Hi Canary, which forum do you suggest for setup questions? I fabricated a plug, wired to 12vdc of a computer switching supply with a 12 volt rail rated at 15 amps with a jumper on the main plug. Testing gave me the 12 vdc on the line. Firing it up with the Blade in place got no power. Unplugged the Blade and power. Plugged the Blade in to the supply which was already powered and blew something in the power supply. Unexpected wake-up surge perhaps? I have a power supply for driving motors I can bring from zero up to 20 vdc I may try.

I'm sure it's the supply not strong enough.

Okay, working on a 12volt motor supply. Now here's a problem - when I input my information, it won't change from "asicminer_test:password,update=Update/Restart" to the new user:pass and the neither of two stratum proxys accept it as such.
Ah, that's pretty, the accepted shares flying by on the mining proxy screen.
Two and a half hours later I find the supplied connector in the shipping envelop. These are quite a bear to power! The motor supply (non-switching) is heating. Put the switching supply that had failed to accept the start-up inrush current in parallel. Doesn't seem to be a big help. Tried turning down the motor supply and letting the 300watt supply (which claims good for 15 amps on 12 volt line) take over but it won't; it instead shuts down. Looks like I'll have to invest.
