In order to allow a standard user to control the Novint Falcon, some rules must be updated.

Download [51-forcedimension.rules] file and copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d.

Reload the rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Once plugged, Novint Falcon is attached to the plugdev group, so the user must be a member of this group.

  • Edit /etc/group file.
  • Find the line that corresponds to plugdev group.
  • Add the user name to the group (e.g. plugdev:x:46:user1), where user1 is your user name.
