Is there any way to send an impulse out from a Timy 3 at a set interval (1.2Sec) ex.?

The TIMY3 has a program for their SSD1 Start door that may work.

PARALLEL - START PROGRAM

1. PRESS GREEN START KEY FOLLOWED BY THE GREEN OK KEY TO TURN TIMER ON

2. MOVE THE HIGHLIGHT BAR DOWN TO PARALLEL- START WITH THE DOWN ARROW

3. SELECT BY PRESSING THE GREEN OK KEY ONCE HIGHLIGHTED

4. PRESS CLR KEY FOLLOWED BY THE GREEN OK KEY

5. PRESS THE GREEN OK KEY TWICE TO MOVE PAST THE “SYNC TIME PHASE”

6. PRESS THE GREEN START KEY TO START PROGRAM

7. ENTER LOSING TIME FROM FIRST RUN AND PRESS GREEN OK TO ASSIGN TO BLUE

8. ENTER LOSING TIME FROM FIRST RUN AND PRESS RED OK TO ASSIGN TO RED 9. O FIRST FOR A TENTH VALUE , IE ENTER 01 RED OK FOR .01 ASSIGN TO RED

10. PRESS A BUTTON PLUGGED INTO CHANNEL 1 TO START SEQUENCE

It's kind of disappointing that you have to manually enter the delay into the TIMY.  I had envisioned software taking care of this by recognizing the pair of athlete #'s, and automatically incorporating the appropriate delay from their 1st pairing.  Anybody seen this feature in a software?

Also, what are the voltage/current ratings on using C0 and C3 as outputs?  A 25pin connector might have 22 or 24 or 26 gauge connected, say it's 24ga, that's 1.4A capacity.  Are there any specs available on what the TIMY outputs C0 and C3 can handle electrically?  We have home built heavy duty cattle gate latches to release our gates (they'll still release under 2000lbs pressure on bolt!), so I want to be sure I'm not going to fry the transistor or wiring inside the TIMY by operating the latch release.  We run 12Vdc.  Can TIMY switch that?  Can it switch 120Vac?  What amps can it switch at both those voltages?

Thanks!

Neil, re gate latches, you just use a relay that switches the high voltage and current, but only needs a 5 volt signal to make it switch

Ah, excellent.  That will work perfectly.  I figure I’ll try to use one of those Arduino cards to make a home built control box and lights/horns.  And as input, the Arduino is looking for 5Vdc also.  This was supposed to be a retirement project, but I’m getting too excited about it to wait, ha ha.  Thanks!
