A simple thermal printer connected to a web based user interface i use for sending myself notes/lists, basic math, fortune cookies, weather forecasts, sodoku, and controls two streaming radio services to my home stereo. Controlled by a raspberry pi. Hope to work on some voice activation as well as controlling some wifi relays for lights, and etc in my home, as well as some coded vocal responses would make it more fun to interact with..

A great learning project, I figured out some things about Python, HTML, and integrating the two with some cobbled, pre-written scripts, and the help of my friends at Ushroo. This is my 2nd Raspberry PI project after a basic Kodi (XBMC) media center. Below I have linked examples of my cobbled code and links to the Git Repos and etc regarding my "build".

-Hardware: Raspberry pi B, Adafruits Thermal Printer, SoundTech CM-1000 USB Microphone

-Software: Raspbian Jessie, Pianobar, Patiobar, Python, Thermal Printer Libraries, Jasper

I am currently working on adding Voice Activation via Jasper.

Any suggestions would be well recieved...

    After posting on their forum, they promptly got back to me to let me know how to reset and print a test page.

    Plug in power and hold feed button at the same time

    Printer works fine now.

  • After months of working just fine..

    Thermal printer has seemed to have given up on life, and doesnt really feed or print anymore, sent a message to adafruit to see if there is anything about it that is serviceable.. luckily 30$ for a knew one isnt too bad.

  • 5 steps forward 8 steps back.

    I got all my own code up and running on the new 64gb sd.

    My weather api is failing and I haven't tracked the issue yet.

    I installed Jasper and now am trying to satisfy all the dependencies.

    Stuck with trying to get openfst and phonetisaurus....

    Jasper install was a fail due to lack of space, ordered new 64gig SDcard to my surprise, when dd'ing the original 8gig to the new card, i found i couldnt expand the file system. One full day later i gave up and started from scratch, is moving quickly and i am updating the instructions and this "blog" as a whole. lesson learned, if you have a permanent or semi-permanent project dont use the NOOBS install, you cannot expand the file system later.

  • Progress...
