Ref.14 - Novag Citrine Interface

Main Features:

• The interface will operate Novag Citrine in such a way that it behaves as closely as possible to Novag UCB.

• It is specially designed to work with Novag Sapphire and Sapphire II.

• Super VIP (with firmware version 3.6 or later) has also been tested for proper operation.

• The use of a Novag distributor (or equivalent adapter) is not necessary: the interface itself performs this function.

• Any ESC/POS printer with RS232 serial port can be used, although it is recommended that it is 24 columns type.

• If the interface is connected to a PC/Laptop instead of a USB power supply, Arena Chess GUI can also be used to receive the moves.

• It has been assembled by hand, and meticulously tested.

• The firmware is upgradeable.

Warning:

The Novag Citrine is not designed to operate as a UCB. In addition, some Citrine firmware versions (like v1.09) has several bugs that have made development work very difficult. So this interface is far from working perfectly well, as my other interfaces do. Please read section 7 of the manual for drawbacks and limitations.
