I posted a brief video on connecting Chess for Android with the House of Staunton and Zmartfun sensory board and clock combination.

do you have more information about the board? The board is 23x23 inch^2, you can install the piece chips in any chess set, and indeed has no LEDs. I just completed adding both the USB and Bluetooth protocol of the board and clock to Chess for Android and will post the release on Google Play shortly...

I just got this very elegant sensory board with weighed pieces and TapNset-Pro Chess Clock. The board supports both USB and bluetooth connection. Can't wait to hack the protocol into Chess for Android! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAzJrAoa8AAQs47?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/...

You are very welcome, everyone. Each next board is a nice new challenge that I enjoy!

Starting with v6.8, Chess for Android now also supports the Chessup electronic chessboard. Note that the protocol in this board differs from the typical protocol in the sense that most work is already done on the board itself (display moves, check valid moves, etc.). So, this was actually a bit more...

Any predictions for connection to lichess and chess.com? Oh, I have many features on my TODO list, but those two are not very likely. I support the open nature of FICS and ICC. In the meanwhile, a new board for my collection, the ChessUp board. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3m36RHacAA6wDa?format=web...

Thanks all!

I have also received the API for the Chessnut EVO and am exploring this by showing the Dutch flag through its LEDs...

In this Epic Electronic Chessboard show-down video, I discuss all electronic chessboards supported by Chess for Android , featuring all major vendors, Certabo from Italy, Chessnut from China, DGT from the Netherlands, and Millennium from Germany. https://youtu.be/NDRvSb1N_Gk https://pbs.twimg.com/me...

How about something like this?

Thanks all!

The Chessnut EVO arrived today as well, so I am eagerly awaiting more information on its specific API so I can start hacking!

Those were good times!

I have posted a brief instructional video on connecting Chess for Android to the Chessnut Pro.

This is an off topic question. Is it possible for you replace your build in opening book with a larger one? Or give us the option to select a custom book. Perhaps in Poliglot (bin) format. Thanks for the question Murat. I know my answer is getting a bit old, but I have been swamped with work the pa...

Chessnut just shipped me the beautiful Pro chessboard for testing with Chess for Android, and luckily everything works out of the box! Just like the compact Air, connecting over Bluetooth is easy. But the Pro, with a wooden 55cm board (55mm squares) and wooden pieces offers a very elegant tournament...

My good friend at Certabo shipped me a beautiful TabuTronic electronic chess board (with magnets for any piece set) and after an evening of hacking I got the new protocol working with Chess for Android!
