Prisma Puzzle Timer

[Walter Souza]

By the way: I just realized I am missing a 'reset session' button. To erase the session I now first have to go to the history and select the last times I want to erase...

Hmmm... you're not supposed to delete your times when you want to start a new session. Just select the current category again (a menu item would be useful, specially for categories without keyboard shortcut...).

I would want the staticstics to tell how many solves they span over. Both in the summary and the history.

Just like :
Rubik's cube 100/100
27-02-2011 21:35:14 - 21:43:17

Mean: xx.xx
Standard deviation: xx.xx


And in the history like
Statistics (10000000 solves)

or something like that
:tu

Thanks Stefan. It's already implemented in the development version.

I got today with "PLL Training" a PLL skip, one time I got nothing en one time 'U2' en one time 'U'".

There's nothing wrong with that. The trivial permutation is as likely to come up as any other.

I was when I push 160 times on the spacebar, to get it on paper to train without the computer on table with stackmat.
It is whit version 0.4 en also with version 0.31.

You could just open the "scramble queue" window, select 160, press "import" and export the scrambles to a text file.

And when comes the new version.

I don't know. I've had very little time to work on Prisma lately.

One thing i find stupid, that is if I used "DNF" then is "Mean (of all)" and "Mean of 100" than is it "DNF", also if I used it one.

Sorry for bad English.

That's the expected behavior. "Mean" is the sum of times divided by the number of solutions and DNF is like an infinite time.

Or delete the old one (version 0.4) and the: "puzzletimer.lock" and "puzzletimer.h2" or something that looks like.
Whit a green and yellow gear and download version 0.4 again and maybe you most delete version 3.1 if you have these.

DON'T TOUCH "puzzletimer.h2"!!! It's the database that stores your times and preferences. You have to make something really really wrong to corrupt this file. Just kill the old process or reboot your machine and it'll work again.

So I made a new category for a 3-5 relay. Is there a way I can make it so it will give me scrambles for each cube?

Unfortunately no. I've been thinking about adding relay/multi-bld support, but not now...

Have you considered adding an "Incomplete Mean" which doesn't include DNFs? That would be useful for blindfold solving.

I dont particuarly like the Mean on the statistics of the session because i want to know my average if im doing 3x3 and getting 22's and i get a 35 then its going to average that is there a way to make it so i can see average with the best and worst thrown out without doing an average of 5 or 12 to get that.

 

[Walter Souza]

Thanks, clemon79 and pablobaluba. I'm glad you solved your problems by yourselves

It seems that most of the problems people are having with Prisma are related to either installation or stackmat timer support. Does anybody else think it's a good idea to create a "Troubleshooting/FAQ" thread?

 

[danthecuber]

My computer isn't picking up my stackmat.
I used a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter and an m-m audio cord.
What am i doing wrong?

I started training bld/multi-bld two weeks ago and now I realize there are a lot of things related to bld to improve in Prisma.

The next version will have new bld tips which give you the sticker cycles (including Speffz notation) and how to solve them (classic pochman edges/corners are done, and I'm trying to figure out M2 and 3OP). I'm thinking about adding a special scrambler that only generates cubes with a single edges/corners cycle (breaking into a new cycle is hard ).

About adding a non-DNF mean... what about showing the value between parentheses after "DNF", like this: Mean: DNF (01:23.45)?

So you would like an "average" field in the session statistics?

Does it work with CCT? Can you hear an annoying sound when the stackmat timer is on?

 

[danthecuber]

It doesn't work with cct, and I can't hear an annoying sound:/

Make sure the timer is connected to the microphone port and it's not mute.

Search this thread, there were several people with the same problem.

 

[danthecuber]

I t work with cct now.

But not with prisma...

Select the correct device (Options -> Stackmat timer input device -> ...) and select the correct timer trigger (Options -> Timer trigger -> Stackmat timer).

 

[danthecuber]

Select the correct device (Options -> Stackmat timer input device -> ...) and select the correct timer trigger (Options -> Timer trigger -> Stackmat timer).

I did both of those things. :confused:
And also searched the thread

Follow the instructions on post #213.

I noticed on my new computer using the stackmat timer on Prisma only works with CCT running too

WTF
