    Retrofit a Polaroid Camera With a Raspberry Pi and a Thermal Printer

    Get black-and-white images instantly, and save high-resolution color
    images for later

    [...]

    I decided to convert a Polaroid instant camera--the sort that spits
    out self-developing paper photographs--into a digital camera.
    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. But I felt that wasn't in the spirit of a Polaroid, so I
    began researching printers. 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.
