Hello,
Does anyone know how to hack this thermal printer? or if it's even possible would be really cool to have a small printer connected to an esp 32

I was thinking that the interface was raw. Still 15 contacts is not really enough for more than 6 vertical pixels per row.
You have two dual winding steppers (4 wires each), that would be 8 contacts if there were no drivers there.
Is the coily cord stuff an optional cutter?
Ohm it out and see if the stepper coils go directly to "CN5".
Or take it apart and look for driver ICs.

Well, when it is burned like you said, then it will by very hard to get a new transistor for it. So maybe you could search on the second hand market for a HTC HD2 with a broken screen and change that part on the photo.

Get snipped! Dock charging

I've got a dock for my Fassy in each car, and docking it flips it to landscape mode, and since I've got mine running at 800mhz, its not the fastest to do all the operations when undocking. When someone calls me, I've got no chance at answering.
The solution? Snip your cables! Just drill a hole in the back so you can use a screw driver to pry off the back plate. Then snip all the cables except the black and red ones. Now you'll have a charge only dock, no resistors to tell the phone its in a dock. I couldn't find a software solution or a kernel hack.
While I was in there, I installed a bolt so I could bolt it to my dashboard.

will this work on N7?

I know it says it's for xperia play, or something, but the guy said in his thread that it should work for all OTG devices.
I however don't have a usb hub right now, so if anyone with soldering skills wants to try this, let me know if it works.

The potential to brick your device by shorting it out is high with this, someone with balls of steel would need to test it.
basic circuitry looks okay but I don't know if the sony devices do anything funny to allow for this on their official dock, you also may have to experement with different ohm resistors to find the sweet spot for our device.

[Q] Camera flex cable (tiny) extension

Hi
I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.
I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.
Turns out it isn't.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?
I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)
Any input would be appreciated
Here's a photo of the connector

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
