My tank mouse on the A500, my current go-to model for games, was getting progressively less responsive. I love mine even though I’ve got a newer model on the A1200. There’s something pleasingly and innately retro about the original Amiga “tank” mouse, with its angles and yellowing plastic.

Impress your friends! Well, probably not that oneĪmiga esp8266 cd32 amiga cd32 retrocomputing hack.

Telnet into one of many Amiga BBS sites.

Transfer files via either Samba or NFS, or maybe FTP.

What else can you do with an Amiga CD32 with a network connection?

The recently released IBrowse2.5 can handle modern-ish websites, such as this one! You’ll need to install AmiSSL 4.5 too. You can now fire up the browser of your choice and get surfing. That’s it, you can talk to the ESP8266 and it can talk to your wifi. If you connect again and type “show”, you should see that the wifi-side of the router has been allocated an address on your home network: You should see a command prompt like “CMD>” Make sue that local echo is on so that you can see what you’re doing, and that return issues a CR+LF:Ĭonnect to 192.168.240.1 port 7777, a special configuration telnet client running on the ESP. Next, install your telnet client, and we’ll configure the esp_slip_router to connect to your wifi. You can run c:showNetStatus if you want to check everything is fine so far: But that won’t do anything yet, as we have to configure the other side of the bridge.

Note, I needed to remove this line from install_script to avoid getting errors:Įcho >Devs:NetInterfaces/Slip “interface=Slip"Īt this point, the Amiga should be able to talk to the ESP over the serial connection. In a shell, go to the directory you unpacked tf3xxx_slip.zip ‘execute install_script’, and reboot.

I assume if you’re here then you already know how to do this and are using a CF or SD card on the IDE interface anyway.Ĭopy over the TCP/IP stack, browser, vice & setup scripts and telnet client.

You’ll need to transfer some software to the Amiga. With this, we’re ready to start with the Amiga side of things. Note the direction! It points “away” from the board: With the thing finally flashed, I (badly) soldered a header onto the TF330 and plugged the ESP-01 in: I didn’t need to keep GPIO0 grounded during the whole process, just initially to put it in programming mode - your mileage may vary. If it doesn’t work, unplug the thing from the USB port and try again. Connect GPIO0 to GND, There’s a little blue LED that should flash.Eventually I discovered that one of the pins needs to be grounded to put it in “programming” mode - this is where the bit of wire comes in handy. I tried all manner of things and it would not bloody work. Now, this didn’t work for me, I got error messages about invalid headers. Make sure you’re running this from the esp_slip_router folder, where the ‘firmware’ subfolder lives. COM port / tty device will need to be modified according to what your computer assigns it. I used Windows if you’re using Linux replace COM3 with /dev/ttyUSB0.

Plug the esp-01 into the programmer and pop it into a usb socket, then fire up a terminal.

I did have a usb-TTL converter but that was 5v whereas the ESP is 3.3v and I didn’t want to let the magic smoke out, so I ended up buying a little programmer, as linked above.ĭownload & install the python, follow the instructions to install pip and esptool.py and then download the esp_slip_router firmware.

This is apparently possible by using an Arduino as a programmer but I couldn’t get it to work. The first job is to flash the new firmware onto the ESP8266.

should also work with AmiTCP, Genesis or Miami, but you’ll need to follow the instructions for those accordingly.

Yes, it’s rather convoluted but we’ll take it step by step!Ĭredit to Stephen Leary & co at exxos forum for doing the hard work! What you’ll need The ESP firmware then shuffles data between the two networks, acting as a router: Separately, the ESP-01 connects to your wifi and gets assigned an address as normal. The idea is that the CD32 and the ESP8266 (ESP-01) belong to a network of two, attached via the serial lines. The basic concept is to use the Amiga’s serial port to talk to an ESP8266 running a SLIP Router, which will then link to your wifi and the internet. Yes, 59 kilobits per second of PURE INTERNET! But how did I get here? Well, follow me and I’ll show you.
