eBoards in Arena, Chessbase, Fritz, LucasChess, Shredder

I have finally been able to add support for Fritz and Chessbase to my eBoard drivers, but only the 64 bit versions. And because they load the driver from the Windows\System32 folder installation is a bit messier.

Also there are some new boards, with the latest being the Chesssnut Air, and updates for the older boards. So now I have drivers for:

Certabo (USB and BT)
Chessnut (USB and BLE)
DGT (USB and BT)
DGT Pegasus (BLE)
Millennium ChessLink (USB, BT and BLE)
Novag Citrine (USB-Serial)
Novag UCB (USB-Serial)
Square Off Pro (BLE)

The BluetoothLE (BLE) versions aren't available on Linux yet, but hopefully later this year.

I have updated the 64 bit drivers for Fritz/Chessbase. There was a problem with high dpi monitors where the screens didn't scale and so didn't display properly. I think I have fixed this now.

The 32 bit drivers for Arena etc have not been updated so there is no need to download them again if you already have the 1 June version.

Many thanks for your work! Your drivers work great!

This is awesome. I contacted Chessnut regarding a driver for Hiarcs Chess Explorer (GUI) . They seemed to indicate in their response that Hiarcs showed "no interest". Has anyone been able to create a driver to connect Chessnut Air to Hiarcs Chess Explorer for PC? thanks'

It seems Hiarcs are quite tied to Millennium boards. The best you can do at the moment is to use the UCI engine version of my driver. You then have to set up a computer engine vs computer engine match, where one engine is my program so that moves you make on the board get sent to Hiarcs. The downside is that engine matches don't allow takeback moves etc.

I've released a new version of my drivers for Windows and Linux. Where possible they now have the option of highlighting the king's square when he is in check.

The list of drivers above is also out of date. Now it is:

Certabo (USB, BT and BLE)
Chessnut (USB and BLE)
Chessnut Evo (WiFi)
DGT (USB and BT)
DGT Pegasus (BLE)
HOS Sensory (USB and BLE)
iChessOne (USB and BLE)
Millennium ChessLink (USB, BT and BLE)
Novag Citrine (USB-Serial)
Novag UCB (USB-Serial)
Square Off Pro (BLE)
Tabutronic (USB, BT and BLE)

Also, the BLE connections are available in Linux. For Windows, the installation program also installs any additional libraries (e.g. the MS Visual C++ ones) as required.
