In order to connect to the loom, your device must either have a USB port or
the ability to connect to the internet. There are three ways to connect a
device to the loom:
Connection Type
Description
USB
USB cable from your device to the loom. Only
devices with USB ports can connect this way.
LAN (Local Area
Network)
Through a router. Only devices with WiFi can
connect this way.
LoomDirect
Connection to the loom’s local WiFi network
(not through a router). Only devices with WiFi
can connect this way.
The software interface (AVLDrive) is web browser based so you do not need
to download anything. Simply open your standard web browser (Chrome,
Safari, Firefox, etc.) and type in the loom’s address.
When the loom is started, it will try to connect to the router (LAN) it is
normally connected to first. If it cannot find the router, it will start
LoomDirect. The USB connection is always available.

The loom is designed to be controlled through the AVLDrive software, so
there is no “power” button anywhere on the loom.
We recommend the use of a good surge protector between the outlet and
UPS on the Compu-Dobby 5, especially in regions subject to lightning strikes
and other extreme electrical anomaly incidences. In areas prone to
brown/black out or power grid fluctuations, we recommend a 800W, 1000VA
UPS for Compu-Dobby 5 equipped loom.
Standby Mode:
When you plug the loom in it enters Standby Mode. The loom is designed to
be left plugged in and in Standby Mode at all times. In standby power mode,
the loom consumes very little power, and maintains the network connection
to the router or LoomDirect WiFi.
