Universal Control Panel (UCP) is a [[Computer-aided manufacturing|CAM]] package which works with the [[ULS PLS4.75 Laser Cutter|ULS PLS4.75]].
== Design Parameters ==
UCP requires specific design parameters. You'll need to set these in the 2D vector drawing program. Specifically:
#The document must be in RGB color mode in order for colors to be read properly.
#Explicitly, you may only use three colors for objects:
##Red (255, 0, 0)
##Blue (0, 0, 255)
##Black (0, 0, 0)
#Red and Blue are only used for strokes.
#Black can be used for stroke and/or path.
#If strokes are Red or Blue, the ''must'' be 0.025mm thick.
#Any text must be converted into paths prior to sending to UCP. In Inkscape, this can be done by selecting the text and navigating ''Path --> Object to Path''.
