Using DGT Pi as a regular DGT3000 clock
DGT Pi can also be used as a normal stand-alone DGT3000 chess clock. It is not necessary to
connect the power adapter when using DGT Pi as a chess clock and to save power we recommend
disconnecting the adapter. It is however necessary to insert the batteries.
You may use DGT Pi as a regular DGT3000 clock when you are playing a regular chess game or
when you play via a chess program on your computer. For more details please read the instructions
that were supplied with your e-Board. The clock cable that came with your e-Board, is required if
you wish to use DGT Pi in combination with the regular DGT e-Board functions and without the DGT
Pi functions. Please disconnect the clock cable when you return to use DGT Pi as a chess computer.
Software update or re-installation of DGT Pi software
DGT Pi comes with a pre-installed 8Mb SD card that is placed in a slot at the bottom. DGT Pi is
ready to play and normally it is not required to reprogram the installed software. If DGT Pi does not
function properly or a software update is available, reprogramming of the SD card may be required.
To update or re-install software follow below instructions which require some minor computer
knowledge. If you are not comfortable to do this, please ask someone to assist you. Feel free to
check the FAQ section on the DGT website or contact DGT support if you have any questions or
comments.
Copying a (new) DGT Pi software image onto the SD Card (Windows)
1.
Shut down and disconnect DGT Pi from the power by unplugging the USB power cable.
2.
Place DGT Pi upside down and unlock the SD card by pressing the SD card edge once with a
sharp tip (for example a mini screwdriver). Do not touch the metal contacts of the SD card
when removing it from the slot!
3.
If your computer requires it, insert the SD card into the Micro SD adapter (included) and
place the adapter into a free slot of your computer.
4.
Check via ''my computer'' which drive letter the SD card was assigned to. You can also easily
see the drive letter (for example G) within the left column of your Windows Explorer.
5.
If the SD card is not new and may contain corrupted information, you should format it before
usage.
6.
You can use the standard Windows format option; ensure to do a full format and not a quick
format.
7.
If not already installed on your computer, download the Win32DiskImager utility from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
8.
Extract and install the Win32DiskImager executable from the downloaded zip file.
9.
Download the latest DGT Pi image file from our website at the
Chess
computers.
