Group Assignment

Our group assignment was:

"Send a message between two projects"

You can find what Ruipeng and I did to complete it below.

I was pretty dang burned out right off the tail of Machine Week , so I really wanted to take this week a little lighter. I worked on v1 of my final project board, and focused on getting the receipt printer up and running over a WiFi network. The onboard XIAO ESP32C3 connects to WiFi and is synced up with a feed on Adafruit I/O, which sends it text over UART to the printer.
