DGT Smartboard Bluetooth with Android chess.com app

Sort:

Greetings,

Is it possible to connect the DGT smartboard (with Bluetooth version) to the chess.com android application? I tried several ways, the application does list the Bluetooth device but when I try to connect it says the device is not supported or it says can not connect to the device. I am able to use the DGT smartboard with Acid ape chess but they do not provide the option to connect to chess.com .. you can only connect to lichess, FICC and ICC (no chess.com)

I never knew there was a Bluetooth smartboard. Can you give some details, please?

it is almost the same like the wired one .. you switch on the board, search Bluetooth for the device and connect.

My misunderstanding. I thought bluetooth version of the plastic variant.

Hi!
I have the same problem. When trying to connect I only get 'The selected device is not supported'.
I've updated the firmware of the eboard but it still doesn't work.
Did You manage to fix the issue somehow?

Also by Acid Ape Chess You do You mean GM Edition? As I see it's not supported in free SE app version.

I have DGT Bluetooth board but when I try to connect to chess.com app on my phone (android) it sees it but will not connect to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just tried my Bluetooth DGT Board and have the same issue: "device is not supported".

Works fine with Acid Ape Chess (paid version). Has anyone got this to work with the android app? If yes, how?

Would you please tell me, does it still work? Because Acid Ape Chess is not running any more since a month now due to license server failure. Unfortunately it's a really ugly thing, silence everywhere and Google not helpful. And well, not so many people using Acid Ape Chess. It was the best app available when it comes to engine matches and local analysis etc.
