Home-made stackmat timer

[alexm]

Now, I know there are other home-made timers out there, but most of them use buttons from game controllers and such. Mine's not like that, as it acts exactly like a stackmat timer does (not exactly in the way it works, but in how it feels/how you use it).

As it says in the description, I like using CCT, but I don't care for space bar operation, and it's a (very small) pain to enter the times by hand (and it looks cool on video to have a *running* timer on the screen ).


BTW, I'm not claiming to have an amazing site, or a great howto, or anything... I don't want a 72-point "comments" post from qqwref...

that looks cool. I cant even find a normal speedstack timer where I live..

Neat. I want to try this out. Great guide!

@Hakan: Speedstack timers come with the SpeedStacks stack pack which are available at ToysRUs, Target, etc. Unless you don't live near any of those type of stores.

You can also get speedstack timers online, but shipping... :-(

Cool link btw!

Thank you! I'll create my own..

I may create my own now. The Toys r us in my area doesn't have stackmats at all. They only have the 3x3 size for rubik's cube too

Thanks, but too much of effort,
the best way is to get an online one

Does it start when you release the 2 outside buttons, and require both outside buttons to be pressed again later to stop the timer?

appears so... but it can't work with CCT since it's made from a mouse, not a keyboard =( Looks so good.
