Design A Knit communicates with your knitting machine via a cable between your computer and the knitting machine. Soft Byte developed during the development of Design A Knit also a set of cables to connect your computer to your knitting machine. These cables use a serial port of your computer.

In 2003 we developed the SilverLink 4 to resolve the problems concerning mispatterning caused by the fact that Windows cannot work real time. The SilverlLink 4 provides both serial and USB connectivity.

We have now also developed the SilverLink 3 USB. The SilverLink 3 USB can be connected directly to a USB port on your pc without the need for a serial to USB converter. The SilverLink 3 USB has the same functionality as the current SilverLink 3. The difference (apart from a complete new design) is that you no longer need a serial port on your PC and that the EC1 or the knitting machine is no longer required for transfer of pattern from and to the PE1. You hook up your PE1 to your PC via USB.

The SilverLink 6 USB combines the functionality of the SilverLink 3 USB and the ScreenLink USB. You can transfer patterns to the PE1 like you would do with the SilverLink 3 USB and you can knit interactive like you would do with a ScreenLink USB.

*Upgradable to SilverKnit. Serial model available on request. Ruggedized 7-pin Curl cord connector. Compatible with SK550 SK560 SK580 SK830 SK840 SK860 SK890 560LC LC580 LC830 AG50 Knitting Machines. SK500 supported via extra SK500Ex extension.
