Have you thought about adding support for a general clock that can be used with any e-board? The Ulanzi Smart Pixel clock, flashed with AWTRIX 3, for example has a simple HTTP interface available that can be used to display any text on the clock.
I made a proof-of-concept for Chess Dojo, showing the remaining thinking time of the current player: https://youtu.be/vM0sjYFkZOc

Yes, I did think about that but wasn't aware that such a clock existed. As always: if there's enough interest for this feature, I will add it. 😇

Did you mean support for the new ZMF tap n touch pro clock?

Yes, that's the one.

I have submitted version 3.5.0 as the next official release. Approval by Google is still pending. (As is approval by the Edge store. The approval process there is painfully slow). Users who have the beta installed are invited to stay on the beta. From now on the beta will be an "early adopter" version. It will simply receive new features first. As with any beta, there is a chance for bugs. But I will no longer distribute highly experimental versions through that channel.

Google was really quick this time. 3.5.0 is being rolled out. It's mostly bug fixes on sound and voice announcement plus the new House of Staunton Sensory Board (with and without LEDs). I think the board with LEDs is not available for sale, yet. But it will be very soon.

Should you find any problems with 3.5.0, please let me know.

I played a game yesterday on the beta version on Mac and there was a castling announcement which was missed. But the extension was perfect in all respects. Thanks Jörn.

joernupbde

Thank you for the feedback! I thought the missing announcements problem was solved. Apparently not. I'll dig deeper...

Hi there. I have a strange issue with DGT3000 clock and DGT Smart Board - when playing on chess.com, it doesn't show me any times, just opponent's moves. On lichess, however, it works perfectly fine. Is there a chance that something is wrong with my setup?

joernupbde

Can you send me (or post) a screenshot of your clocks on the chess_com page? Reading the time from chess_com is quite tricky as they are a lot of different ways how it is displayed on the screen. You propably have a format that I did not think of. 😔

If you're using focus mode, you might try turning that off.

I have 3.5.0 here and still have the connect button.

joernupbde

Same here. I just checked with the official release and I do have the button.

@Ceeffee29: Can you please check, if it is there but only very very small? Also, reloading the page might help.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

GeorgeGoodnight

When I've got Lichess open, I can still see my knob.

Ceeffee29

thkxs it works again, reloading is the solution

joernupbde

Phew. Let me know, if this happens again. There might be a race condition somewhere.

I haven't changed any defaults. Not using focus mode either. I have tried to play using different devices (Macbook Pro 2023, Macbook Pro 2014, Dell laptop) - same result. The clock only shows the moves. Dashes are displayed instead of times

joernupbde

What time format are you playing?

GeorgeGoodnight

When I think about it, I've had this once. If I remember, I disconnected the board from the machine, the clock from the board then did the reverse.
