07:13 schestowitz; <blockquote>

07:13 schestowitz; <p>Chess still remains an extremely popular game but finding someone to play against can be a struggle, especially when its done in-person instead of through a screen. Greg06 on Instructables has created an automated chessboard that can not only tell where specific pieces are moved, but also play against a live human opponent intelligently while moving its own pieces.</p>

07:13 schestowitz; <p>At the base of the gameboard is a two-axis gantry system, which is responsible for moving the chess pieces positioned above via an electromagnet. And rather than placing one stepper motor on each axis, the gantry takes advantage of the CoreXY concept which can move the magnet in all directions with a complex arrangement of pulleys, belts, and two stationary stepper motors. Controlling this is a single Arduino Nano connected to

07:13 schestowitz; a pair of A4988 drivers, a MOSFET for driving the magnet, and two limit switches for homing.</p></blockquote></li>

23:20 schestowitz; > Ron, an AT&T tech guy showed up today to help me access my Word Press weblog. He brought the latest and best Modem available. He was here for at least an hour and a half to no avail. He even tried changing the I.P. address, and that did not work, so he restored the original I.P. Of course, Ron left me the new modem.

23:20 schestowitz; >

23:20 schestowitz; > As a courtesy, I guess, Ron texted me, about 5 minutes ago and gave me his phone number and the name & phone number of his manager just in case I want to discuss anything.

23:20 schestowitz; >

23:20 schestowitz; > Well, at this point I need to rely on you as there is no one else to turn to for help. Possibly you can create a ticket and escalate to a knowledgeable colleague in your network of tech pals. As a last resort, I am going to the Library tomorrow to try getting access on their network. I am almost sure I will.

23:20 schestowitz; The good thing is that you got better equipment.

23:20 schestowitz; What is your IP address at home? I can check with the webhost.
