Adding WiFi to the Cidco MailStation #ESP8266 #Arduino #Huzzah @jcs

WiFiStation is an ESP8266 WiFi module board that connects to a Cidco MailStation Z80 computer. It allows programs to be uploaded to the MailStation over WiFi/HTTP or USB serial, and can act as a WiFi modem.

WiFiStation has been tested with the Cidco MailStation DET1/DET1A (also called the Mivo/MailStation 100, or eMessage). Other models of the MailStation such as the 120, 150, 200, 250, and 350 have not been tested.

It uses an Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 board.

The WiFiStation can be purchased on Tindie as a full, unassembled kit with optional case.

The board and schematic files are freely available for printing your own PCB if you want to source your own components, in addition to the case model for 3D-printing your own case.

WiFiStation’s firmware, schematic, board design, and enclosure are all available on GitHub under an ISC license. You are free to modify any of it.
