This connectivity module allows to use the millennium exclusive chess board together with any software implementing the open interface.

Jürgen: Will you run Picochess in the Chessgenius board?

Hello Jürgen,

On the Millenium Homepage they write: „The C-Module features both a USB port as well as a Bluetooth receiver.
This being an open system, the specifications are released to any interested developers worldwide. The MILLENNIUM interface code can be integrated into any GUI, e.g. Android or Apple iOS smartphones and tablets, as well as Windows or Apple computers.“

The specification are released to ANY interested develloper WORLDWIDE!!!!!!!
If you write them an email they give you the specification 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I hope you will do it - Picochess with leds!!! Soooooo Greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat!!

Hello Peter,

no offense, but really just a question for curiosity reasons: what is so cool about having LED blinking on the board?
I think, that I personally would be deflected from concentration OTB.

ah, almost. forgotten: wasn’t it you besides Al who has ordered the self moving square-off board?
Have you got it on hands already?

Cheers

Uwe

I love the LEDs flashing for moves on PicoChess with my Revelation II, just my opinion ....

As you was employed in a banking company, Al, if i’m right, you know that receivables are usually written off 100 after one year :-)

cross my fingers thatit all works out fine for you!

And thank for stating your „taste“ (hope it’s the correct word) with regard to the LED.
(Just for remembering the good old times when it all started with computer chess I can share your thoughts)
Reminds me to find somebody who has a commodore chessmate - i need an mp3 from the loosing and winning jingles...)

Have nice Easter holiday,

and a good (k)night

The leds are great! No starring on the clock ... easy, uncomplicated ... I love it. This is a much better solution like the DGT board. In July there comes the bluetooth modul. Aark Bits works already on the FICS integration in his android app. So you can play on a wooden chess board with NICE leds again other human players.
In July also ios will support the board (Hiarcs) its not only a chesscomputer it will become a great chess SYSTEM!!

Will picochess support the Chessgenius Exclusive via Chess Link and Bluetooth? What are the current plans?

Cheers,

Hi friends, well I am not an expert but I dont see why is not technically possible to upgrade picochess to support Chessgenius Exclusive.  Both are open source and bluetooth and usb compatible.  Even Jurgen stated that it is quite possible.  Off course tatking time to do that is another matter.

Best regards,

Santiago

You must have a different Chess Genius Exclusive - it’s not Bluetooth and I’m not sure about being open source - certainly Genius and the King are not open source.

Chessgenius exclusive has a Bluetooth link accessory which can be bought separately.  Its protocol is opensource and can be integrated with picochess.

Go for it - good luck.  Let me know how that works out for you. (Although, I have no need for it.)
