Hi!
I got brother KH-940 electronic knitter and currently trying to do the same hack as in ladyada (http://ladyada.net/wiki/tutorials/knitt ... cable.html) tutorial.
Have anyone had with this machine any experience? Does it have the same floppy format?
I am trying to emulate floppy disk drive and download pattern template but without any success
I have followed all instructions on the tutorial, tries in different machines (windows, mac, linux) to run python script and keep getting following error:
i keep getting this error message:
python PDDemulate-1.0.py img COM12
Preparing . . . Please Wait
Ready!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PDDemulate-1.0.py", line 631, in
emu.handleRequests()
File "PDDemulate-1.0.py", line 382, in handleRequests
self.handleFDCmodeRequest(inc)
File "PDDemulate-1.0.py", line 504, in handleFDCmodeRequest
self.write(id)
AttributeError: PDDemulator instance has no attribute 'write'
it might be that my cable connection is incorrect.
I use this FTDI cable (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716)
and connect knitting machine pins as following:
GND (black) -> 1
CTS (blown) -> not connected
5V (red)-> 2 & 3
TXO (orange)- > 6
RXI (yellow)-> 7
DTR (green)-> not connected
I would be grateful for any help!
dont know what i am doing wrong or maybe 940 has something different in terms of floppy communication
