Critique the project: a chess board connected via USB to a computer. The pieces are identified as follows: each has two contacts at the bottom, and inside—a resistor of one of six values, one per piece. Thus, each square provides three bits. The control scheme includes a counter and multiplexers. Rings are printed on a 3D printer, covered with conductive paint, white and black, underneath the board’s surface—lots of wires. The inverse square is also printed on a 3D printer but is coated with regular paint. One fits into another—if the colors are matched, it should be barely noticeable. Inside the pieces—a small magnet and a resistor. The board’s schematic is connected to the computer through a serial port and USB adapter.
