What Do I Need to Use eKnitter for KH910?
To use eKnitter KH910, you need a Brother KH 910 knitting machine in mechanically working condition. The original electronics do not need to be functional, as eKnitter completely replaces the mainboard.
When will eKnitter for KH 930 be availbe?
Sales from the KH 910 will help fund the development and certification of the eKnitter board for the KH 930, which is already well advanced.
How Does eKnitter Work?
The eKnitter mainboard functions differently from the original electronics. Instead of pressing buttons on the machine, you will control it via a computer. However, the original button panel is still used, but with different functions assigned to it.
Do I Need Experience with the Brother KH 910?
The knitting process remains unchanged, as the machine’s mechanical functionality stays the same. We recommend reviewing the machine’s knitting instructions for best results. The only difference is how patterns are loaded—eKnitter allows you to easily transfer digital patterns (PNG files) from a computer via Wi-Fi.
What patterns can I use with eKnitter?
eKnitter works with any PNG files, with a maximum width of 200 pixels (equivalent to 200 needles) and more than enough rows.
Nearly all Brother patterns in PNG format from the official Pattern Books (for KH 910, KH 930, KH 965, and more) are included.
Additionally, you can create your own patterns using any software that supports the PNG format.
What Else Do I Need?
To use eKnitter uses the follwoing software eKnitter-v0.95.2. We currently provide a link to this version, as it has been tested for compatibility with eKnitter.
This software is free and can developed further by anyone who enjoys coding.
We built eKnitter for people who want a simple, secure, and reliable upgrade for their knitting machine—without missing out on any features. No coding, no soldering, no guesswork. Just plug it in and start creating.
We’re always working to make eKnitter even better. Right now, it fits perfectly inside your knitting machine—so well that you can barely see it. The only visible changes are the screen and the changed button functions.
One big advantage of this design is the built-in WiFi, which works smoothly without extra parts or setup.
We’ve also made sure that every eKnitter board is equipped with more technique than it currently needs, so it’s ready for future developments/firmware updates.
How Do I Update the Firmware When It Is Ready?
Once the new firmware is released, an update file will be provided. The update process will look like this:
- Connect your eKnitter board to your computer via cable.
- Open the provided open source software.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update (this will take a few minutes).
- Once updated, you are ready to knit again.
A detailed step-by-step guide will be provided when the update is available.
What Is the WebApp?
The WebApp is a standalone alternative to the open source software.
- The WebApp is a webpage created by the eKnitter mainboard.
- After updating your firmware, you will be able to use the WebApp.
- It allows you to operate your knitting machine from any device, including Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS.
- More details will be revealed once the WebApp is fully standalone.
Who Gets Access to the WebApp?
All eKnitter customers will receive free download to the WebApp. We will notify users via email and on our website when the new firmware version is available for download.
Flexible Power Options
You can power eKnitter KH 910 using the original Brother internal power supply or an external power supply. If you choose an external power supply, please ensure it meets our recommended specifications.
