Tom's Hardware ☛ This Raspberry Pi-powered chess board robot moves pieces automatically
Tamerlan has created a Raspberry Pi-powered chess board that automatically moves pieces and has programmed it to be an opponent you can play against. [...]
This chess board is programmed with several different game modes. You can play against a computer or connect to the internet and play against other real players remotely, with the board emulating their moves for you in real life. Pieces are moved using magnets attached to an XY stepper motor system underneath.
The Raspberry Pi is responsible for more than just moving pieces; it has to process where the pieces are and determine the best path from point A to point B. Different pieces have different weights, which impacts the movement process. If not done correctly, pieces will fall and won't reach the appropriate square on the board.

Ruben Schade ☛ The Atari ST is my favourite 16-bit machine
The Atari ST family of machines are my favourite of the 16-bit era. Introduced between 1985 and 1993, they weren’t the most technically advanced available, nor did they achieve significant marketshare against incumbents like Apple, Commodore, or the ever-expanding PC clone market. But they had so much home computer history soldered into their DNA that I can’t help read and write about them.
