My first ever Raspberry Pi project!

Send a message from my website directly to my receipt printer in San Diego, California.

Built using Cursor, a Raspberry Pi 4B, a generic thermal receipt printer, Convex database, and frontend deployed via Netlify.

Also some help from ChatGPT haha.

It was a really fun build, and my first project like it!

I’ve already received over 700 (mostly incredibly kind) messages from all around the world. It’s been amazing, and I can’t stop thinking of all the fun projects I could build in the future.

I'd be happy to answer questions if anyone would like to build something similar. I’ve also open sourced it at https://github.com/maddiedreese/ticket-printer-os (my first ever open source project, so please reach out if you run into any issues)
