Prisma Puzzle Timer

[Schmidt]

Stackmat timer used to work on my win7 pc, but not anymore. Might it be because of a java update??

If I wanted to put another type of cube on it, like a gear cube, for example, how would I do that?

I don't think you can, unless you can make a scrambler that will properly scramble a gear cube. Or, you can just make a new option thing and call it "gear cube." The scrambles wouldn't work, and the display thing would show a 3x3 instead of a gear cube, but it would work if you used hand scrambles.

I don't know how to program in Java, but I was thinking that it would be really cool if there was an Android version of the Prisma Puzzle Timer.

I was thinking of some really cool features:

-Being able to connect your stackmat to your Android phone or tablet.
-That when you finish doing the scramble, you touch the screen, and it starts to count down the inspection time, and when you began to run the stackmat, it detected it automatically
-To be able to transfer your times to an excell sheet
-When the stackmat be running, that your phone/tablet worked as a stackmat tournament display, you know, big red numbers with black background

Also, with this, ran in a tablet, it could be connected to internet, and use it in competitions to have live results


How hard or possible would this be to do?

If you use View --> Session summary (Ctrl+Alt+S) the solves from the current session are listed in chronological order.
If you use View --> History (Ctrl+Alt+H) highlight the solves and copy with Ctrl+C. Then paste into Excel and use Data Sort. You can also easily delete any unneeded columns.

Thanks, I didn't realise session summary could do that.

-To be able to transfer your times to an excell sheet

As Brest said, you can copy them from History into Excel.

But I mean that it could do this in your Android phone or tablet.

Hi, how do I download PPT on Ubuntu? Which should I choose? MAC OS X or the normal one?

 

[kirtpro]

pro timer (aka gen 3) compatibility in an update soon?

It should already work with gen3 timers, since the old tournament displays work as well.

Gotta say i really like this timer. It's made the way i want it ^^

The normal one works fine.

I just wanted to say, that PPT is my favorite timer! A Big Thanks to you!

I couldn't get it to work either.

i didnt get it to work and maybe accuracy to the thousandths can be added?

(option between thousandths and hundredths)

I really like this timer I use it all the time. I love having different options for different puzzles. But an awesome additition would be to add relay options (like 2x2-5x5 or something) I love this timer though thank you to the creater of it its amazing!

 

[Daryl]

Just download and try this timer !

Nice timer, gonna be my main timer.

Ok well I guess I was wrong. I'm wondering how the displays still work with the new timers though... Does anyone want to record a few seconds of the output so that I could analyze it and compare to the old signal?

By default, the gen3 timers emit a gen2 signal. The gen3 displays will have some way of telling the gen3 timers that they're plugged into a gen3 display, and only then will the signal emitted by the gen3 timer include the thousandths place.

I'm hopeful that we can come up with some way of simulating whatever the gen3 displays will do that we can get thousandths place digits when plugging the stackmat into our computers. I'm not much of an EE guy, but I'm fear this won't be doable with only the line in jack of a computer's sound card. I suspect we'll need to split off the left or right audio from the cable and run a special voltage across it in order to coerce the timer into emitting a gen3 signal.
