Old typewriter with Arduino and Raspberry Pi as a printer

Despite the fact that the production of typewriters stopped in all countries of the world (meaning old typewriters, without electronic components), some craftsmen still use these "devices" in their projects. So, the project was recently presented, the essence of which is the transformation of a typewriter, and an ancient one, into a printer that is used to print twitter messages of curious web users.

Needless to say, a simple "iron" requires some refinement in order for the plan to become a reality. But for Michael Schwanzer, this is not a problem, and below you can see how it all works. Michael used both Arduino and Raspberry Pi in his project. Malinka collects data from Twitter, and then transfers the processed data to the Arduino board. And then the mechanical part comes into operation.

By the way, representatives of the Habrasoobshchestvo can also print their tweets, for this you need to go to this site and write to the developer on Twitter. After that, on the site itself, you can monitor how soon your message will be typed on a typewriter printer.

The project itself is a relatively simple demonstration of how old technologies can work in modern conditions, for the time being, and as entertainment, as in this case.
