I have a receipt printer I was hoping to program to print one of ten comics randomly. I was able to program it to print one but the memory limitations make it impossible to store more than that!
I've used the sketch found on the Adafruit website: here
I have since bought an SD module in hopes of storing the other images on there. I am now at a loss bc I'm realizing that it can't be programmed as the Arduino memory can.
I assumed that there would be a way for me to recall more .h files where the code for the image is held but I can't figure it out!
Does anyone have any idea how to work some magic on this?
Hopefully, I can explain this without too much confusion!
As an overview, I am trying to make a machine that when you push a button, the Arduino prints out one of 10 different images on receipt paper.
I was able to get my receipt printer to print one image but because of the way it stores the images, you can only load one image onto the Arduino!
I would love to use an SD card module to store the image code for all 10 images and recall them into the code when needed.
All I really need from you all is to be able to take the original sketch for the receipt printer and instead of storing the adalogo.h on the Arduino, load it from an SD card and I can do the rest.
