lichess.org board API client for CERTABO.com physical boards
This is a python3 based lichess board API client program for CERTABO physical boards. It's a proof of concept and probably still has some rough edges.
Requirements
Lichess API token
The API token can be created in the lichess preferences page ("API Access tokens"). Generate a personal access token and make sure to enable "Play games with the board API". Store the token in a file named 'lichess.token' in the same directory.
python3 modules
see requirements.txt. You can install the modules via pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
simplejson must not be installed as it doesn't work with berserk
virtual com port driver
On the mac you need to install the Silabs virtual com port driver. It can be downloaded from the CERTABO website: https://www.certabo.com/download/
calibration
Calibration can be run with the optional "--calibrate" command line argument. Make sure to have the pieces on the correct places.
Todo
- shake out bugs
- clean up logging (very chatty for now)
