#AUTO CHESS BOARD SOFTWARE#

This software controls the motors and runs the calibration system to spatially the mecha-magnet. The main program is embedded into an ESP32 microcontroller.Tavo developed a three stage software that controls all the features: Under the wood veneer + composite surface the sensor array it’s placed to detect the position of each piece and it is composed of five hundred SS39E hall-effect sensors interconnected with an HC4067 multiplexor. The case is constructed by an aluminium composite sheet with wood veneer for the board surface, and aluminium exterior frame to add support, MDF interior to hold the electronics and an aluminium composite sheet as the bottom plate. I’ll share with you all the files up to this version so you can build your own Phantom Chess, in the files section you will find everything you need: the assembly and 3D model files for each system The hardware of the first prototype is conformed by the Scara mechanism, hall effect sensors array, mecha-magnet and 3 microcontrollers running all the features. The next step is to be sure all systems are working perfectly fine together before starting important changes. Hi there! I believe naming “automatic chessboard” is not so appealing so I decided to name it: Phantom.Even less appealing is to keep Phantom just to myself, so I decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign as recommended by some of you!ĭuring the last months, I have been sharing the development process and improvements made to the board week by week and got to the conclusion to close the first version to decide the following steps to improve it.
