The Issue-Printer is a little thermal printer, connected to Arduino, that automatically prints out comments and issues from a certain repository of GitHub.
In order to connect the printer to the Arduino you only need three wires: the red, the black and the blue one.
The red one goes in the vin pin and provides the current
The black one is for the ground
The blue one, which is where datas pass through, goes in the tx pin.
Before loading any sketch you need to install the adafruit library and the json library. In this repository you will find an Arduino sketch ready to be loaded. All the .h files are bitmaps of images made with the processing sketch that you can find in the Adafruit's library examples.
