AVL Drive 1.0: Free Loom Control Software for Compu-Dobby® IV and 4.5

AVL Drive 1.0: Free Loom Control Software for Compu-Dobby® IV and 4.5

AVLDrive 1.0 is loom control software to drive your AVL Compu-Dobby loom. It's compatible with Compu-Dobby IV, 4.5 and Little Weaver 1.0, and Mac or Windows operating systems. As loom control software, it runs WIF (Weaving Interface Format) files via a clear and intuitive dashboard to drive your loom. 

NOTES:

  • AVL Drive is not design software. To design weaving patterns, we recommend WeavePoint.
  • AVLDrive v1.0 is not compatible with Compu-Dobbys I, II, III, or III+. These earlier Compu-Dobbys all require third party software, such as WeavePoint.
  • AVLDrive v1.0 is not compatible with Compu-Dobby 5 or Little Weaver 2. Compu-Dobby 5 & Little Weaver 2 run an internal version of AVLDrive within its firmware. The firmware requires no external software installation by the customer.

Downloads:

AVLAdmin, AVLUpdate and AVLUtilities are separate programs used for firmware updating over the internet and setting up WiFi. These are compatible with Compu-Dobby 4.5 and Little Weaver 1.0, but not with Compu-Dobby IV as it does not have WiFi nor the ability to do online updating.
