Quote from holyxiaoxin on May 10, 2023, 5:22 pmQuote from Michiel on May 3, 2023, 11:12 amI tested my Certabo eboard with the CertaboDroid Android app this morning. I was able to connect to the board and, after entering the board API token after two attempts to connect to lichess.org and play a casual rapid game. So I do not know whether you meant this app or an other Certabo Android app but it does seem to function, this one. However features for online play are limited (you can not opt for a practice game against the computer on lichess and you cannot connect to other chess platforms with the CertaboDroid app). And apparently the moves came through quite slow, afterwards I was flagged / lost on time and noticed in the chat on the lichess website that my opponent had asked me if I could play a bit faster during the game. So it works, but not ideal for the purpose of playing online at the moment, IMO.
I have another app on my phone (do not know where I once found it), that is called Ceratbo, but that one only connects via bluetooth/wifi I feel, so perhaps that goes with a Raspberry / DaVinci or whatever device and the boards with the BT module, which I do not yet have).
I tried again using Certabodroid_Local_Install from https://www.certabo.com/download/ -CERTABODROID .APK Local Install but was still unable to play in lichess despite regenerating new API token access. After searching for a game, it says "it connected certabo board successfully" followed by "invalid token". Playing against computer is fine, but not on lichess.

@Michiel yes that app was an old app used with early version of raspberry now not anymore needed as you can you any vnc viewer app.
Yes on lichess shall work not sure why you get bit slow can you also check with whitepawn app as it does support lichess too for a comparison.
Anyhow as we mentioned we are now developing a native app for our board as the Certabodroid being a modified version of Droidfish is not best option for online, i will keep you posted separately as we have some version for beta testing. @Klaus thanks for the testing and suggestions and good it work. I agree for average user it may be a bit tricky anyhow will release a proper installation package and will share with you for a double check appreciate your support!.
Also here you can have trial with the new oline release for Mac https://www.certabo.com/wp-content/uploads/SOFTWARE/Release/Mac/Mac_online_7.0_Certabo.zip
we managed to compile to one one file there is single file just unzip open a terminal and type ./main that shall be straingth forward to make an installation App.
All the best
Pietro
I tried running with ./main and after allowing all the permissions, it was unable to open and stay on a internet window. I tried firefox, and it was unable to open another window. Previously I had better luck as it at least opened the window. I tried chrome too, after adding chromedriver to /user/local/bin. The chrome window opened and closed immediately. The "Status" section on the "Certabo Online Chess" reads "Website Window Closed".
This is the error message on the terminal:
```

Quote from holyxiaoxin on May 10, 2023, 5:47 pmI fixed above firefox problem by updating firefox to the lastest version and installing the latest geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
All good now for mac m1. But android lichess API still isn't working.

Quote from holyxiaoxin on May 10, 2023, 6:13 pmI did alot of tinkering. 1 more thing to get lichess working on firefox. you need to hit enter and ensure that the cursor is flashing on Enter SAN. Otherwise when you move your piece, it'll not be reflected on the window!
