    Chess still remains an extremely popular game but finding someone to play against can be a struggle, especially when its done in-person instead of through a screen. Greg06 on Instructables has created an automated chessboard that can not only tell where specific pieces are moved, but also play against a live human opponent intelligently while moving its own pieces.

    [07:13] schestowitz

    At the base of the gameboard is a two-axis gantry system, which is responsible for moving the chess pieces positioned above via an electromagnet. And rather than placing one stepper motor on each axis, the gantry takes advantage of the CoreXY concept which can move the magnet in all directions with a complex arrangement of pulleys, belts, and two stationary stepper motors. Controlling this is a single Arduino Nano connected to [07:13] schestowitz a pair of A4988 drivers, a MOSFET for driving the magnet, and two limit switches for homing.
