Hi Brian,
I hope you will have more luck than me with your Raspberry Pi. Your DIY USB chessboards are awesome I tried to build one with an Arduino controler, but it was so ugly that I stopped

Re: PicoChess stand alone chess computer has born :-)
I just released the first version of PicoChess (v0.1) for MK802II ARM devices.
It's an image file that you need to put on a 8GB micro sd card ; instructions and download link are on the website (http://www.picochess.org).
4 opening books by Gabriel Leperlier are included, you can choose skill level and thinking time, and taking back moves is supported.
I hope you will enjoy it

Very possible, I use icsdroneng for 19 different engines on my ICS. Works like a charge.Michel wrote:Perhaps you can make it play on FICS. For example using icsdrone...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/icsdrone/
Can verify it also compiles/runs cleanly on the R-Pi, since I run minimax on my pi via icsdrone.
Thanks again for making the changes to allow it to work on HGM's ICSD
