The DesignaKnit USB Brotherlink 1
For Brother electronic machines
What this link does
Uploading and downloading patterns between DesignaKnit and the KH930, KH940,
KH950i, KH965i, and KH970 knitting machines.
Uploading and downloading between DesignaKnit and the PPD with cartridge III in the
mode for the KH900. It is also suitable for use with the PPD + CK35 cartridge.
If used with a Knitlink arm, this cable link becomes a USB Brotherlink 5 and will therefore
support interactive knitting in DesignaKnit with almost any knitting machine. In this case,
the instructions for the USB Brotherlink 5 should be referred to instead of this document -
see https://softbyte.co.uk/cablelinkmanuals.htm for all our cable link manuals.
If used in conjunction with the DesignaKnit PPD Adapter, it is also suitable for use with
the PPD in modes for KH270, KH930, KH940, KH950i, KH965, KH965i, and KH970, and
for uploading from the Stitch Pattern Extras Cartridge. When the PPD Adapter is added,
the USB Brotherlink 1 cable effectively becomes converted to a USB Brotherlink 3 cable,
when the instructions for the USB Brotherlink 3 should be referred to instead of this
document. See https://softbyte.co.uk/cablelinksbrother.htm for the PPD Adaptor and
https://softbyte.co.uk/cablelinkmanuals.htm for all our cable link manuals.
