Sorry, I edited above post, but should add here. Step one, tested USB to serial adapter, test worked. Step two, plugged in serial cable to USB to serial adapter, unplugged other end of cable from timer. Data sent, but did not appear in "Timer Data" I was happy, thinking bad serial cable. I...

Paperclip test passed. I sent and "Testing 12" and it showed up in the Timer Data field. I did just the serial adapter, then tried to do the entire cable but got nothing. I was excited thinking I had a bad serial cable. I shut down GPRM and restarted it, then I was able to communicate with...

OK, I will run that test. It is the serial adapter and serial cable provided with the K2 I am using. I do now recall the timer status flashing green at one point. I never see green now, just red, yellow or grey. I sent your post in an email to Stuart and copied you on your Hotmail account. I will do...

When I look at the log form December 2nd, I have lines saying "timer responded back". I do not have that after that date. I send RS to the timer, the log shows it being sent, but nothing returned. It appears the timer will send data to GPRM, but will not receive it. Can you help me communi...

Same behavior with solenoid unplugged.

I get that dialog box twice. I close both and hit ready timer, and the box comes up twice again. Closing out of GPRM completely and restarting allows me one run before it happens again.
I will try with solenoid wall wart unplugged and report back.
Auto Heat Advance is set to 10 seconds.

OK, here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4BiMQ9giNs&feature=youtu.be For clarity, the start solenoid does not interface with the timer software at all. It is powered by a separate 12 volt DC power supply and triggered by a discreet push button only. When I return to the screen and i...

When all lanes finish, results of that heat post, and about 14 seconds after the finish the "No response received from timer" Error Dialog box pops up. Just before this happens the timer cells turn red, and then turn grey. It is as if it starts to initialize the timer ready sequence, but f...

Where are we leaning on this? Should I uninstall and reinstall software? From CD or from Web? Do you think the timer is causing the issue? Would a video be of any help? This is starting to concern me.

That log has all of the runs in, and in many I was just testing cars so I was not running all lanes. The problem still occurs if all lanes are used and all finish, and if I have two lanes setup as a BYE if I am only running two lanes. The odd thing is it appears to always let me run the 3rd and 4th ...

I have been in contact with Stuart at MicroWizard, and based on the FUNterm output he feels the issue is not timer related. I am really concerned as this system worked fine a couple weeks ago and software does not "go bad". I still have a little time with the test session scheduled for Jan...

Four lane timer. Under software settings I have selected four lane, and under hardware settings it is showing four lanes in use.

Running Version 15.0.901.13. Running a standard issue contact switch as provided in the K2 version of the Microwizard timer. Here is a list of results when running three consecutive races using only Funterm: Co pyright (c) Micro Wizard 2002-2009 K2 Version 2.3A Serial Number26xxx >A=3.1464! B=3.1741...

Thanks for the detailed procedure Rocket. I tried it, to the letter and still get no response from timer o=in race mode after the successful test, which includes times for each lane as I trigger them. I did hear back from MicroWizard, they instructed me to run the FUNterm test and power the timer up...

Ok, I know it is sad I am posting on Christmas, but this is driving me crazy! I have my brother coming in this weekend and we planned to have a test / family race this weekend. I have a newly assembled Microwizard K2 timer, and a best track running GPRM software. All items are new and I am setting t...
