Knitlib is a library designed to support the operation of varied knitting machines, mechanisms, and hacks. Knitlib is based on projects like AYAB, PDD, and KnitterStream to control knitting machines. Knitlib features a plugin system for knitting machines and implements an API to control machines' operation, knitting jobs and knitting patterns. The software is based on Python. There also is a Web API. Among the primary tasks is to develop plugins based on this solution to add support for more machines.

Knitlib is implemented as a Python Library and API. Each machine is supported via a Plugin, allowing for extensibility. Each of the plugins is based on a simple Finite State Machine, with states from machine initialization to operation and knitting process. Among the aplications using the Knitlib API is Knitlib-server, implementing a Webserver and REST / WebSocket endpoints. Clients can also implement message callbacks, errors, notifications and blocking messages in order to provide a good user experience.

pip install -r requirements.txt pip install knitlib
