E-TKT: anachronic label maker
Andrei Speridião - 2022 - andrei.cc
An open source label maker that fuses together both old and contemporary technology to create something as ubiquitous as... EMBOSSED LABELS!
By combining simple and widely available embossing tapes in a reliable mechanism with modern connectivity, E-TKT rescues a would-be future that did not happen, and at the same time gets rid of the dependence on proprietary cartridges, which are environmentally impacting & expensive.
how does it work?
An ESP32 commands the label production and also serves an on demand web application (local) to any device connected in a local network.
Neither internet is needed, nor installing any app.
