This is a not yet complete code! But you can play arround
with it. CVS should have input engine enabled. There is no
gui to configure it yet (ie. store its config). The meaning
of the parameters is first the path to dgtdrv, then the port
you use, and the last parameter might be la/ra lw/rw lb/rb
depnding of whether the clock is to white's right (r) or
left (l) and whether to use analysis mode (a) ie. send both
sides, or only send white/black.
I'd suggest you check the board communication first, just
fire up dgtdrv2 from the shell like this:
dgtdrv2.i686 /dev/ttyUSB0 la
You can then just key in the protocol commands documented on
my website and you should also get the startup messages.

Correctly? Thats fine :) Then you already made it. Ie. if
you move them on the board using la scid should move them as
well.

In acutual gameplay you hit the border of my current
development. I must do the integration there, I fear if it
doesn't work out of the box but you can already move the
pieces in la-mode I must check how to hook this up. You'll
have to either work on this within my existing code or
I fear you'll have to wait at least two weeks till I
hopefully passed the next exams and I've some time to work
on this part of scid again. (Due to two subsequent
internships I was unable to access my real board for the
last months :(
