DGT Support

Excellent, I will keep you posted. I am hoping to have a proof of concept working quite soon, and will upload a video.

@Bracco I had the old serial board, and recently converted it to a usb board. Any version of the board will be supported though

@andrewrimmer: For my curiosity: how did you manage to convert your board to USB? Did you send it back to the factory to get it converted? TIA

@Bracco you can buy a conversion kit from DGT. It includes a bit of drilling but it's pretty simple. It is nice not to need a power supply or serial adaptor anymore

Demo of DGT board working with lichess. Should work on Windows, Mac and Linux. The demo is on a Mac www.youtube.com/watch?v=sneiI0vbUXk&feature=share

@andrewrimmer:
can you provide a link about how to buy the conversion kit? Not scared abput drilling ;-) Thanks in advance
watched your video on youtube. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

@bracco I contacted support@dgtprojects.com, and then Frits sent a purchase order. It is quite expensive, but it is a nice upgrade.

The video on how to do it is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r9XNL2aZXI

If you do end up upgrading your board, don't miss out drilling the holes for screwing the usb plate in. I used self driving screws and thought i wouldn't need to drill, sadly this ended up splitting the wood onthe side. Barely noticeable really, but frustrating as I had finished all the 'hard' work. I am more used to programming than DIY :)

Nice video, but man! 4...c6??
Was Stockfish drunk? :-)

Just kidding - keep it up! I'm already looking forward to doing some testing ;-)

@chessanalyst There is a usb dgt board forsale on ebay right now for $675 I believe. Just listed.

This Android app has a DGT board integration working using Bluetooth so I thought you guys might be interested to have a look.
