Hi,
What are the benefits of the Dgt Pi solution versus having a 3000 clock and a separate pi? Are there any?
Thanks
Paul

[DJ Dekker]

Hi Paul,

One great benefit of the DGTPi vs. DGT3000 with separate RaspberryPi is that DGTPi is really *a lot* more responsive. The computer inside the DGTPi is wired directly to the clock instead of being connected through a cable.

Another benefit is that with DGTPi you'll have less stuff lying around on your table.

Greetings,
DJ

Hello DJ,

Besides that everyone needs to judge the prices for each setup on his own, what about flexibility in tweaking Picochess the way you like (i.e. UCI options and time controls, WLAN an security options)? How do updates work and how about major releases, wich so far, need more user actions as long as there is no image available?

Thanks for your comments

Uwe

[DJ Dekker]

Hi Uwe,

The DGTPi user can tweak the PicoChess settings in the same way as all users who are running PicoChess on their Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. You can, for example, setup an SSH connection to the Raspberry Pi 3 that's inside the DGTPi exactly like you would SSH into any other Raspberry Pi. Instead of using an SSH connection, you can also connect a keyboard and screen and operate the RPi3 inside that way. DGTPi is running on Raspbian Jessie with the PicoChess software at GitHub that's freely available to anyone.

There actually is an image of the DGTPi setup at http://www.digitalgametechnology.com/index.php/support1/dgt-software/dgt-chess-computers/dgt-pi-1

Greetings,

DJ

Hi all,

I don't own a DGT clock as I can't 'plug' it into my Revelation II (my only DGT board) so my only connection is via Bluetooth from my RPi. So before the DGTpi came along I was stuck with my 'XL Clock like' display of my Rev II.

If I buy a DGTpi then at least I'd have the better display and functions of the DGT clock, but can I justify the extra expense when I already have a very good working system ?

Cheers,

Al.

I - as a main developer - also guilty of the DGTPi software (haha) posted some thoughts (advantages/disadvantages) here:

Thanks for the post.

Am I right in understanding that I could take a 0.77 image and have the Dgt Pi run straight from that?

I like the tidiness of the solution for sure.

[Al]

Hi Paul,

Yes you are correct, it's exactly the same software .....

Cheers,

Not proprietary software, just the same picochess code with published open source modifications to optimize its use without the audio cable.

Awesome, thanks!

Here's a short video showing the difference in responsiveness between DGT Pi and DGT 3000:

That is quite a marked improvement in response speed.

Be interesting to see how the option of having twin clocks might develop, showing more data too.

Thanks for the video

HI DJ,

In order to have a WiFi connection do you need to add a wifi dongle to the DGT Pi like the ordinary RP2? I suppose you alse have to tweak the parameters for the wifi connection to have it connected to a tablet to follow the game for istance.

Thanks

Stefano 

[DJ Dekker]

Hi Stefano,

No, you don't need a separate wifi dongle when you've got the DGT Pi. It has as Raspberry Pi 3 inside which (unlike Raspberry Pi 2) has wifi and Bluetooth on board already.

You'll need to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf in order to enable the web server.

Greetings,

DJ
