doesnt work on mac :(

I have taken the repository from https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?44228-Prisma-Puzzle-Timer-Requests and created a Java 1.6 Executable Jar. I have also imported it into an Eclipse project for anyone interested. Yes this does support pro timers!

For anyone using mac, I have a mac, and my executable works fine with Java 1.6. It sometimes takes a while to recognise the timer. If you have issues, make sure the timer input option is selected, and check the Stackmat Developer (under view) to see if there is any input at all.

More issues? Try going into System Prefs -> Sound -> Input and set the input volume to full. If (like me) it decides to keep adjusting itself, here's a hacky fix. Open AppleScript Editor (Applications -> Utilities), and type "set volume input volume 100" (without quotes) and press Run. Now it should remain at 100%. Don't ask me why :)

You may need to try a combination of jiggling cables, relaunching the timer etc. Use your imagination! Feel free to ask if you're having issues. Getting it working isn't the easiest thing in the world.

For anyone without a mac, remember this is just a recompilation of Methusela96's version, so whatever that does, this should do.

Enjoy :p

When I am looking at the session stats, its not showing in seconds, or rather instead of showing say 33.194, its showing me 331.94. Is there any way to change this?

Also, My mac does not have a microphone jack, will the headphone jack work with a stackmat?

That port should function as both, you should be able to manually adjust it in Settings.

It wont connect

Hello everyone this is Computer Cubing,

Here is a new version of Prisma Puzzle timer that works with the Stackmat gen 3!
Credit to the original author, Walter, who published the original project at https://bitbucket.org/walter/puzzle-timer/

To support the Stackmat Gen 3, I have created a new menu option in timer trigger called Stackmat gen3.
Click on that to connect your gen 3 timer. The original code for the gen 2 timer has been left in place.
The cable is still all the same from connecting the gen 3 timer, 3.5 to 2.5 audio cable.

Anyway, here is the link to the new version of Prisma Puzzle Timer in GitHub

https://github.com/phillip-hayes/PrismaPuzzleTimer/blob/master/bin/PrismaPuzzleTimer_v1.0.zip

To use the timer, download the above zip file, unzip the contents to a directory on your computer, and then run the PrismaPuzzleTimer.bat script
This version of the timer, like the original, requires java to be installed on your computer

For those who like to develop their own software, the integration to the Stackmat Gen 3 has been abstracted into a separate library that could be used with any java project.
This API library has been published as a separate GitHub repository. Please feel free to reply on this thread if this is of interest.

Be sure to check you my Youtube channel Computer Cubing. I make unboxings, reviews and more!

I know the timer works because it is fine with cstimer but when I use it with prisma it doesn't work
