Kestrel has released a new Bluetooth shot timer, does or is there a plan to have practiscore on the multi platforms support this new timer?

Kestrel Ballistics KST1000 Shot Timer

thank you

[euxx]

Plans - yes. Currently can’t provide an ETA, support for all new timers is pushed to the the PractiScore 2.0 apps.

Bluetooth timers supported in the PractiScore app for Android

PractiScore app for Android integration with Bluetooth-enabled timers allows to download stage time, including all recorded individual shots and save them with competitor’s scores. This data is shown on the scores review screen, as well as in the PractiScore Competitor app. For practicing with a Bluetooth-enabled timer we recommend to check the PractiScore Log app. It keeps track of repeated drills without a need to spend time on configuring matches, stages and adding competitors. For instr…

PractiScore Log app info

PractiScore Log App Google Play | iOS App Store The PractiScore Log App is an one-time paid app to help keep track of your training. If you have questions about the app or need help, please don’t hesitate to post to the PractiScore Log App category. The main idea is to minimize time for setting up, keep log of all practice sessions and analyze collected data quickly. In other words, no need to create matches, stages and adding shooters. Just start your practice and tag or score your runs as yo…

thank you, but if I read the list updates correctly for both competitor and log, neither have had updates in more than a year ?

[euxx]

@Jim_Doran I was referring to the information stating/describing features/devices supported in each app.

To find the most up to date info on exact version and times when each app has been updated you should visit the corresponding app stores. The articles linked above have the links to the app stores. Generally all apps do get several updates within any given year.

PS: the PractiScore Competitor app does not directly work with any timer devices. The PractiScore Log app does.

[Shooters_Global]

We are not looking for an argument, we want better for the industry and I think it’s in our power to provide people with what they are asking for.
Like I said in the email - let us know the commands PractiScore is using so we can reserve them for your use. And they will not be changed in the future updates.
We can’t just stop updating the timer, as a software developer you understand how evolution is important.

Look forward to your response on email, thanks.

[MarcK]

Happy New Year. Any news on supporting timers from Shooters Global, the original and also the new Go? Thank you.

[euxx]

We are working full gear on the 2.0 apps release.

Though we haven’t seen any details related to SG GO timer and don’t have a test unit either.

[Shooters_Global]

You haven’t even responded to my message from November, don’t blame us please for not having a test unit.
If you are planning to work on it, please reach out to me on email and let’s continue cooperating.
Thanks

@Shooters_Global did someone pissed in your oatmeal today? Not sure what message is being referred to, but which part of my response above is inaccurate?

[Shooters_Global]

Wow, that’s one way to handle a B2B public conversation. Very professional.

This message remained without response. As well as my email from November 20 2023.
Whatever, forget about it.
We’re releasing a public API shortly and let people be the judge.

@Shooters_Global

Wow, that’s one way to handle a B2B public conversation. Very professional.

What did you expected to get for your passive aggressive message you posted after my response to someone else’s question which wasn’t diminishing SG in any way?

@Shooters_Global

This message remained without response. As well as my email from November 20 2023.

Wasn’t aware response was required there. There was no question asked in this post.

The email from November did fell through the cracks. Though it was also deflecting my previous request from August 2023 to provide us the latest timer API documentation and was repeated in a few emails after that.

@Shooters_Global

Whatever, forget about it.

Should we relay this statement to the users?

[Brennan_Stanley]

@euxx So SG is up in the air on compatibility (no comment 0_0) but the [Kestrel KST1000 Shot Timer] is going to be compatible? currently says the SG is and the kestrel is waiting on update… need to know where to throw my $300 since AMG has 11month wait times! @Shooters_Global

[euxx]

@Brennan_Stanley we will be able to answer this after the PS 2.x app is released to the public.

Technically everything possible, but we are still tied to the vendor’s support.

[Josh_Dalton]

Just curious if there is an update to SG timers being supported or not… we have AMG commanders that we love but it is hard to get them. I tried one of our SG go timers and it appears in the list when I try to connect but it doesnt appear to do anything (connection wise) though.

[Mark_McAfee]

Checking back in again to see if there is an ETA on either PS 2.X or just onboarding SG Global Timers to the platform.

[Jedrzej_Sztandera]

@euxx Since the 2.0 app is online. Can you give ETA on timers support patch?

[euxx]

@Jedrzej_Sztandera as far as I know there is only one timer integration awaiting for the vendor’s firmware update (Kestrel). We don’t have an eta for that.

[Mark_McAfee]

Does that mean you are waiting for something from SG or is it something on your side? I lot of us have been waiting a long time for this integration. I understand there is some frustration between the two organizations but we’d really appreciate it if this can get knocked out and we can fully utilize our timers.

[euxx]

We haven’t heard from SG since my last post above.

As I said then, we can’t complete integration without having their latest API specifications.
