Description

A 58 mm thermal receipt printer with a USB-C base board that powers both the printer and your microcontroller from one cable. For POS, ticketing and data-logging projects.

Highlights

• One cable for everything. The base board negotiates 9 V from a USB-C PD adapter for the printer and also powers your board.
• Simple serial link. Drive it over TTL UART at 9600 baud.
• Receipt-width output. 48 mm printed on standard 58 mm paper at 203 dpi.
• Sample code. Examples for Arduino, ESP-IDF and MicroPython on Lonely Binary's GitHub.
