Description

The STEVAL-IPC003V1 demonstration board is a

thermal printer adapter board for the

STM3210C_EVAL and offers a solution for

parking ticket vending machines. This daughter

board is interfaced with a connectivity line

demonstration board, using the touch based TFT

as the user interface keypad. The objective of this

demonstration board is to print and generate

parking tickets as well as printing text messages

received over the ethernet.

It is an application which can be re-used in POS

based applications.

Paper feed is done by the stepper-motor for which

a driver is required. The driver, used for the

stepper motor (L293DD), has a push-pull four

channel driver with diodes.
