let pattern = new Electroknit.Pattern('test.jpg');
 
machine.on('ready', function() {
 
  machine.start(pattern);
 
  machine.on('update:sensors', function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  });
});
 

App

I've built an Electron app to use with this module that makes it easy to visualize your knitting process. (Coming Soon!)
