<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Talking to the vinyl cutter is easy. It
speaks HPGL, and Inkscape will do it. However, it has an internal
USB-RS232 converter that currently is Windows-only.<br>
<br>
However! The cutter also has a RS-232 port. So if have a way to
talk that, then you should be able to use inkscape to cut just
fine. I believe Rubin has done this - he'd know the details.<br>
<br>
FWIW, the proprietary software requires a license, which
Noisebridge has legally purchased. I have it. If you want access,
let me know. I should probably vinyl-cut a sticker with the
license key on it :-)<br>
