This is another interesting project from Adafruit. The detail tutorial can be found here.
The “Internet of Things” refers to the idea of pervasive, ambient connections between physical objects and the virtual world. If every modest sensor or output device could share information via the internet, what new paradigms will arise? Our little printer is one such experiment. What value can be culled from the internet without a browser interface, or even a computer screen for that matter?
Below is the list of items needed. You could also purchase the mini thermal printer at our online store at 3E Gadgets (www.3egadgets.com)
