Knitserver is a Flask-based REST API server that wraps the Knitlib library to control knitting machines, exposing endpoints and WebSocket-based async callbacks for real-time machine communication. It is designed to work with the Knitweb frontend.
Use cases
- control a knitting machine from a web app
- expose knitlib functionality over a REST API
- stream real-time knitting machine status and errors via websockets
- build a web interface for machine knitting
- send needle position and carriage commands to a knitting machine
When to choose
- you want to drive a knitting machine from Knitweb or a custom web frontend
- you need a REST/WebSocket bridge to Knitlib on a local machine
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or packaged solution - the project has had no releases since 2017
- you are not working with Knitlib-compatible knitting machines
