02:37 schestowitz; IBM played a role as well. Is there a finer point you need clarification on? I can link to some pages given more specificity.

11:20 schestowitz; In terms of scoring, a player receives a point when their puck passes below the opponents goal, which meant Underwood needed some way of consistently detecting when the puck crosses the line. To do this, she created a small sketch for an Arduino Uno Rev3 that checked the state of a phototransistor and incremented the score when triggered. Although this worked initially, she did acknowledge t
11:20 schestowitz; hat further improvements are needed to prevent false positives.

11:21 schestowitz; This model, a QR204, and most others like it, receive print content through an RS232 serial communications port. It has an internal microcontroller that lets it interpret what it receives over serial. If that is simple text, then it will print the text and move to the next line. But it also accepts commands in the form of special characters to modify the output, such as increasing the text size
11:21 schestowitz; . It can also print low-resolution images sent in the form of bitmap arrays. Krejci explains how to do all of that in the video.
