'Pi Board' is an advanced automatic chess system powered by Raspberry Pi
The 'Pi Board' has been released, which uses a Raspberry Pi-controlled motor mechanism and magnets to automatically move chess pieces forward.
PI Chess Board
Using the 'Pi Board' created by mechatronics engineer Tamerlan, it is possible to play as if the pieces were moving by themselves. In the following example, there is a white knight in the F3 square.
Using the Pi Board's functions, the knight moved to E5 on its own, pushing the black pawn aside. This means that the knight has captured the pawn. The knight is sometimes called a 'jumper' in some regions, and makes irregular moves by jumping over pieces, but the 'Pi Board' seems to be able to handle the complex movements of the knight.
The opposing player manually removed the captured black pawn from the board.
Removing pieces from the board seems to be a human job, and when I captured the white pawn on square E4, the other player had to manually remove the piece.
According to the developer, the idea for developing the Pi Board came from being inspired by the portable chess board ' Square Off .'
The most important point is the mechanism that moves the piece using a stepping motor that moves on the XY axis.
The knight's movement was achieved by moving the piece in front of it to an empty space, moving the knight, and then returning the piece that had been moved half a step to its original position.
