Introduction
This page contains documentation about how to physically connect your AYAB Interface to your knitting machine.
This page shows how to connect the AYAB Interface from Evil Mad Scientist to your Brother KH-900 knitting machines, and to similar machines such as the Knitking CompuKnit ST. For other hardware, please see our main AYAB Hardware Installation page.
Installation instructions
This is the Brother KH-900 knitting machine. Remove the two screws on top of the machine that hold the right part of the top cover in place.
After removing those screws, the right part of the top cover can be lifted out of place.
Disconnect all of the cables that connect the circuit board inside this cover to the rest of the machine.
All of the multiwire cables can easily be disconnected. However, one green "ground" wire remains.
As for that last "ground" wire, you can either leave it connected (in which case the original cover sits awkwardly held by that wire) or unscrew the lug that holds it in place.
The AYAB Interface comes with two plastic covers for the circuit board, as well as cable ties to hold them in place.
These covers have laser-cut openings that expose only the connectors that you will need with the KH-900. There is a different cover for the front and back. The cover for the front has five openings for the connectors as well as a window for the name of the board, and the back side has openings for the power and USB ports.
Fit the two covers into place, and loosely attach them to the board with the cable ties.
