Hi Matt
Just built the kit version of the timer and its a great giggle. v fast delivery to the uk too qudos for that.
Anyhow a few questions.
1/ im waiting on prog cable. with it can i set same functionality as the ready built one? ie cable 1 diffuse 2 pause 3 initiate 4 double time.
2/ there are 4 via holes on the board i can see 2 go to main chip and one to pinouts for programming. what do they correspond to/ can i use them for something?
3/ is there a way of programming like the pre built board?
4/can u point me in right direction for pre modifies software as i havent a clue how to program anything more than a spectrum back in the 80s lol.

Hi Tia, sorry for the slow response.

The source code is available on GitHub here: https://github.com/nootropicdesign/defusable-clock

It is possible to change the functionality and add features, but the kit is a much older product than the newer Game Timer Pro with all the features. It’s not easy to program embedded software, so I wish you luck, but I wouldn’t be able to help you. The reason I produced the Game Timer Pro is to incorproate all the features that so many people wanted.

I’m not sure what vias you are referring to. All features of the board are described on the product manual page: https://nootropicdesign.com/defusable-clock/

Have fun!
