Join me when I start brewing my first batch of Club Mate.
Inspired by a podcast from chaos radio express on the topic "Hackerbrausen" (Hacker's soda, listen here) I want to try this by myself.
So far I have bought all the necessary ingrediends and tools to get started. And with the help from Jan (@janl) I can even carbonate the end result :)

Controlling the Brother P-Touch Cube label maker from a computer
The Brother PTP300BT label maker is intended to be controlled using the official Brother P-Touch Design & Print iOS/Android app. The app has arbitrary limits on what you can print (1 text object and up to 3 preset icons), so I thought it would be a fun challenge to reverse engineer the protocol to print whatever I wanted.
Python code at the bottom if you want to skip the fine details.
Process
Intitially I had a quick peek at the Android APK to see if there was any useful information inside. The code that handles the communication with the printer in Print&Design turned out to be a native library, but the app clearly prepares a bitmap image and passes it to this native library for printing. Bitmaps are definitely something we can work with.
