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

  • 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
  • Turn of 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
