Electronic Chess Board for our engineering project

Hi everyone,

My name is Jonathan and I am a student in Sydney, and my partner and I want to make a chessboard for our electrical engineering project. We love the game of chess, and we made it so that it should take under a minute. Your feedback would be invaluable to us students and I sincerely hope that this post is okay and in the right place. The following is the survey link - I haven't shortened it so you can see that it is a legitimate google link:

Kind regards,

Jonathan

You haven't provided any information about what your envisioned electronic chessboard could do that currently marketed electronic chess boards don't.  Would it simply transmit the moves played on it, the way DGT boards do?  Or  would it connect to the internet to play games on chess.com or other sites, like the Square off boards?   Or does it do something new or better than these other products do? Would it be cheaper?

How can someone possibly judge how much they would pay when you haven't proposed any features?

Thanks for the feedback - you're 100% right, and I'm really glad that you took the time to bring it up early as it wouldn't have been caught. We do have a plan and the survey wasn't given any context, so I'm going to go ahead and add proper context to what we plan on doing onto the survey page. We wanted it to have more functionality than the DGT boards (like the DGT Centaur) where it not only provides learning/hint features but also hooks up to an external device/server to allow for game saving/multiplayer. We would've really liked to hook it up to sites like chess.com but it seems outside the scope of the course - we imagined the boards would be cheaper than those competitors and also without the mechanical issues/challenges of Square off.
