3g sim ethernet inside printer?

[t man x]

Hello guys, I'm new here so apologies firsthand if this thread is in the wrong place.

I'm really liking the mini printer but just wondering how difficult would it be to have a sim card inside it which allows data connectivity so that it can be truly portable?

I know this is wishful thinking but I'm just wondering.

Your thoughts appreciated

at this time its not possible - it would be a very complex project

Hello

I bought the printer mentioned here

https://www.adafruit.com/products/600

assuming it was the same one in this video http://vimeo.com/37456284

where can I purchase the one mentioned in the video?

That is the same printer module. But the complete IoT printer kit is this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/717

[t man x]

Ahh ok, is there any way I can convert this one now that I've bought it?

[adafruit_support_bill]

Contact suppor@adafruit.com and we'll get you set up with the components you need.

Any suggestions as to where I can get a UK plug/adapter that will work with the Arduino Ethernet board?

[adafruit_support_bill]

Anything between 7 and 12v DC output with a 5.5mm/2.1mm barrel jack (positive tip) will work.
Oomlaut should have them: http://oomlout.co.uk/

Thanks, I've ordered the adapter.

I have another question, which I know sounds odd but I will ask anyway. If the IoT printer runs out of paper, on refill does it pick up where it left off or will those tweets/messages get missed?

[t man x]

Also, is it possible to install a beeper device thing when it prints?

Yes I'm full of questions

[t man x]

Any suggestions?

Would really help

[adafruit_support_bill]

I don't know the answer to the paper-out question. But installing a beeper should be easy enough to do.

[t man x]

Thats great news!

I'm a complete newb, do you have/can you suggest a beeper that would be compatible?

This one will work: https://www.adafruit.com/products/160 It is easy to drive and needs no additional components.

Piezo buzzers are used for making beeps, tones and alerts. This one is petite but loud! Drive it with 3-30V peak-to-peak square wave. To use, connect one pin to ground (either one) and the other pin to a square wave out from a timer or microcontroller. For the loudest tones, stay around 4 KHz, but works quite well from 2KHz to 10KHz. For extra loudness, you can connect both pins to a microcontroller and swap which pin is high or low ('differential drive') for double the volume.

The Arduino "Tone()" function is the simplest way to generate the square wave.

Excellent, I'll order straight away
