<p>Amy: </p>
<hr />
<div>[http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/ '''Kokompe'''] is the 3rd generation CAM/CAD software for Fab Labs. It is a suite of capabilities that allow users to design, translate, and manufacture. After a recent organizational rewrite, it is often referred to as '''Fab Modules'''. <br />
<br />
The kokompe software provides the full software stack from a user interface for designing 3D objects to a set of instructions for driving computer controlled machines. It has been designed along with the [http://mtm.cba.mit.edu/ MTM project] to allow you to build and reproduce real world 3D objects. The MTM machines have been used to make circuit boards, to mill wax molds, to make wooden toys, to build plastic parts, and to make other MTM machines. <br />
<br />
The software is freely available for individual and experimental use; license for commercial sale available from MIT. <br />
<br />
== Downloads ==<br />
<br />
Go straight to [http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/dist/index.html download] for the source and precompiled for Ubuntu. <br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== 1. dependencies ===<br />
<br />
Kokompe requires [http://www.python.org/ Python] [http://www.wxpython.org wxPython] [http://gcc.gnu.org/ GCC] [http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html libpng] [http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ make] [http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ BASH]<br> <br />
<br />
If you're using ubuntu, type the following command in to a terminal: <br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install python python-wxtools python-wxgtk2.8 gcc libpng12-dev make bash<br />
<br />
=== 2. install (Ubuntu) ===<br />
<br />
Ubuntu commands (which you can copy and paste directly into a terminal window) are shown in the dashed code box. <br />
<br />
(a) download [http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/dist/fab.zip http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/dist/fab.zip] <br />
<br />
wget http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/dist/fab.zip<br />
<br />
(b) save the file in a directory where you'll run the program. <br />
<br />
mkdir ~/Desktop/fabmodules<br />
mv fab.zip ~/Desktop/fabmodules<br />
<br />
(c) unzip the file <br />
<br />
cd ~/Desktop/fabmodules<br />
unzip fab.zip<br />
<br />
(d) make the program files in the bin directory executable and move to a global location <br />
<br />
chmod +x ~/Desktop/fabmodules/bin/*<br />
sudo mv bin/* /usr/local/bin<br />
<br />
(e) test your installation. You should be able to call the '''fab''' from within any directory. <br />
<br />
which fab<br />
<br />
The 'which' command should return '/usr/local/bin/fab'. If the 'which' command returns nothing, something went wrong. Most likely, the move in step (d). <br />
<br />
=== 3. starting the program ===<br />
<br />
The '''fab modules''' are so named because they are actually several small stand-alone programs which do specific functions. &nbsp;One program, named '''fab''' helps you call all the other programs at the right time. &nbsp;As you get more advanced, you might want to call specific functions directly but to get started, launch the top level program '''fab''': <br />
<br />
&nbsp; fab <br />
<br />
This should open a new window with a whole bunch of buttons. &nbsp;If not, check the terminal window where you typed in '''fab''' for clues from the error messages. <br />
<br />
== Use ==<br />
<br />
The '''fab''' program is a "cross point switch" between file inputs and machine outputs. &nbsp;Generally speaking, you want to select input type and desired output and use the graphical interface to select speeds and forces values for the machines. &nbsp;The possible combinations of inputs - to - outputs are huge and growing as the modules are added to. &nbsp;The power of the fab modules is that once you learn the process you can figure out any other input-output combination. &nbsp; <br />
<br />

'''STARTER&nbsp;SETUP''' <br />
<br />
If you're just starting out or outfitting a new computer, the preferred minimum setup is based on all freely available cross-platform software. &nbsp;This means the greatest likelihood of direct design sharing and the largest population of people able to help out where there's a problem. <br />
<br />

<br> <br />
<br />
*The open source operating system&nbsp;[[Ubuntu]] is preferred, though all software listed in this section are cross-platform. <br />
*[[Python]] - a programming language on which many of these programs are based. Is usually bundled with Ubuntu and MacOS <br />
*[[Kokompe|Fab Modules]] - an important piece of software that allows nearly any digital file to be sent to nearly any machine <br />
*[[Open Office]] or [[Libre Office]] - writer, calc (spreadsheets), impress (presentations), draw, math and base<br />
<br />
Design: <br />
<br />
*[[Blender]] - 3D design <br />
*[[Gimp]] - image drawing and manipulation <br />
*[[Inkscape]] - vector drawing and manipulation<br />
<br />
Electronics: <br />
<br />
*[[Eagle]] - electronics circuits design and layout <br />
*[[Avrdude]] - software programming for Atmel processors<br />
<br />
Programming <br />
<br />
*[[Scratch]] - a graphical a programming language<br />
<br />
Fab Labs Collaboration&nbsp;<br />
<br />
*Fab Labs Videoconferencing clients: Polycom V500, [[Tandberg Conference Me]] (windows only), Ekiga, Xmeeting. TightVNC for remote desktop. <br />

<br />
*[[Arduino]] - an open-source electronics prototyping platform <br />
*[[OpenSCAD]] -Solid 3D CAD Modeller<br />
<br />
<br> In addition to the programs above, many labs use commercial or manufacturer proprietary programs for design or manufacturing. You might find collaborators who are using these programs. <br />
<br />
*Shopbot [[Partworks]] <br />
*Roland [[Modela player]] milling <br />
*Roland [[Dr. Picza]] scanner <br />
*Next Engine [[Scan Studio]] <br />
*[[Sketchup|Google Sketchup]] (listed here because a fee is required to generate output)<br />
