The Iconasys Turntable Controller is a standalone software that can be used with current Iconasys turntables and with any 3rd party programs that supports Shutter Release.
Step-by-step guide:
To install the Iconasys Turntable Controller you will need to first install the turntable drivers and then download and install the turntable controller software.
Detailed steps are:

- After unzipping the turntable controller software, switch to the Iconasys Turntable Controller location.
- Run the command: sudo ./IconasysTurntableController (or you can add usb permission to standard user if sudo is not permitted)

- sudo rmmod ftdi_sio
- sudo rmmod usbserial
No driver in Linux, just the steps listed. Download and install the software:
