Script: A sensing chessboard using magnets

Code and project info: https://github.com/zentag/ee-sensing-chessboard

hook:

I have a problem. No, not an addiction or anything, but just a common scenerio that I need an elegant solution to.

I play chess, and I like to analyze games once they're finished. I also like playing on a physical board. Those two don't go so well together.

potential solutions:

writing moves
- using algebraic
- takes time to write & input to pc
inputing to pc
- takes the whole point out
buying something premade
- expensive
- fun & learning

what I chose

ESP32
- familiarity
- wifi
magnets
- hall effect sensor
- under each square
3d printing
- cheap at library
- models available
- easy to customize
