Instructables: How to Built a Chess Robot With Arduino Mega

The board executes micro-Max source code, allowing you to run chess logic on an Arduino Mega and execute the proper moves with a 6DOF mechanical arm.

The setup uses magnetic pieces and below the board an array of 64 reed switches and 8 shift registers. This allows to capture the movements of the pieces on the board. The signal from the switches is transmitted to the Arduino Mega which calculates the best possible movement using the Micro Max algorithm.
The Arduino Mega operates a mechanical arm accordingly, performing the indicated movement
