The artisan is not 4K per eye. Their âoe8Kâ product is, I believe. Part of why I didnâ(TM)t get that was the price, and part was performance, in that current graphics hardware canâ(TM)t adequately power it anyway especially for MSFS2020.

Hence I am hoping in a couple years it will be ready

Facebook requirement is the #1 reason I did not even consider Oculus. I absolutely abhor when two completely unrelated things are arbitrarily made dependent on one another. I bought a pimax artisan headset. I like the wide field of view, works well with MSFS2020. I'm hoping in the next couple of years to upgrade my computer and headset again and get 4K per eye with good framerates.. I also want to buy a motion seat, just saw the yaw2 on kick starter. I think this is an exciting time for gaming - I haven't been interested in 20 years and now VR has rekindled my excitement!

Not quite what you are saying, but aftermarket "full" ECUs do exist and can be adapted to a variety of cars.

I also use SATO at a high volume distribution company. These printers are rugged and dependable, although not cheap.. We print literally thousands of labels per day, and some of our printers are still going strong after 10+ years.

We use the M84Pro with 203 dpi heads. They also have 300+ and 600+ dpi heads (more expensive, but higher resolution). We also have one of the MB410i (mobile printing!)

They are capable of 1d & 2d barcodes, several fonts, raster graphics, lines, etc.

You can get modules for serial, parallel, network (ethernet, wifi).

http://www.geminicomputers.com has them for the cheapest, they are a pretty reliable company based out of NYC i think, and ship quickly.

Regarding the other child post -- you don't need a howto. Go to sato's website and download the EXCELLENT programmer's guide. It goes above and beyond, explaining exactly how to program for these things.

Regarding the windows driver -- all it does is convert the GDI print data into ALL RASTER commands to the printer. This means WYSIWYG, however SLOW SLOW SLOW vs. using the actual printer commands.

FWIW we've had good luck using PHP & smarty with these printers.. You create templates with smarty then fill in the variables when it is time to print.

Also -- We wrote a simple 'bridge' program which can run on a PC and act like a translator from port 9100 (jet direct / tcp printing) thru to the sato, so it acts like we have a network card in the printer w/o having to pay for one.
