This is how I installed the Fab Modules on Ubuntu and it seems to work. I got this tutorial on

• http://wiki.infosyncratic.nl/FabLab

• fab modules

cd ~/Desktop
mkdir fabmodules
cd fabmodules
wget http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/dist/fab.zip
unzip fab.zip
chmod +x bin/*
sudo mv bin/* /usr/local/bin

• graphing and interface modules

apt-get -y install python-wxtools

And to run the Fab module simply write:

fab

and press enter

CAMM settings

To make it work with the vinyl cutter: First find out how the vinyl-cutter is connected, (what is the name of the usb port?)

cd ..
cd ..
cd ..

Until you are on the root then write

/var/log$ dmesg

Turn on the vinyl cutter and

/var/log$ dmesg

Then you will see the name of the USB port that the vinyl cutter uses

Then you should change the permisson

/dev$ sudo chmod 0766 /dev/usblp0

Open the send_camm

sudo gedit send_camm

Change the name of the port to the one you will be using

/dev/usblp0
