knitting pattern programmer device ppd110 for knitting machine brother

For sale is a used Brother PPD-110 Pattern Programming Device, a classic tool for creating, modifying, and storing your own knitting patterns. It is designed to work with specific Brother electronic knitting machines by selecting the correct mode: MODE 1 for the KH-940 and KH-950i, and MODE 2 for the KH-930.This device connects to a television to display a pattern creation grid. Using the onboard cursor and DRAW/ERASE keys, you can design your own patterns directly on the screen. You can assign colours to your design from a 15-colour palette to visualise the final result. Designs can incorporate the main yarn and up to 8 contrast colours, with the colour data being transferable to the knitting machine.

Patterns are saved onto a removable Program Cartridge, which has a battery that retains the memory for up to five years. For expanded storage, the PPD-110 can also be connected to an optional Floppy Disc Drive Unit to save and load patterns from 3.5-inch floppy disks.

The PPD-110 is a powerful design tool with many advanced functions. You can load existing patterns (from the machine's built-in library, created patterns, or an optional pattern disc) and apply variations such as Reverse, Upside Down, Double Width, Double Length, and Negative. It also includes a built-in character set of letters and numbers to create text-based designs.
