SilverLink Cables
| |
Design A Knit communicates with your knitting machine via a cable
between your computer and the knitting machine. Soft Byte developed
during the development of Design A Knit also a set of cables to connect
your computer to your knitting machine. These cables use a serial port
of your computer.
In 2003 we developed the SilverLink 4 to resolve the problems concerning
mispatterning caused by the fact that Windows cannot work real time. The
SilverlLink 4 provides both serial and USB connectivity.
We have now also developed the SilverLink 3 USB. The SilverLink 3 USB
can be connected directly to a USB port on your pc without the need for
a serial to USB converter. The SilverLink 3 USB has the same
functionality as the current SilverLink 3. The difference (apart from a
complete new design) is that you no longer need a serial port on your PC
and that the EC1 or the knitting machine is no longer required for
transfer of pattern from and to the PE1. You hook up your PE1 to your PC
via USB.
The SilverLink 6 USB combines the functionality of the SilverLink 3 USB
and the ScreenLink USB. You can transfer patterns to the PE1 like you
would do with the SilverLink 3 USB and you can knit interactive like you
would do with a ScreenLink USB.
