Once I found out that Adafruit sold the guts of a thermal printer for US $40- just the print head and driver board from a thermal receipt machine-I immediately knew it was perfect for adding instant photographs. But I felt that wasn’t in the spirit of a Polaroid, so I began researching printers. Initially, I was planning to stop there: If I wanted to print out any of the photos I would simply grab them via a wireless connection. I decided to convert a Polaroid instant camera-the sort that spits out self-developing paper photographs-into a digital camera. So I decided to make a digital camera that’s purposely got a lower resolution than a smartphone cam but is a lot more fun. I wanted to take a break and build something entertaining I could share with other people without the complicated explanations that things like a laser interferometer often require. I’ve been recently engaged with some fairly serious projects, building up my garage semiconductor fab.
