That's weird.  I literally just bought mine less than an hour ago.

 

Found an email that suggested CUPID so I used that.

Look at the top of HoS homepage in the description of the Valentine's Day Sale.

PEGASUS HELPFUL HINTS (neither the manual nor their FAQs are very thorough). These helped me...I gleaned some salient points found on other sites:

#1. Calibrate before first use. Not mentioned in manuals. YT video published 2 days ago on DGT channel, short video (1:20) here:

How to calibrate your DGT Pegasus - YouTube

#2. With the button/light functionality, it's difficult to tell if you're turning it on or off.  The four center squares flash counterclockwise when turning it ON. They flash clockwise when turning it OFF.  This square/light sequence is also shown in the calibration vid above.

#3. Performing a hard reset  solves lots of issues. Turn board off, remove pieces. Now press ON/OFF button for 15-20 seconds, until the squares stop flashing. Reset done, now perform the proper startup process. This png says calibrate but it's the same thing.

#4. White Pawn app just expanded its support to include Pegasus on Jan 16, both Android and iOS, "more responsive than the DGT app".   Ignore in app messages to the contrary, Pegasus is listed there. Caveat - I have downloaded WP (iOS) but have not used it yet. Lichess folks rave about it.

I'll post more as I find more. Apologies if any of this is old news to some.

I just formed a new club called the DGT Pegasus Owners Club (there's one on Lichess) and will have this info in it. This current thread is getting way too long/old and it's hard to weed out truly helpful info. It has been very useful especially while we were waiting for P to arrive! Please join and contribute content if you've ordered yours or are already "enjoying it happy.png".  Don't join if you aren't committed to taking the Pegasus Plunge.  We can help one another get the most out of our new boards...chess.com support is right around the corner and we may need help. Some forums are setup already. I took the liberty of inviting some of you wink.png

HHD3 performed a needed Public Service Announcement for the benefit of Pegasus owners. Good Going!

Thank You Sir!  Anyone, check out the club and we'll collect common interest stuff about these boards. Club has no interest in large membership, just in putting Pegasus info in one useful place for all.

Somehow I cannot find  the club on the chess.com website. Can you please post the link to the created club?

Where do I access this on the chess.com app please?

Hi, I can’t get in. Do I need to be reinvited?

@Gav_Wild - I think it is in the settings option in the app. The board needs to be turned on and ready to pair. I saw the option yesterday when I had my SOP turned on. Unfortunately the SOP is not supported.

KTCG, I see you as a member. Should be fine.

Thanks for the heads up on HoS and discount code. Was about to snag one from Amazon but saved over $140. I live in the same state as HoS too, so it should be a quick ship. Can't wait to give it a go.

Pegasus now available at BOTH  HoS & USChess  (Valentine's Day discounts @both). Seems inventory is now flowing freely.

HoS is shipping quickly. I live in Florida, ordered on 3-Feb at 16:20 ET and it will be delivered today. I opted for the free shipping which they give a shipping time of "Up to 8 business days". 

Was truly not expecting it until Wed/Thur of this week.

Thank you for that comparison chart.  For those IOS Pegasus owners what apps are currently available to use for the Pegasus with IOS?

White Pawn is only one I'm using beyond lichess.
