Prisma Puzzle Timer

Ok, this is just getting ridiculous. No matter what order I plug it in, run it, or select the timer trigger, my stackmat timer still doesn't work on this. I'm using mac. I connect my stackmat timer to the headphones jack. I run puzzle timer. Select the "Built in Microphone", then choose stackmat timer. This makes it so the space key won't start the timer, but neither the stackmat timer. I test it, but it's not recognizing it. I also still keep getting the error message in red. I've followed the video, but it still won't work....
Plug it into the MICROPHONE port.
Nice!

The delay in the latest version is shorter.

Agreed, it is.
 
Hey Walter, I just wanted to know if there is a specific reason why the default upper color is the white and not yellow... I just wanted to know, btw I'm using your timer to train F2L and LL, those are really useful options.

Standard orientation for scrambling in competitions:

4d) Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the darkest adjacent face by default) on the front.

WCA regulation.

It's a WCA regulation. If you are unhappy, you can go press Ctrl+Alt+K to change the color scheme.
 
i liked it in the couple versions ago i think 2 that when i did a solve it showed the time till i put my hand on my stackmat and it cleared my time to 0:00.00 so that if i was recording a video using it and i had done a solve before it would clear the time to make it look like i didnt do a solve before also the reset button on the stackmat timer doesnt reset the time on the timer if you could change that it would be awesome!

So you want it to show "00:00.00" on stackmat timer reset?
 
FINALLY! A timer for the cube that has spacebar as a hotkey! I finally have a proper personal record! other timers give me an extra second or two just because I need to click the mouse! My personal record is 53.37 seconds!

Whoa this is totally awesome! Why didn't anyone think of it before?

The problem with changing the colour scheme is the Cross Tips will then give you the optimal solutions for getting a yellow cross. It would be really cool if we could define our own starting position and the cross help accommodated... but I can see that been tons of work for a minor convenience. Anyway, love the timer, great to hear you're still working on it.

You could just do a cube rotation like x2 before scrambling if you want to practice with a certain color.
