Automatic Label Printer with Raspberry Pi

Automatic Label Printer with Raspberry Pi

Comments 2 comments

Thanks to post about building a Pi powered wireless label printer published on Design Spark I have found out about software package made by Philipp Klaus which makes it possible to control label printers made by Brother company from Raspberry Pi. This inspired me to make automatic label printer which would periodicaly check for new orders on e-shop and automaticaly print labels for shipping sold items. I have made it for particular Czech online secondhand bookshop called trhknih.cz. This e-shop has API which can be used for gathering needed data. I used Python programming language. I hope this post might serve as inspiration for automating different label printing tasks.

This post is about building SDI-12 sniffer which listens to serial communication on SDI-12 bus in long-therm (lets say days or weeks) and saves each command and response with its timestamp into text files. These files are stored localy in SDI-12 sniffer and also they are sent to e-mail authomaticaly so they can be checked regularly and remotely. This post is specificaly about SDI-12 communication, but with modifications it could be used for any serial communication debugging.
