Revelation UCI Server
Introduction to Revelation UCI Server
The main feature of Revelation UCI Server is to use a remote engine in Revelation II. The engine runs
on a PC and communicates with Revelation II through a Bluetooth link.
Only engines that support the Universal Chess Interface Protocol can be used here. Most engines
support this protocol. Please check the engine information for details.
In addition, the Revelation UCI Server takes advantage of this connection between Revelation II and a
PC to offer two more features:
·
Transfer of files from the PC to the Revelation II. For example software updates or other
system files.
·
Transfer of files from the Revelation II to the PC. This is typically for games which can then be
reviewed and analyzed on the PC. (This option is not yet functional)
You will find detailed information about the UCI server in the help menu of the program.
To let Revelation II communicate with the UCI server you need to first setup a Bluetooth connection
which will result in a virtual COM Port. See the section "Setting up a Bluetooth connection in
Windows 7 en 8" on page 21 for instructions.
When minimizing the program icon, it will not be visible in the Windows taskbar but in the system
tray. You can open the interface by double clicking this icon.
Using the Bluetooth connection means that Revelation II and the PC do not have to be linked
physically though a secure an stable Bluetooth connection. They should not be placed too far away
from each other. This way the Revelation II chess engine can benefit from the calculating power of
the external computer.
