[@projectmonke2336]

Clever idea to use buttons for your chess notation input! Definitely makes it easier for a DIY project, I've made a chessboard with sensors under each square, and that just adds a lot of complexity. Also, I love the sleek design, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your machines in the future.

[@DIYMachines]

Thank you. I have another prototype I'm working on with sensors - this is how this one started out but then I realised I could provide the majority of the features for much less cost and complexity if I used the buttons for input. So I made this budget friendly but high in features version and hope to make the 'deluxe' one another project in the future.

[@asmolbean9300]

@@DIYMachines yeah I just didn't have the time to solder all the reed switches into their grids, too fiddly. I wanted one that would detect the movements through a wooden chess board with wooden pieces so that my grandfather could play across the internet and not be confused with all the high tech looking stuff. I know you can buy usb sensor boards for £10-30 but they're all really cheap plastic and too sensitive. Probably controlled with a combo of esp32 acting as an Arduino and back up WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as handling the engine code, then a pi zero or maybe a full size pi, a zero should be fine though, as the esp32 is handling the engine, the zero just has to interface with the lichess API or whatever.

Brilliant tutorial - just wondering and apologies that this is a very silly newbie question but I cannot figire it out. How does the code know which square to light up? Because the LED's are in a long strip and I'm striggling to visualise it. Thank you

[@DIYMachines]

Thanks. No problem, the LED's are 'addressable' which means they have three wires going to them. One for power, one for ground and one for signal. The signal wire tell's the Led's what colour and brightness to light up. learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/the-magic-of-neopixels

[@DIYMachines]

Thanks. The first version of my protype had this feature, but it was going to result in a lot of soldering and parts so I opted for simplicity. I hope to make one with the features you mentioned and some more sometime in the future.

[@putifar123]

Why don't you use a usb cable between the nano and the pi, instead of a serial connection with extra level shifter?

[@DIYMachines]

That is a good question. Originally I was going to use a USB cable but the internal size constraints made it easier to use the level shifter. I could have probably found a fancy right angled, ultra short cable but I decided it would be easier for others to follow if I used the more common shifter instead of a harder to source cable.

[@adilapaydin5980]

@DIY Machines I finished this project can you make this chess using magnetic sensor will you make such a video please make a chess board using magnetic sensor

[@poly_hexamethyl]

How do those LED strips work? You can light arbitrary locations with arbitrary colors with only 3 wires? It seems they must have more than just LEDs on them....some electronics to decode a digital signal sent on one of the wires that tells it which LED to light with which color?

[@DIYMachines]

It's exactly as you expected. Each LED has a microcontroller that reads what brightness and colour it should be. The data is sent as a long list of values. The first LED reads this receives the entire list on the data wire, looks at the value for the first LED and reacts to that. It then discards the first LED's data from the information and passes it to the next LED. This repeats this process of following the first instruction line, discarding it and then passing the rest of the file on. This way each LED does not require a specific address, they kind of 'take one pass it on'. :)

[@poly_hexamethyl]

@@DIYMachines Wow, cool! Thanks for explaining. As someone who played around with electronics in the 70's my first thought for lighting up the squares was incandescant panel bulbs and a lot of wires to some TTL driver chips. (Well, hey, at least I do have some experience with ICs, if only stone age ones :-) And sawing up pieces of wood for the partitions, when here you go with the magic of 3d printers! Amazing what you can get these days. Keep up the awesome work!

Hello, maybe my question is stupid, but forgive me, wouldn't it be better to use sensors for the movement of the pieces, so as to avoid always pressing buttons? Is it a complicated thing?

[@DIYMachines]

Hi Volendo, my first prototype used magnetic sensor to detect parts and magnets in the chess pieces. However, I decided to remove this feature as it required a lot of soldering and parts, one of my design goals was to make it as accessible as possible and some of this result in minimising soldering and cost.

Thanks for the great video! I'm trying to build this myself, but I have two issues I don't really know how to solve: One of them is that when I power everything through the micro usb power, the pi does not seem to boot up. I solved this issue temporarily by powering the pi directly and then powering the other components with the micro usb power (I unplugged the pi from the external usb power), but I was wondering if there is a way to fix this. The more severe issue is the buttons are not doing anything. The board boots up fine, but I get stuck at the first choose opponent screen, and hitting the buttons do not do anything. I checked the wiring multiple times and it seems to be fine, and I have all the required libraries on both the arduino and the pi. I am not sure what the issue is here. Thank you! Update: the arduino and buttons now seem to be working, but now python throws an error saying "utf-8 cant decode byte 0xd0 in position 1: invalid continuation byte".
