Andrew at Edinburgh Hacklab has started a project to build an [http://funwithleccy.blogspot.com/ electronic Dobby loom]. A Dobby loom is roughly the same setup as this one but has automatic, programmable shuffling of the shafts (harnesses), thereby speeding and helping with the patterning. I'd like to help the project along by doing some similar work on the table loom. | Andrew at Edinburgh Hacklab has started a project to build an [http://funwithleccy.blogspot.com/ electronic Dobby loom].

I have some ideas of my own that I'd like to try, concentrating particularly on the idea of a jacquard head that might be made more cheaply - albeit with some restrictions - than the usual massively parallel ones. | ||
