Hello i work with arduino. I'm not much of a programmer but my skills are hardware. I love building things. I need help I was looking for a way to hook a arduino with SD card to the commodore 64 so i can have files on it. I did find the tapuino and have tried it but I was stuck in only using tap files. I found out just recently that i can use the Serial port that uses the Floppy drive on the commodore 64 with arduino and Sd card to hold different type of files for the commodore. Every search i found I couldn't find anyone who is doing it with a arduino sketch. I need help can you help me please?

Hi, The best thing you can do today is to get hold of a "pi1541" hat pcb, order and solder the components on the board. All these things should be available on eBay, even as a kit.

Install an SD card, with the right files from the project, configure or tweak some setting on the card, put the d64 images in the card. Then attach the hat on th äe raspberry pi, insert the sd card and enjoy.

Best regards Lars

Hello i never worked with rapberry pi before. Even through it;s close to a pc. And uses python coding and other type of programming. That is way over my head.

Hi, I understand. But with this thing you won't even have to program anything, or even compile anything. It is all pre-built binaries, very easy to install. It's simple to configure also. I could mail one of my own configs.

You would need raspberry 3. And an SD card. Also, the 1541 original IEC connector cable.

The only thing you DO need to cope (unless you find a presoldered Hat on ebay), is to solder some components. I have like 20 pcb's spare, I can send a couple of those to you. But then you would need to get the components yourself, I have a list of those. I won't charge anything for the boards because they are just lying around, just the postage.

In case you're interested, just let me know I live in Sweden. /Lars
