command set isn't Hayes compatible. A previous version of my custom firmware is on GitHub. https://github.com/RolandJuno/esp8266_modem/
As Bill said, a Raspberry Pi running the patched version of tcpser is an option: https://github.com/FozzTexx/tcpser
Leif Bloomquist took this idea a step further and mounted a Pi Zero to a card for the C64 user port.

Leif also has developed something similar he calls the WiFiTerminal: https://github.com/LeifBloomquist/WifiTerminal
cbmstuff.com has plans for a new WiFi RS-232 modem: https://www.cbmstuff.com/products.php?cat=2
Hope this info helps everyone.
Cheers, -Paul

Paul will be at Festivus, there's your opportunity to solicit a new batch!

be forthcoming. If the new has worn off yours, please let me know. Fair price or maybe a trade. Thanks, Jim
You can make something similar with a raspberry pi too.
