You can change the pick to be woven by using the right or left arrow keys on
the keyboard, or by entering the exact pick number to weave. If the shed is
closed, the solenoids will fire to adjust the pick. The display will be adjusted
to show the changes. Changing the pick with the arrow keys is the fastest
way to step through the design.
When a range is set, the pick will “wrap around” when the value would stray
outside the bounds set by the range.
When opening the last file you used, most versions of the Compu-Dobby 5
software will ask you if you want to resume where you left off at your last
weaving session. If you have an older version, it may not save your last
pick. In this case, enter the pick you want to start this weaving session with.
You can also use this feature to start at a different pick then the one you left
off at for design purposes.
Note:
Check the current pick to see what will be opened when you treadle. If the
current pick is zero, treadle once to advance to the correct pick.
