[Help Thread] Connecting a Stackmat timer to computer

[Shelton Cyril]

I have tried, even got it to work, but all my times are in the less than one second region as it is shocked by itself that it responds sometimes lol

So.. no I haven't got mine working with Prisma. I haven't gotten it to work with CCT either unfortunately. Ah well it is what it is.

Well I did!! with CCT only...----> http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...T-(its-a-HARDWARE-issue!)&p=936369#post936369

The computer is picking up the signal fine. I checked in System Preferences under Sound and then Input.

I don't know why, but Prisma/Cstimer are not picking up for me when I plug in the timer. When I turn my timer on, then it makes a beeping noise. If it makes a difference, I have Windows Vista.

What kind of timers do you have?

My stackmat is a StackMat Pro.

My stackmat is a StackMat Pro.

The current Prisma Puzzle Timer does not work with StackMat Pro. If you want to test a beta version I'm working on, PM me and I'll send you a link.

Does the stackmat pro work with any timers? I have one and am considering getting the cables.

I think it works with CCT. Not sure though

It does not work with CCT (at least when I tried it). If you want a link to the beta version of Prisma I'm working on send me a PM.

I saw convinsa's tutorial on youtube and got my stackmat pro timer to work with cstimer.net , there is a big lag though :/
After I time a solve with my stackmat timer, it takes almost a minute for cstimer to display the time. What possibly could be the problem?

Is their any way without probing around down there?
I don't want to accidentally break it.

How to connect a timer to a PC?

I can not connect the timer to the computer trying to guides (I tried to connect to the PRISMA PUZZLE and to CCT)
I have the new generation?
What problems can be?

Stackmat+cstimer.net problem

I was not sure where should I post this so I will post it here.
I have a problem which is very annoying,so sometimes when I start the timer it doesn't go it just stops on 0.003 or 0.006. Maybe som1 knows how to fix it. It does not to that when it's not plugged in into the cstimer so it can't be the timer's fault. I hope I explained things right.

Everyone who uses stackmat+cstimer.net

What generation timer do you have?

 

[mrtomas]

Gen3 pro timer

 

[Daniel Mizrahi]

Are you able to record audio from the Stackmat (into, say, Audacity)? That's the way to tell if you're getting Stackmat input at all; the rest is just settings.

What do you mean?
and what is Audacity

 

[AmazingCuber]

I think they don't work with cstimer. PM Mesulath96 for a beta version of Prisma Puzzle Timer which works with the gen 3.

 

[AmazingCuber]

What do you mean?
and what is Audacity

Audacity: audio recording and editing software (free)

He wants you to test if the computer is picking up the stackmat signal with for ex. Audacity by recording what is coming in through the audio in. This is for him to find out what the problem is.

Work is being done to get all timers to work on timer programs. Just be patient, but in the meantime, feel free to try out the link on this page: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?44228-Prisma-Puzzle-Timer-Requests. It may or may not work, but it seems to be working for quite a few people.

does the usb to microphone cable thing work? If it does I might get one as my laptop doesn't have a microphone jack. It has an inbuilt microphone on the "top panel"

Not sure if it works but it would have to be usb to 3.5mm mic to a 3.5 female 2.5 male adapter.
