Attempting to flash the adafruit_thermal code to the particle photon, which has the library included, returns errors which I’ve included an image of.
Without seeing your code, or the full error, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do. Please give us the full steps, and information needed to reproduce the problem.
Here is my code :
// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <Adafruit_Thermal.h>
Adafruit_Thermal printer;
// String tweet;
char tweet[300];
String oldTweet;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600); // Uses regular serial
Serial1.begin(19200); //Starts printer serial (RX (green printer wire), TX (yellow printer wire)
printer.begin(&Serial1); //uses RX and TX
Particle.subscribe("Treytest", myHandler); //subscribes to the event
printer.println(tweet);
printer.feed(1);
}
void loop() {
//empty
}
void myHandler(String event, String data) {
/* Particle.subscribe handlers are void functions, which means they don't return anything.
They take two variables-- the name of your event, and any data that goes along with your event.
In this case, the event will be "buddy_unique_event_name" and the data will be "intact" or "broken"
Since the input here is a char, we can't do
data=="intact"
or
data=="broken"
chars just don't play that way. Instead we're going to strcmp(), which compares two chars.
If they are the same, strcmp will return 0.
*/
Particle.publish("myhandlerBlue Triggered", "YES"); //Debug - let me know it was triggered
int result = data.compareTo(oldTweet); //compares to old tweet
if (result == 0) {
Particle.publish("Blue_the_same", "Samesies");
} else {
// if the data is something else
printReal(data); //sends this to the printing function
oldTweet = String(data); //saves this tweet in oldTweet
Particle.publish("Blue_the_same", "Not The Same"); //publish a message
}
}
void printReal(String thing) { //the printer function
printer.wake();
printer.boldOn();
Particle.publish("thing_I_printed_blue", thing);
printer.println(thing);
printer.feed(8); //8 lines are enough to clear the opening
printer.sleep();
}
void print2(String event, String data) {
printer.wake();
printer.inverseOn();
printer.println(data);
printer.inverseOff();
printer.feed(8);
printer.sleep();
Particle.publish("thing_I_printed_blue", data);
}
Particle.subscribe()
handlers should look like this tho'
https://docs.particle.io/reference/firmware/photon/#particle-subscribe-
And you should not Particle.publish()
inside the handler before saving away event
and data
if you want to use them later on.
