What way do you imagine to provide the moves?
I have no established ideas. I was just thinking about how one can broadcast games at the local chessclub live on a website, without purchasing the usual software (ToMa). I don't have boards yet, but was wondering whether this driver just produces a stream of text (moves/clock) which could be fed to something else. From your reaction, I understand that this wouldn't be that hard. The harder part may be webpage part, using this datastream to get a java applet, a flashprogram, or whatever to visualize the game. > I've one DGT board and now one DGT clock, I was never able > to check if the DGTs BUS protocol works, which would allow > to hook up a bunch of boards at once. > > I just know that in this case some extension would be > necessary to dgtdrv to demultiplex all the incoming moves. If I can manage to get access to more than one DGT board, I will ping you again.
