Personal Progress<\/p>\n

My focus this week has been identify the appropriate gui for our smart chess board. I narrowed down the requirements for the gui by creating a very simple sequence for the workflow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Player picks up piece, triggers sensor<\/li>\n
  2. Sensor data goes to ADC<\/li>\n
  3. ADC data is processed by pi, sent to gui<\/li>\n
  4. gui receives position, sends UCI (Universal Chess Interface) string to stockfish chess engine.<\/li>\n
  5. stockfish processes the potential moves, sends data to led lights<\/li>\n
  6. lights light up, indicating possible next moves\/suggested next moves<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Therefore, we\u00a0need a customizable gui that’s capable of interpreting sensor data as a position, and generating the appropriate uci string to send to the stockfish engine.<\/p>\n

    I feel that it took a lot of time to reach this point because there is a lot of complexity behind chess engines and gui’s that I was not familiar with. I wasn’t sure what the underlying protocols were between the gui and the ai\/chess engine. This critical link will allow us to translate movement on the board to a format that the chess engine will understand, so I felt that it was important to get this correct.<\/p>\n

    I’ve looked at several different chess gui’s, but I have yet to identify one that will support uci and allow us to use different inputs, since we are not using a keyboard but we are moving pieces on a physical chess board. There will be a learning curve, but the goal is to have a solid candidate and a backup by the end of next week.<\/p>\n

    Schedule<\/p>\n

    I’m a little behind schedule, because I hoped to have the gui selected by this week. However, I’m starting to realize that the requirements for the gui are more complex than I previously expected, so it’s taking more time than I hoped. We have built in a buffer into our plan, and I have a good idea of what I’m looking for, so I hope that I will have this part of the project done soon.<\/p>\n

    Deliverable<\/p>\n

    I hope to have a gui selected by next week, along with an appropriate back up if the gui turns out not to meet our requirements.<\/p>\n
