Arduino based Wireless Powered Chess

Abstract

This paper concentrate on designing of chess boards using Arduino mega and Reed Switches. The Arduino is the open source platform. The normal chess procedure is just so sit next to each other and enjoy the game but if you don’t find anyone near you to play, And if you find a person who has a same skills as you but live for five block ahead and can’t come to your place to play and what happen when you are in hospital and you want to kill the time by playing the game. The wireless powered chess has solutions of all the problems. Already build system requires computer and laptop to enjoy the game which affects cost and complexity. In the result and simulation part this paper will focus to enjoy the game at distance.When we play an ancient and noble game of Chess, we grapple with ideas about honesty, deceitfulness, bravery, fear, aggression, beauty and creativity which echo the attitude we take up in daily lives. Chess is an activity in which we deploy almost all our available cognitive resources; therefore it makes an ideal laboratory for investigation into the working of human mind. This study will focus on automatically operated chess board with the help of Bluetooth and Arduino Processesor. In this process two chess boards are connected with the help of Bluetooth and by using Arduino processors the interfacing between the two boards is done. The idea to carry on this project is taken up from “Computer Controlled Chinese Chess” in which the program is written in visual basis (VB) language and the commands are given with the help of computer to microcontroller which manages the different RF receiver robots at RF frequency and moves the different major and minor pieces and performs the operation of castling .The Complete operation is done at RF frequency and the moves done on computer is perform on the board as well. In the proposed wireless powered chess project, since both the chess boards are connected with Arduino Microprocessor, the move performed on manually attended boards is also seen on other board without operating by the player. This study of Wireless powered chess will facilitate playing chess sitting at different location in a limited surrounding.
