Louet Megado Electronic Interface

The Megado can be equipped with the Computer Dobby 2.0. This is the upgraded electronic dobby for the Louët Megado, introduced in 2017 and makes the dobby system less dependent on weaving software and computer operating systems. It is a small wooden box that hangs on the right side of the loom. In this box is a minicomputer that controls the shaft selection of the dobby mechanism. During weaving you can follow shaft selection on the web browser of your tablet or computer via a direct WIFIconnection using the proprietary Louet weaving software which was designed to drive your loom. You can make adjustments to the shaft selection pattern via this Dobby-2.0 web interface. Weaving patterns in WIF file format can be imported onto the Dobby 2.0 via a USB stick.

The computer dobby is driven by a computer. The number of pics determines the length of your pattern repeat. 3rd party software can drive the dobby.  Compatible software packages are Fiberworks PCW, Pointcarre Dobby weaving software, Patternland, Weavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint, Winweef or Pro Weave.
