USB cable that connects the Dobby to the computer. When the Dobby is connected
to the computer via USB cable connection, the web interface software is temporarily
deactivated. Once you unplug the USB cable from the Dobby, you can use the web
interface software again.
The instructions for creating the connection can be found in the Dobby 2.0
Installation Guide and in the manual of the independent weaving software program.
Although you do not need commercial weaving software to control the Dobby, this
software is certainly useful for creating patterns. The advantage of the Dobby 2.0
web interface software is that you do not have to put your computer on or next to the
loom and you can use the wireless (WiFi) connection.
Register your Dobby 2.0 at louetdobby.nl or louetdobby.com
After registering your dobby on
louetdobby.com
you will get access to the Dobby 2.0
user page. Here you can find tips, free Dobby patterns,
information about software updates and ask questions.
When registering, you will need the serial number of the
Dobby. This is on the label under the solenoid. NOTE:
Write down your serial number as you will need it in any
software upgrade process and its not visible when the
dobby is mounted on the loom.
