Hi Michael – as I recall BMP images had to be converted but I’m not sure I ever got them working on the Raspberry Pi – I did print converted bitmapped images using the Arduino however… it was a long time ago, my memory is a bit hazy I’m afraid… will try to do some digging.

Hey,
Just wondering if you ever got this to work with bmp images? I am working on a project that is using these kinds of applications as its foundation and that would be super helpful if you had!

Best-

Michael

Thanks Mark, I’ll correct! I think there are too many volts on the printer TX pin, 5 or so rather than the 3.3v the Pi is happy with.

Cool project, just a minor correction, you install git, not github. Github is one of many places git projects are found.

Question: Why should you never connect the TX wire to the RPi? I see a big warning, but no explanation

sorry your comment got grabbed by over-enthusiastic spam filter – any push button should work, I think…

Hi! This is my first raspberry pi project and everything seems to be working great except the button. I go this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1439 and I fear it might be the wrong kind? Is that possible? Thanks!
