Hi I am looking to start a project to print images drawn on a touch screen attached to an Arduino and send the drawing via Bluetooth to a polaroid pocket printer. Can anyone help me? I cant find anything to help online.
Too many unknowns that you need to research and define.
-
What does an image drawn on a touch screen look like, data wise? How will you know when the image is complete?
-
What data is the polaroid pocket printer expecting that will tell it you are sending an image for it to print?
From that information, you can begin to think about a program to test your discoveries.
The image will be a colour drawing with limited complexity as this is intended for children to draw so let's say a car is drawn with one size brush on the screen like in photoshop. I would then have a print button on the touch screen to send the image data to the polaroid printer for the polaroid printer to print the image on a standard size photo paper canvas.
How would I find out what information is being sent to the polaroid?
Seems a perfect place to use a logic analyzer with sufficient memory to store the signal for later study.
That will not work for an Arduino!
