New Prisma Puzzle Timer with Stackmat Gen 3 support

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.

I still haven't been able to get my stackmat to work with Prisma Puzzle Timer. I can only get it to work with CalCube Timer, but I would like to get it working with this too. :)

It doesn't seem to be reading anything from my stackmat (gen 3 pro). Any ideas?

Thanks!

I am having trouble connecting my Gen 3 Stackmat to Prisma. I use Windows 8. The microphone input is definitely being received I just get this flood of errors when I start timing:

Kimlam, Make sure you've got the stackmat gen 3 option selected, see image I've attached to the post. Also, try changing the stackmat trigger input device in the options.

I have selected the stackmat gen 3 option, and I have also tried all the options for the input device. I still haven't been able to get it to work. :/

I would love to see some further developement on the timer. There are some key features missing imo which would be
-more Statistics for your session for example an average 50/100/1000 or the option that you can customize it yourself to fit your needs
-having the option to switch between multiple Scrambling notations for something like big cubes, clock or especially skewb
-adding a small notification that tells you that your scrambling queue has been finished

Basically what I imagine would be a mix between the CSTimer and Prisma where you have all the features of the CSTimer based on a offline timer which can save your session for a long time.
I would've tried to do it myself but I have no clue about programming whatsoever :p

Thanks for making this! My 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable just arrived today and got it working with the timer. If people are having problems -- try multiple mic jacks if you have them, the one on the front of my PC didn't work, but the one on the back did. Also unplug any USB mics while you are troubleshooting.

Thank you for your version, but It has small drawback:
In beta version of Prisma 0.6 you can hide scrambled cube view. It is extremely useful for BLD solving.

Is there any way that you could add the option to edit the times from the main screen, that is, without having to go into the history each time? I solve while my brother is asleep, so I don't drop the cube or hit the spacebar fast or hard. This adds 1-2 seconds to my time that I have to go in and edit after each and every solve.

Perhaps you could add a right-click context menu. You could, then, right-click on any particular solve and have the option to edit the time.

It isn't working with me. Windows 8, ProTimer. Audacity is picking up the signals, but Prisma won't.

Did you use eclipse / netbeans to make this? If so how can I open the source in these.
