Let's hope they go with the usb-c route to power Neo.
Square Off - Chess Set
Sort:
I was kind of thinking leave the power cord on but add a c port so if you didn't have an outlet handy you could power it with a brick, if it needed a special brick they could offer it as an add on for extra cash there by making more money on the product

I am hearing they are considering USB C ports but don't think it would work bc it requires a 12V supply to power the board

Yes, the existing power packs are 12 volt, I had to buy a multi adapter for mine in the UK as was supplied a US style plug

Hello does anyone know how to import games (or positions) into SquareOff (GK)? I can't find a way within the iOS app latest version 3.2.9. Thanks in advance
What does it mean Neo has a 12 volt power system is it corded or battery powered or what are the implications

To the two questions above: I don't know. I don't expect that the power system will be much different than the actual one, at it works well.
This just showed up in the comments section and may be of interest:
@GeneralY - We will introduce the carrying case for the board and the box for chess piece storage as accessories in the near future.
Neo will be 1.5X and Swap will be 3X faster than existing Square Off boards.

For Neo, it is mentioned in the kickstarter page that it will be 1.5x faster than existing ones, but I don't see that 3x for Swap. Maybe Neo is guaranteed to be faster for at least 1.5x but that cannot be said for Swap?

Looks like a new update is out today for the boards, my app wants me to apply an update, which says it goes through successfully but immediately wants to apply it again.
I cannot cancel the update so I am stuck unable to use the board since it wants to apply it over and over
@cmdrtango:
Check the comments section. That's where I got the "Copy and Paste".
Of course this may merely be their, as of yet unrealized, goal. We'll just have to wait and see.
Just went over the Kickstarter page. As I already have a GK set, struggling to see the advantages in upgrading to the new campaign. New would be attractive if it had a battery, but it does not. No interest in paying more for Swap, as I have no interest in a system for games other than chess. Lack of portability and bag is a down check as well.
This from the comments section, about the Neo and a possible rechargeable battery:

SWAP already has a rechargeable battery built in.

@baronvonchickenpants mine updated today without issue. maybe it's worth deleting and reinstalling from scratch?
Thanks, that's what I did in the end. Still, odd to get stuck like that.
