Hi, any chance you can send me your code?

[DeluxCode]

Sorry, missed some of the other posts over the holiday break.

Just finished an update to the code to start with latitude & longitude instead of having to manually lookup the URL for your location.

I like rcb's idea to share on the Adafruit Github so everyone can have it. Any idea or recommendations on how to do that?

I see the link in this thread, but have never used Github. Not sure how I propose my new versions.

Hopefully the adafruit support team sees this post and makes recommendations.

I can see two options to proceed:

You can sign up for GitHub
Go to the repository at: https://github.com/adafruit/Python-Thermal-Printer/
Update the code with your changes (this is called submitting a pull request).

Or

You could zip up the files and send them to me (they are not that big) at "mattpackwood@gmail.com" and I can do the GitHub "stuff".

Took the opportunity to make a GitHub account and try to learn how to use it :)

We added our updated code (4 files) and submitted them as a pull request (#55 Added files via upload by CodeDelux).

Can you get the files from their directly or does someone have to merge them first?

[MattPackwood]

Ideally, they would be merged, I think there is a work around but I have to play with it...

[MattPackwood]

I am still having issues but I think it is best if we "move this to GitHub"....

[MattPackwood]

The code in GitHub has been updated for Python3, but the Twitter functionality is broken.

It looks like the code in GitHub is fixed, apart from the Twitter functionality, which I tried to update but it "beyond me".
