>To begin, the most essential part of the build is the XY stepper grid, which allows our magnets to reach any point across the 64 chess squares. I chose a simple mechanism with stepper motor builds, attaching two motors to a 3D-printed part with custom-designed rails. This system is more optimized than a stepper wheels grid, enabling smoother movement across the board. To start testing and ensure that the grid can reach any point on the board, an Arduino microcontroller is quite useful. All the necessary electronics to achieve this are available in a simple CNC kit. While the stepper motors are initially quite loud, the addition of silent stepper motor drivers, such as the TMC 2209, helps to significantly reduce noise.
