Well, TODAY i have the first board hashing!! NOW i'm very happy.  Grin

Now i found my problem: this setup do NOT WORK with the RASPBERRY PI B+. You need to use the Raspberry Pi 2 instead...  Shocked
And finally, the pins are:

1 is RX
2 is TX
5 4 GND  <-- This is the correct.
6 Board Reset

Thank you very much for all your work; with my free-time i did not could install the rpi2 adapter propelly.

I need either some advice or custom cables made for 6 Alchemist miner board to plug from the on board UART to 6 USB  Dongles with pins RX, TX, DTR or RTS and GND . i finally got my Alchemist 256 miner working I bought with a dead controller now it's running  off a PI with the help of jstefanop !!!! .

The cables from the controller to the boards i tried slicing but it didn't seem to work to well i would like better cables any way. so if any of  you kind bit coiners can link some thing with advice or can make what i need pst me with a price or point me in the right direction.

I plan to sell two of the eight boards once i make sure all eight work as a set with a pi etc etc  .
