Hey All,
I'm rather new to Arduino, and I picked up a 101 in order to take advantage of the increased flash/memory over my Uno (plus future Bluetooth and accelerometer interests). I have a code running on a UNO R3 that prints directly to a thermal receipt printer. When I tried the same code with the 101 I was unable to produce any results.
I have updated the IDE and loaded the correct board. Is there a process for updating Libraries to work seamlessly? Is there some issue with SoftwareSerial on 101 that I'm not aware of?
These are the libraries that are being used.
#include "Adafruit_Thermal.h"
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
#define TX_PIN 6 // Arduino transmit YELLOW WIRE labeled RX on printer
#define RX_PIN 5 // Arduino receive GREEN WIRE labeled TX on printer
SoftwareSerial mySerial(RX_PIN, TX_PIN); // Declare SoftwareSerial obj first
Adafruit_Thermal printer(&mySerial); // Pass addr to printer constructor
I've noticed other issues uploading EEPROM randomizers and *Char operations -- it doesn't seem to agree with some simple codes I've had running before.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
Jake
