I still can't get my stackmat to work with this version :/

 

[EricReese]

1. Connect stackmat timer to sound card (mic or line in)
2. Run "PuzzleTimer0.3.1.jar"
3. Options -> Stackmat timer input device -> [Something like "microphone" or "line in"]
4. Options -> Timer trigger -> Stackmat timer

Primary Sound Capture Driver
RealTek Audio Input

Those are the only two options I have under that section when you speak of step 3.

Can you hear an annoying sound when the stackmat timer is connected?

 

[EricReese]

No I can not

 

[Walter Souza]

No I can not

Try increasing the volume level. On Windows 7, go to Control Panel -> Sound -> "Recording" tab -> Select "Microphone" -> Click "Properties" button -> "Levels" tab.

Is your stackmat timer on? Is it connected to the right port? Does it work with CCT? Can you record any sound with a real microphone?

 

[EricReese]

Yes its on.
I don't know if the right port. But it is plugged into the purple hole on my computer. I followed a youtube tutorial for hooking up my stackmat timer for CCT.
It doesn't work correctly with CCT, like random numbers would keep displaying, but it would definately recognize my stackmat timer because it was only when I turned on my stackmat timer that this problem occured. I was going to try and fix it but then I found this timer and I l ike this a lot better
I'm not sure about recording sound. But when I make youtube videos via youtube's option of recording a video, my webcam lets me record sound in the videos. Not sure if htats what you were asking though

Do the following:

Download Audacity.

In preferences, set Audio I/O -> Recording -> Channels to 1 (Mono).

Record about 30s, zoom in and you should see something like this

or this

Save the file (Export to wav...) and send it to me.

 

[EricReese]

How would you like me to send it to you.

The only blue lines i got were when I was talking otherwise it was like a straight line. I exported as a wav, can you PM me your email?

Your stackmat timer is probably not connected to the right port. How is you web cam connected to you computer? USB only or is there an audio cable?

 

[EricReese]

USB.

 

[Walter Souza]

USB.

Try unplugging your webcam and make sure your timer is connected in the microphone port (usually pink) or line in (usually blue).

Weird. My CCT timer works, and my Prisma Puzzle timer works but only when CCT is running also. Is this normal?

Nevermind, I just got it working once, then when I tried turning off CCT my prisma thing didn't work. And I can not seem to replicate getting Prisma timer to work again. I got one stackmat solve in, but I dunno...

Lol, definitely not. It doesn't make sense but at least it's working now.

 

[EricReese]

See my edit

Ok got it working I think. Why is there a little lag once you hit the stackmat and when you see ur actual solve time in the program?

Can you hear that annoying sound now? How is Audacity graph looking like?

I ran out of ideas. Can someone else help Eric?
