Re: Comments on the Revelation II dedicated chess computer
Hi
I agree with most of your smart remarks, I would have preferred a separate display unit rather than on the board. The consequence is that it makes the huge chessboard while the squares are smaller than those of a DGT-Eboard. It must have to reach out and play what is not comfortable to play seated. This is the main reason I hesitate to buy the computer.

I'd be happy to buy one with serial #000002 as soon as the system is available.sje wrote:Instead of buying a Revelation II, I'll make my own Revolution I. I'll use my DGT board, its DGT pieces, a cheap Android tablet, some connection circuitry, and some of my own chess software with voice I/O.
All the custom stuff will go in a separate wood box which will connect to the board with a coiled USB cable. On the front of the box, a label:
Revolution I
Serial number 000001
Hmmmm, I quite liked the idea of #64 , who knows what number mine will be now....Steve B wrote:Seems those waiting for their Rev ll boards will be getting them soon...

Hi Mikechesspcmac wrote:To all the GURUS!! Can you set up a position in Polgar emulation? because Im trying but I cant.
Mike
to be honest setting up a position with the normal Polgar modules is not so easy either
anyway..
i was able to set up a position with the Polgar emulation
its tricky because you have to remember to always use the keyboard for the Emulation and not the keys for the Rev II
You have to make sure when you use the ENT and CLR keys that you are using the Polgar's keys and not the Rev ll's ENT or Clear Keys
to set up a position
remove all of the pieces
then Press POS and ENT(on the Polgar screen..not the Rev II keys)
you will see a bright line above the Rook Piece symbol key
you can now place rooks on the board
one press of the Rook Symbol key for WR.. two presses for BR
now you can choose the other pieces
always one press for W
two presses for B
when all done press the CLR key(again on the Polgar screen NOT the Rev II
screen)
it takes a little practice but you will get it

Steve, thanks man. But I give up, I was like 90 minutes total trying to set up a position and somehow it doesnt work. Maybe FEKALI has a video LOL!!!
From now on E1 refers to the ENT POLGAR, and E2 refers to the REV II' ent.
OK here I go lets say I want to set up a position with 2WR, 2BR and 1Black Knight
1) press POS and the ENT (using E2 for both instances)
2)place both WRs on the board and now waht? Do I press E1 once more two switch to BLACK, or do I press POS x2 or only once to start placing the black rooks
Im going crazy, another question Steve, If learn this madness. All the other Mephistos work the same way right?
Well I hope Steve or some other REV brother can shed a light on this
Thank you guys
confused as S#@% regards

Setting up positions for the Polgar is not the same as for the other mephisto modules
it might be helpful if you had the manuals for the modules
Alain's Site does have most of them
