1. Install GNU/Linux
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Any dekstop GNU/Linux system should work.
|
|
[Ubuntu 14.04 LTS](http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/) has been tested and is recommended.
|
|
The rest of the instructions might need some changes if using another distribution.
|
|
|
|
2. Setup CUPS printer service
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Open a web browser, go to http://localhost:631
|
|
|
|
If this does not give you a web interface make sure CUPS is intalled, and that cupsd is running.
|
|
|
|
Go to Adding new Printers -> Add Printer
|
|
Select your printer, should be "GCC EXPLORER" or similar
|
|
Continue
|
|
(very important) Give it the Name: laser
|
|
Continue
|
|
Chose Make: Generic
|
|
Continue
|
|
Chose Model: Generic PCL 5 LF Printer - CUPS+GutenPrint
|
|
Add Printer
|
|
Chose Media Size: Manual
|
|
Chose Shrink Page: Crop
|
|
Set Default Options
|
|
|
|
It should now say setup success, and show the status of the printer as Idle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Install fabmodules
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Right now a custom version of Fabmodules is needed. In the future,
|
|
the version should be downloadable at the [regular](http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/downloads.html) location.
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal
|
|
|
|
Alt + F2 -> type gnome-terminal -> Enter
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python python-wxgtk2.8 python-dev python-pip gcc g++ libpng12-dev libgif-dev make bash okular libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev cmake git
|
|
|
|
Get the code
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/fellesverkstedet/fabmodules.git
|
|
cd fabmodules
|
|
|
|
Build & install
|
|
|
|
make fab
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
4. Run & Verify install
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Ensure that your GCC laser cutter is plugged in over USB.
|
|
|
|
In the terminal
|
|
|
|
fab
|
|
|
|
Choose "Vector SVG" and "GCC laser cutter", hit "make_svg_gcc".
|
|
A new window should appear.
|
|
|
|
Load an SVG file, click "make path", then "make gcc" and then "Send it!"
|
|
|
|
Your toolpath should now show on your GCC laser control panel,
|
|
and if you press "Start" it should cut.
