Add a mini printer to any micro-controller project with this very cute thermal printer. Just send data to it serially and it will print it. No need of any complex coding or hardware. Has both TTL as well as RS232 interface.
Overview
Add a mini printer to any microcontroller project with this very cute thermal printer. Thermal printers are also known as receipt printers, they're what you get when you go to the ATM or grocery store. Now you can embed a little printer of your own into an enclosure.
