If you can, please send it to valsac@sbb.rs. So far I've reconstructed rotary encoder circuit on back needle bed, and it sends +5v signal back to memomatic circuit and is powered by memomatic (I guess Vcc here is +15v). Aside from that I've reconstructed power supply and it is based around voltage regulator 7815 so it seems it supplies 15v dc, and 24-27 ac since it has unregulated leads as well. Now I'm trying to understand how needle magnets on back carriage are powered. I understand one lead is coming from cursor (and it seems that driving belt tied to cursor is tied directly to +15v(?) (orange) wire that comes from memomatic. But I don't understand yet how the signal is sent since cursors appears to be tied directly to +15v. Memomatic is counting needle position from rotary encoder pulses, it is powering cursor with 15v (?) but where is the "signal" for needle selection (seems like machine bed is used for that, probably by leftmost pin marked "self" if I could read it correctly from schematics). In any case, thanks for help and all input. Regards :) Thanks, I’d appreciate that very much! If you can, please send it to valsac@sbb.rs.

When you press the dpad left, left registers as "down"; when you let go, left registers as "up".

Patrick (aka the god of Superba knitting) was kind enough to supply it, and I'd be happy to share the PDF with you. Just let me know where to email it.

I'm working on reviving on of those memomatics, but since I don't have operational device to start with, and schematics supplied on superba knitting site are scanned very badly so I can't read markings on edge connector, I'm curious if you happen to know voltage used for driving magnets on back carriage (15v?) for needle selection and voltage for rotary encoder built into back needle bed tied with cursor. All those connectors lead to 4 leads on right hand side of memomatic unit that connect machine bed to. Unlike pressure pad models that use internals rotary encoder, memomatic you pictured has it's own, redundant, encoder inside driving over plastic shaft, placed between those 4 pins on machine bed connector. Any info would be appreciated, since model I'm trying to revive is quite beyond repair so I might have to build new one from scratch. Hey, great post.

I no can haz underground developer community!!!??? is there a conspiracy behind this or something or everybody hates smartpens, maybe they're just underappreciated. why is develop[ment not possible do I need to spend weeks hacking it before I begin to develop?? who else is with me? who wants to help me hack and start the dev community again?
