31 hours, no errors, continue testing, made some adjustment to firmware, and porting antminer s5 interface to it, stay tuned Cheesy

You are running it at max freq/voltage, that's very brave of you, especially with the factory power brick.

You should do the widescreen display in cgminer, [D] then , to show the HW error field.

Here's the deal, I have 3 of these units running and they will roll to another comm port for no reason. I've tried different power supplies different quality USB cables and I've had units run for over a week without rolling to another port or going zombie, then I've had cases where the same setup goes zombie in less than 2 hours without even rolling from AU3 0 to AU3 1. The best luck I've had was running the units solo with the old version of CG Miner that Bitmain has for download on their site, but I have issues trying to get a second unit to run.

Hmm, i only tested on solo mining, maybe next test will be nicehash, i think this is worst scenario, jumping from coin to coin, i only have one unit, so i can't test multiple u3 on one controller, if someone want to volunteer i can help with firmware setup.

I only have mine set to solo mine on CK Pool.

Thanks for the info! Will keep an eye on this psu.

Maybe, but i think this is caused by outage of main router for about an hour or so
But miner still works, this is all i need. I need to find a block ! Grin

As said earlier: if it works don't touch it Grin

You already had a zombie as it rolled from AU3 0 to AU3 1.

Going from au3 0 to au3 1 over 31 hours is good (it means it kept mining) instead of going zombie and stop's mining altogether.

not sure, this psu original or not, i got one U3 for free from my friend.

I think that is original, or very close to it. Dang your firmware is looking more and more impressive.

Wish I would have known the difference in TPlink nanos about 6 months ago. I needed to extend range temporary and got 2 thinking I could use them after..... but mine is the one without usb. For others get the one with usb on it that is the one you want.

Yes, that's the one.

And to smit1237: running at 850mV on that brick, keep an eye on the BRICK!!! There's a good chance it might start to melt (theres a few posts about that already)!

Sad, but this routers unsupported Sad

2mb flash is too small for openwrt.
Best option is gl-inet, it has the ability to drive up to 5 relays via gpio, so you can reset u3 by timer

next target in nexx wt-3020 15$ router with hardware nat, 64 mb ram, 8 mb flash and 600 mhz processor

not necessarily mr-3020, choose one from list, this is whole ar71xx platform

Looks like compac is supported too Cheesy

Mine is N150's - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PTCFFW?keywords=tplink%20nano&qid=1444379676&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I think it is the most useless of the nano family sadly. They might be able to run it but only usb is power adapter. Unless there is a mod to add usb (which I will be honest I have not kept up on). But this is sparking my interests.

Thank you for sharing! I have one a day it seems on zombie on regular comp. That is already pretty impressive.

Are you powering with brick that came with it or any special like pcie to power adapters on the U3?

New AntRouter R1 - 5.5 GH/s BTC Miner / Wireless Networking Device *Shipping begins October 2015*

The R1 can also be used as a controller to manage and run several AntMiner U3s. Connecting your U3 to the AntRouter R1 via a USB hub eliminates the need to keep the U3 plugged into your computer.

http://bitcoinware.net/collections/frontpage/products/antrouter-r1-5-5-gh-s-btc-miner-wireless-networking

I wonder if it will run the "GekkoScience USB Compac BTC Miner (8-16 GH/s @ 0.3w/GH). "

That is the big question no one knows. The compac emulates a U3.... so it is possible. But no one knows.

Also a custom firmware is likely needed to get the cgminer novak made that get's higher speeds on sticks. But I think there is mods in it's future.

This is offtopic, so we must stop i think.
P.S. If you can do it better - share your build with community. Target mr3020 without usb storage.

I agree with you there. This is off topic and we must stop.

PS: I can definitely do better. But I have much better things to do with my time. You should ask everybody who are willing to spend time on that. OpenWRT already provides everything that you need.
