I created a Bluetooth enabled, smart Chessboard. SmartChess utilizes an integrated circuit to recognize where there are pieces on the board. That information is sent to the accompanying app, which provides the user with a live view of the board. The app can give hints, recommend moves, and enforces legal moves. Before building the board and frame, the internal circuit was created. An 8x8 matrix of reed switches was soldered together, creating a logic circuit to detect pieces with embedded magnets. This circuit, along with the Bluetooth module, and various other components, were soldered to the Arduino. The entire board was handmade with the frame built from walnut wood, and the board was built from a combination of walnut and maple.
