I know that, what I meant was for when you use stack mat.
It would have to be a custom timer which is something that could work. I've been toying with the idea of building a timer seeing as I have already built a LED display unit for a Stackmat. Something with a LCD display with scrambles and a small speaker to announce inspection.

I think it’s important that the judge is actively involved in judging. If they don’t have to call out numbers and pay attention, they’re less likely to make sure the solver isn’t breaking any rules. It’s a matter of involvement, and I don’t think it would make running competitions much easier, so I would say don’t go for it and save yourself the time and trouble.
Not for competition use but for at home
The simplest answer is usually the best ...
Where can you get a cable from?
It's a standard audio cable with a 3.5mm audio jack on 1 side and a mini jack on the other side. You will also need to use the https (ssl) version of cstimer to enable the mic input. Also some internal audio cards do not work that well with the stackmat. I ended up using a cheap usb sound card that I bought on eBay for a couple dollars.
Bump.
from gtts import gTTS
import time
import os
timer = 15
text1 = "8 seconds"
text2 = "12 seconds"
language = "en"
eight = gTTS(text=text1, lang=language, slow=False)
twelve = gTTS(text=text2, lang=language, slow=False)
eight.save("eight.mp3")
twelve.save("twelve.mp3")
while timer > 0:
time.sleep(1)
timer -= 1
print(timer)
if timer == 8:
os.system("mpg321 eight.mp3")
if timer == 3:
os.system("mpg321 twelve.mp3")
Nice code, have you posted this on github?
Surely there's a better way of playing sounds than shelling out to os.system? That would be my last resort solution.
A command line mp3 player is just fast and accurate. There probably is a better way but I wrote this in like 3 minutes and I already had mpg321 installed so I used it lol.
Nah, It’s not that special. I only tend to post major projects and stuff on github.
Oh cool, any major cubing project you have developed recently?
No, although I am developing a sort of cubing inspired mobile puzzle game you might have seen in reddit. I’ll post some screenshots on my status later.
Oh nice good to hear. Is the puzzle game connected to cubing hardware, or it is just a screen game.
No it just borrows quite a few concepts from the rubiks cube. Anyway, I think we are getting a little off topic. Feel free to PM me though.
