Thermal Tweeter Prints Tweets

Thermal Tweeter Prints Tweets

Send @dangerousproto a tweet and their thermal printer will print it! (Watch it live on Ustream for the time being.)

This is a soft-launch of our project for the Adafruit/Instructables Make it Tweet Challenge. We’ll have some documentation up on Instructables tomorrow, but we need your help stress testing the system today.

Thermal Tweeter is hacked together from a SparkFun thermal printer and the web platform internet development board. No computers are used to query twitter or run the printer, this is a 100% stand-alone Twitter appliance.

[Thanks, Ian]
