DGT Pi, a dedicated chess computer expansion hardware by Digital Game Technology for their DGT Board, connected via Bluetooth or USB, integrated into a DGT3000 digital chess clock, first released in October 2016. The computer consists of a Raspberry Pi 3 with built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functionality, and comes with multiple chess engines included.
