This is an ongoing hardware project to create a chess module compatible with the old Mephisto modular boards (Exclusive, Modular, München) that will provide connectivity to a wide variety of chess apps and services.
The hardware as well as software developed for it are published here under the GPL license.
To assist in the release of the module, I provide here links to some basic documentation:
- V1 and V2 modules description and features
- Brocoli power module
- Compatibility chart
- Limitations and remarks
- Operation manual
- Make your own module
