3 Project Introduction

Automatic Number Taking Machine for Street Vendors

Empowering Doctors: The Journey of a Medical Maker

While visiting a night market, I saw a small eatery with a bustling business and many people queuing. They had an automatic number-taking machine on the stall, where pressing a button would give you a number, similar to the queue number machines at banks. Since I had a thermal printer purchased from DF Mall, I decided to try and create one myself. Who knows, it might come in handy when my street vendor business takes off.

Knowledge Points
  1. Control the thermal printer using esc/pos commands

  2. Design the number ticket layout

  3. Use LattePanda to implement the self-made queue number machine function

  4. The principle of thermal printing and the safety of bisphenol A
