As of March 2022, new timing rules are applicable for international matches.

• Average time per arrow will change from 40 seconds to 30 seconds per arrow.
• So for 3 arrows it changes from 120 to 90 seconds.
• For Para, the new timing is 40 seconds per arrow. (120 seconds for 3 arrows).
• For alternating matches, timing per arrow stays 20 seconds per arrow. (30 seconds for Para)
• ArcheryClock version 2.6.1.14 is prepared for new timings. But old timings (40 seconds per arrow) is still the default
• Depending on adaptation of new timing rules in national matches, the defaults will get updated in future versions.

(released

Februari 2025)

Updates:

• Added possibility to adjust 'second time' in alternating modes and emergency button pressed. (First time adjustment was already possible).
• Added possibility to Disable F1 to F12 buttons (individually) via scenarios menu in settings screen. Reason for possibility to disable F* keys is because some laserpointers have F* function connected to a button. Leading to scxenario change during a match.
• Update on Swedish Language. (Joakim Stegeby, Thanks for supporting.)

Bug Fixes:

• For Raspberry PI version, back to linux version 'Bullseye' since 'Bookworm' leads to lots of issues. (Mainly color of large letters like 'ABCD' stay white. But also issue to run without network connection. And the Accesspoint functionality. Unfortunately it means we still can't support Raspberry PI 5 since this one requires Bookworm.

(released

January 2025)

Updates:

• Updated WA rule for 'run out of time' sound during alternating rounds.
  An additional Sound is added. In the Settings--> sound menu the 'run out of time' sound can be selected.
  NOTE: this is only applicable for alternating shooting.
• Updated .ino file for ESP module with new type of firmware. (applicable for Full Matrix outdoor screen) a Version B is added. The original version is still maintained for old ESP firmware version. Version ESP32_Fullmatrix_receiver_004* the 'run out of time' sound functionality is added.

Bug Fixes:

• recovery mode on follow system had inconsistent nr of sounds. This is corrected to 4x 'beep'.
• Long delay opening settings menu first time. This is repaired by open and close the menu ones at startup.

(released

July 2023)

Updates:

• New timing rules 25m1p. (40 seconds shooting time instead of 45 seconds shooting time)

Bug Fixes:

• fixed boot issues for Raspberry PI version.

2.6.1.11

(released

September 2022)

Updates:

• No controll of clock with keyboard when timing or settings menu is open. (to prevent accidental clock triggers when changing menu items). Except ctrl-S and ctrl-T to be able to close the menu.
• TAB key made configurable. Before it had the function 'NEXT' but now configurable and by default no function. Some laser pointers are using the TAB-key function. For these pointers you need to put the function to 'NEXT' again in the controll menu.
• Pressing R key instead of Space bar (next) when finishing an end, results in 4 beeps instead of 3 beeps to indicate a recovery is needed before retrieving the arrows.

Bug Fixes:

• Prevented the stop signal starts when opening settings menu with ctrl+S.
• Updated the ESP.ino file for full matrix with a reconnect of wifi routine for the case the connection to router get lost during operation.
• On windows 11 systems the first sound signal starts with a delay. This is solved by using a different sound library. (SDL mixer which was already used for linux version). Also the interval is slightly updated from 850ms to 750ms.

2.6.1.10

(released

june 2022)

Updates:

• Linux version available
• Added Norwegian Language.
• Updated Chinese translation.
• Possibility to open timing and sequence menu with shortcut (ctrl+t).
• Possibility to open settings menu with shortcut (ctrl+s).
• Possibility to choose to shutdown remote systems (Raspberry PI's) automatically when closing the program. (bottom area of settings menu).
  

Bug Fixes:

• Updated (exchanged) naming and function controll dropdown boxes for 'previous end' and 'next end'.
• Archer nr visible for 25m1p in follow mode with slides.
• Corrected helptext color Raspberry PI version.

2.6.1.9

Updates:

• Prepared for new timing rules WA. (average 30 seconds per arrow instead of 40 seconds per arrow).
  It is not implemented yet as default but easy select buttons added in the menu to select 30 or 40 seconds average timing.
• Added default buttons in alternating shooting for PARA. (Updated timings).
• Added the possibility to configure the functions of the NUM-PAD-KEYS. To be able to use a NUM-PAD keyboard to controll the timer.
• New Icon for shutdown Raspberry PI version.

Bug Fixes:

• Fix for using a SUB-Matrix panel connected to a PC or Raspberry PI in follow mode. (matrix didn't show sequence info in this situation).
• 0 seconds green issue solved. When 0 seconds green selected, which means the color of traffic light goes to yellow directly, still went green in some situations. (like shootoff). This is repaired. And was needed for new WA timing rules since Shootoff will become 30 seconds which means yellow traffic light from the beginning.
• Sub matrix ino file update. (AC_submatrix003.ino, solved issue when using double turns) .
• Fixed timings for all buzzer types.

2.6.1.8

Updates:

• small timing improvements for WIFI when used with Raspberry PI.
• Formally released.

2.6.1.7

Updates:

• Added Chinese language. (Thanks to Ziyang Chen)
• Updated French translation. (Thanks to Dimitri Brosse).
• For raspberry PI version: Configure as access point in network menu. By 1 button click. This prevents the need of a router when full matrix screens are used.
• Remove the "fast countdown" effect*.

*: fast countdown effect was introduced since the beginning to correct for temporary PC software hang-up. Time corrected "fast countdown" using the system clock as reference. However, when the system clock synchronizes via the internet, the ArcheryClock lost the systemclock reference resulting in a fast countdown to zero.

2.6.1.6

Updates:

• Shutdown remote (Raspberry PI) systems when broadcast is on and closing the program.
• Added the arduino .ino files and fonts for Full matrix outdoor screen to the package. (To download into ESP32 board, MEGA-segment and MEGA line board).

Bug Fixes:

• Remote serial system (Ledstrip or submatrix), update sequence line to empty when shootoff. (Instead of Keeping ABCD).
• Sub matrix .ino file, initialize output 14 – 17. (Some Arduino boards those ports are not default output ports).
• Update in Swedish language file.

2.6.1.5

Updates:

• Added the arduino .ino files and fonts for Submatrix outdoor screen to the package

Bug Fixes:

• solved Lagging serial connection when com-port is stored at startup. (Caused by adding "serial reconnect delay" functionality added in version 2.6.1.4)
• fixed arrow number 25m1p in slide mode.

2.6.1.4

Updates:

• serial reconnect delay for (outdoor)matrix display.

Bug Fixes:

• Date notation in German language. (added a "." between date and month)

2.6.1.3

Updates:

• Added possibility to pause in between turns. (added functionality for crossbow matches)
• Next function behind TAB key. (to support specific laser pointer for remote control)
• 3rd preference setting added for arrow keys to support specific laser pointer for remote control.
• Added possibility to trigger recovery arrows (make-up arrows) without 10 seconds preparation (red) time. By trigger with shift key down (shift+1, shift+2, etc.). Functionality is also added behind drop-down boxes to select remote control functionality.

2.6.1.2

Updates:

• Show end nr. in slide mode for 1 archer per turn, 1 turn per end.
• Language file Swedish updated.
• Laserpointer control for manual mode.
• About text updated.
