Topic: Avalon Nano 3 [unofficial thread] - page 4. (Read 7787 times)

I removed the plastic grill and reduced mine to low speed.  I can barely tell it is running now and has been stable so I'm happy.  If I were trying to ROI with it I would probably be disappointed, but using as a lottery miner I think it is still the best option available at the moment.  I do with that they had a better way to order them but I got my unit eventually and I think it's probably the only miner I've purchased with a credit card, so there's that...

I'd like to be able to adjust the speed programmatically. Maybe create a program to tie it to the ambient temperature of the room.

It would also be fun to be able to adjust the lighting too, though less practical. I don't know, maybe there are other things we could do if we had shell access.

That's great that they say they are releasing the sources, but I'm not holding my breath on that one!

What exactly would you adjust? There is an announcement of Canaan that they will release the sources in December this year.

Thanks for this thread.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to SSH into this unit? I don't know if Canaan wants people to do this, but they did leave the port open, so I'm confident someone can find a way.

I'd love to be able to programmatically adjust settings, and wonder if getting access via SSH would allow for that.

Mine looks like this when you are blocking scripts from running on the page, either in Brave by default or using something like ublock/umatrix

Thanks, but I end up order original PSU on Indigogo.
I forgot that they have tip system and I accidently over paid for it...
Well, listen learned.
Unlike Amazon or common check out screen, you can't alter the order or cancel it anyway.

I could go for another Nano 3 but... since I have 2 now, probably I should wait.

here are the white and black units buzzing away:

Not sure what to tell you except just make sure the psu has PD3.1, I overlooked that detail but apparently its one the more important details to pay attention to. Canaan told me many folks are having good success with the Ugreen 160w charger.

On Canaan's official site theu come out to just over 66 bucks with shipping included to Canada. I was having a hard time finding something of quality in that price, shipping included.

Another one I've seen them talking about in the TG chat that I've had good performance from Amazon is this 210W PD3.1 psu/charger. Currently there is a 15 dollar coupon one can apply bringing the cost down to $34.99

Amazon link, this is not a referral link https://a.co/d/gYgZXNt 

my units are fine on medium speed.

Although my town had major internet issues Sunday and Monday which force me to do some work to get them running yesterday.

and I do not think the dell are missing PD 3.1 usb-c as they say they can deliver proper voltage of 5 amps and 28 volts which is 140 watts.

he may had got a bad dell chip or a bad chip in th Avalon

(sign) ......are you serious? I'm still paying for that damn thing.

What about philipma1957? Aren't he's one of the people inspired some people here and redditors to buy Dell charger?
Does he have any issues?

Also, cheep my ass. I went to indigogo and Canaan PSU was around 70$ include shipping.
Although, there's no PSU that you could buy cheeper than 50$ so I guess 70$ is worth it after all.

Instead, I could go extra mile and buy another Avalone Nano 3 and let the first one burn to hell, what do you guys think I should do?

Currently using (& semingly without any problems) this charger kit that includes proper cable:

USAMS Fast Charger Kit (Modell: US-CC168 / USAMS T52 140W ACC GaN Fast Charger (EU) + US-SJ581 / U82 Type-C to Type-C 240W PD3.1 Fast Charging & Data Cable
USB-C1 Output: 5V:3A, 9V:3A, 12V:3A, 15V:3A, 20V:5A, 28V:5A (140W Max) )

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Avalon Nano 3.

I've had the device since yesterday, but I'm having problems with the web interface. Nothing is displayed there (see picture). I've already tried two other browsers, but the problem remains the same. I've restarted it countless times, unplugged the device and reset it - all to no avail. The data was only displayed once.

However, when I logged in via my cell phone, the data was displayed as it should be. What could be the reason for this? Does anyone have a solution to the problem? Thanks.

Oh no.  I was feeling so good about my Avalon Nano 3.  Now as I sit in my office I can hear that the fan is quite a bit louder than it originally was.  Sounds like maybe a ball bearing is going out already.  I picked it up and it sounded like things were moving around in there.  I'm not going to touch it again and I turned it down to low speed in hopes of keeping it alive as long as possible.  I'm going to try removing the plastic grill like you mentioned in another post to improve airflow and maybe if that helps out I'll try it out on Medium again. 

yeah but you can get a t21 model  for 1600.

I think I can build one for that including shipping. as long as you are usa based.

Its 1 board not 3

it will do 500 to 800 watts. about 18 watts a th

28 th to 44 th.

I run 3 s19 xp models to nicehash in my friends office

If you want an xp I can go to maybe 1100 including shipping. these are built already they do about 22watts a th

I would ship to lower 48 and this all belongs in a pm not here.

that BitChimmney S21 looks super awesome, wish I had spare $3k lying around to get one.

I run them at mid speed. Not high speed.  I use them with a wifi repeater. I popped off the plastic grills to have better airflow.

I leave them alone so as not to stress the usb-c connection.

I like the altairtech builds.

let me find a link.

https://altairtech.io/product/bitchimney/

if you use the t21 and the epic controller you can clock it to 500 watts it will do about 27th.

I built 3 with the s19xp they work well.

Tell us a miner that is beautiful designed. As for the fragile, how do you treat them?

what is low power 140 watts ?

there is a cut off and it is not low power correct?

so they could have made it a bit higher power say 200 or 250 watts.

or is low power standard stupidly too high like 600 watts?

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/en/article/20220413STO27211/usb-type-c-to-become-eu-s-common-charger-by-end-of-2024

this above does not answer the question still looking.

this below mentions 100 watts as top end

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2021/698819/EPRS_BRI(2021)698819_EN.pdf


i know that the nano does over 100 watts.

So i need to find a higher standard. I thought it was bumped to 230 watts

which would mean the nano would need to pull 250 watts to qualify for a pcie power supply.

still looking for that watt number in an official document.


kept looking and found

https://wandkey.com/usb-pd-3-1-vs-pd-3-0-vs-pd-2-0/

which talks about pd-3.1 over usb c as much as 240 watts.

so a 260 watt nano with lower speeds  option could have used 2 pcie power jacks. or the new adapter 12 pin jack

could have been sold . and if it runs too loud just set it to a lower speed.

and easy peasy legal run around the stupid eu rule. as  a 24 /7 / 365 unit running on usb c is moron.

this is an adapter that works with just about all atx psu’s

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MZRVJWC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3KOUHYUNS6C1J&psc=1


we would have been better off with a unit just over the 240 watt standard of usb-c pd 3.1

but no.

I run my two units at mid speed they still hang in there well.

but one 260 watt unit using an atx would have suited me fine.

btw they would have had no psu shortage issues my way.

this one below would run two of them especially if you drop power down to midspeed.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073H33X7R/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Well, yes except that EU REQUIRES the USB-C PD format. Barrel connectors and PCIe are now forbidden on low power stand alone devices.

The bottomline is the design is terrible.
more parts to break.

very sloppy and lazy. The nano’s are cheap and have extra parts that can break.

Would have been better off with a simple six pin pcie. and a voltage regulator.

I have two and they still run okay. Set to medium speed.
