Complete with faux carbon case designed for the piface buttons and display....looks very professional.

I don't have an image hosting account anywhere or I'd post a picture!

I think the adafruit display is slightly better but until a proper case is available for that it still looks a bit "project".

Gavon and Pycochess are both very interesting projects for the Pi.

I've now managed to connect picochess on the Pi to my Revelation II via bluetooth 8)

Should also work with a standard dgt bluetooth board too.

Your Pico image is rather old, I'd upgrade that first before trying.

There's a big update in the works (version 0.25) to be released soon with complete rewrite of the code. I suggest waiting a week or so.

If you are comfortable linuxing, try this:

The file you need to edit is ~/git/stockfish/pico_dgt_bt. The pairing code for the Rev (1234) needs to be added, here is the updated version:

The Citrine has a very simple protocol, supporting it is relatively easy and Picochess developers are well aware of it. At this time the only problem is lack of a test unit.

Hallo Izmet,
Thank you very much for your answer. I have update the file pico_dgt_bt
, but mine Revelation II not connect to the raspberry(pico chess)
I think that the file pic0_dgt_bt is not execute. I d'nt see it on mine terminal(HDMI TV). Thus I think I must wait for the image update of 0.25.
When it is update, were I can download it.

Thanks very much,
