SA Friday Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't think the palms being "obsolete" is an issue. If they run the software, then they aren't really obsolete. Really, that is a benefit to us (that they are generally "obsolete" for their original purpose)...since that makes them readily available and cheap. Sounds like we can buy 4 of them for about the same price of 1 timer. They are fairly robust machines. I haven't heard any complaints about them not functioning well (other than Jim's personal m130). So, we are probably good there too...on the whole. To me...pricing is the only issue. +1 it's the only thing that stopped my CO home club from purchasing the software.

Rob Boudrie Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Gurantee we won't do an upgrade to our computer system the night before we leave to do a match again. On that topic.... I just got back from a 70 shooter/5 stages match that used the new version with the "_" instead of "0" as George Jones suggested (it worked flawlessly). I am grateful to the folks at the Harvard, MA club who installed the upgrade so we could have it fully field tested in time for the nationals - and to Peter who honored my request to not put some other pending improvements into this code drop (since I value stability over new features heading into the nationals).

wgnoyes Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Starting to play around with this a bit more, now that I got the pdf's from Rob. I may take this to a Tuesday night match (2 stages, 20-25 people) and try it. I wish you could define the stages on ezws and upload those to the palms. But you can't and I understand why you can't. At least not with USPSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Well I tried it. It didn't work very well, and I managed to blow it up once, requiring a software reset of the device. (Changing a walkin's name to something real.) I'll claim operator error on my part and assume I don't know enough about this yet, but it appears more complicated and less intuitive than I previously thought. But like with anything new, I know that's just me, and the A7 Championships and (soon) Nationals are successfully scored with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
