Push the Green Button: Creating Event Gadgets with IoT and Serverless Architecture
The final step in our process is the physical output, the printed QR code that we hand to our event attendee. For this task, I had a Brother QL-500 label printer borrowed from the available equipment at the company. There's an open-source Python library on Github, brother_ql, that makes interacting with this printer incredibly straightforward from a Linux command line.

Push the Green Button: Creating Event Gadgets with IoT and Serverless Architecture
To receive commands from AWS IoT and translate them into actions performed by the printer, the Raspberry Pi uses the aws-iot-device-client, which I downloaded and installed on it. You can follow these instructions to do the same.
