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
