The Game Boy camera paired with a Game Boy Printer was when I first discovered my love of thermal printing. There was something so satisfying about watching your insanely low-res photos come to life from the miniature device.
For those who dream of once again printing any and all things on sheets of thermal paper, this hat for Raspberry Pi is the answer. The onboard power supply is capable of powering both the Pi and the hat, while serial communication happens over USB without any additional drivers.
Check out the video below to hear the pleasing sound of this in action. It prints one row at a time with a resolution of 7x105px so there’s room for you to get creative with your graphics. The seller also offers a shield for Arduino with the same functionality.
