The item
We have a Brother KH-950 Knitting machine!
It can be hacked to knit over usb and to work automatically. This means you can 'print' pixel art in wool form!
Story so far
- Knitter won on a well-know auction site
- Got a very strange look from the seller when I collected it "Is it...for you??!"
- Briefly set up in Derby and ran for two minutes before the smoke escaped
- Fault identified as a failed capacitor in the PSU. Spare cap will be collected from a well-known high street electronics company on Tuesday 5th July
- Should be delivered to the Space on Sunday 10th July
- New caps have been fitted and the machine powers up without smoke
Please could all pledges now be settled by transfer to the HackSpace account, with the unique reference "KNITTING".
We got it working! Charles, Sam and I successfully knitted a basic boring sheet of wool. Charles and Sam then knitted some patterns from the document reader - tomw
The code for a floppy drive emulator is here and I plan to try it out tonight - tomw
