Fabman Bridge FB-V2 User Manual
1. Introduction The Fabman Bridge acts as an authorization device for the Fabman web application. It is connected to the internet over WiFi. After successful user authorization and granted access it powers an external load, which can be a machine like a laser cutter or milling machine, a door lock or any other electrically powered device. Therefore the Bridge is connected in between the mains socket and the load's power input.
