printer node

the main purpose of the printer node (also known as cardstar) is to log events from other can bus nodes. it therefore has connected a small thermo fax printer whith easy lpt interface, a little beeper and a dual seven segment led display. if an alarm event is raised on the bus the beeper beeps and the display shows the can bus id of the station which caused the alarm. the printer logs sensor events (like temperature low/high) and failed log in attempts. in order to cache station names and other data this unit has also access to a 32 kb sram which is hidden under many green and yellow wires on the picture above.
