Topic: BFL ASIC DESIGN? (Read 5695 times)
You'd better make sure it doesn't look like an Apple product (rectangular with rounded corners). Otherwise, you might get sued for patent infringement!
What interests me is have the colours represent the status of the device. Silver or Blue when its not crunching, Red when its crunching, and Black when its not plugged in or lost power 
LED's FTW <---- makes managing an group of these fairly easy.

yes please!!!
I --love-- this idea!
The Jalapeno's coffee warming ability is kind a secondary focus and of efficacious it might be is somewhat dubious... but it will hash, oh yes.
As far as power on the singles go, we are going with a different power brick, but your old ones should still be compatible with the new units.

Ok, so can we look forward to the same industrial design?
This is really a dealbreaker for me, so you should provide pictures!
The real question is why aren't you, for you it's win/win?!

This is interesting. I could have sworn they said it would have an internal power supply. But their website is down (related to the godaddy outage?) currently so I can't check.
At least we can power the things with our efficient PC power supplies.
The internal PSU bit on the website was a mistake. It's since been corrected. It will be an external PSU.

Can you tell us what process you're using for these chips, eg 90nm SOI?

Let us leave the Jalapeno aside. It can only warm a cup of coffee, so nothing great.
Look at leaked image of Single SC prototype (or is it MiniRigSC?):
Hot and ready for cooking!

So November now!
Pretty sure it was always late October.

That is actually a good idea. However, as they are suppoosed to start shipping in 3 weeks, I doubt that it could be incorporated into the design!
I assume that they are still on track to stary shipping in Oct? I havent heard any different.

End of October to early November was the last offici BFL update

But can you post the shell design of the jalapeno, so I can order one? I won't if it looks like a cupwarmer btw.
Silver
Red
Black

or maybe
White http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qVsj0V9Ctg&feature=related
White Tested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmoivttof5g&feature=related
Black Tested http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=cMPd9DyTpKg <-- 111F Hot Setting 71F Cool Setting (Would heat up the asic so not recommended)
Whatever the case I suspect that it may be using Peltier Devices for Thermoelectric Cooling/Heating

The internal PSU bit on the website was a mistake. It's since been corrected. It will be an external PSU.
Any details on PSU size/voltage/etc?
1.21 Gigawatts! At 0.25V, of course.
I'm set!
Haap's array can beam up to 3.6 megawatts of energy into the sky.
The internal PSU bit on the website was a mistake. It's since been corrected. It will be an external PSU.
If the power supply for the new SC single ends up being the same as used on the old singles, I hope they'll let us keep the old power supplies when we trade in the old singles. That would save on shipping.

So is this then going to be the same system as the current Singles, whereby there's a 12V power brick for every unit?
Is it going to use the exact same voltage and barrel connector size/type as the current Single also? I would very much like to hook up all the units to an ATX PSU - in fact I'd have done this already with parts supplied by Cablez if I knew said cables would be compatible with the new unit.
