A new Flutter package which allow you to easily connect your DGT Chess Board and lets you communicate with it

dgtusb

The dgtusb flutter package allows you to quickly get you dgt-usb-board connected to your Android application.

Getting Started

Add dependencies to pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
	dgtusb: ^0.0.1
	usb_serial: ^0.2.4

include the package

import 'package:dgtusb/dgtusb.dart';
import 'package:usb_serial/usb_serial.dart';

add compileOptions to android\app\build.gradle

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility 1.8
        targetCompatibility 1.8
    }
    ...
}

you can do optional more steps to allow usb related features, for that please take a look at the package we depend on: usb_serial.

Connect to a connected board and listen to its events:

List<UsbDevice> devices = await UsbSerial.listDevices();
List<UsbDevice> dgtDevices = devices.where((d) => d.vid == 1115).toList();

if (dgtDevices.length > 0) {
    // connect to board and initialize
    DGTBoard nBoard = new DGTBoard(await dgtDevices[0].create());
    await nBoard.init();
    print("DGTBoard connected - SerialNumber: " + nBoard.getSerialNumber() + " Version: " + nBoard.getVersion());
    
    // listen to update stream
    nBoard.getBoardDetailedUpdateStream().listen((update) {
        print(update.getNotation());
    });

    // set board to update mode
    nBoard.setBoardToUpdateMode();
}

Updates soon

sorry for the lack of information, i will soon:

• update this readme
• add an example
• add some tests maybe
• make it crossplatform compatible (currently it depends on usb_serial package which makes it android exclusive. Linux, OSX and Windows should be possible aswell)
