Take an old thermal printer like those that print receipts in a supermarket till, hack it for manual control, add a Raspberry Pi with its camera and obtain a minimalist and low-res photo booth... With some Haskell code running the show, of course !

Take an old thermal printer like those that print receipts in a supermarket till, hack it for manual control, add a Raspberry Pi with its camera and obtain a minimalist and low-res photo booth... With some Haskell code running the show, of course !

With a fresh checkout:

  • stack build
  • probably stack setup (as your ghc won't be matching)
  • then run the generated executable (for example ".stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux/Cabal-1.24.2.0/build/thermal-printer-photo-booth-exe/thermal-printer-photo-booth-exe")
  • stack test if you feel so inclined...

(The first build/setup does take a while on a Raspberry Pi !)
