Yeah, just direct to the PSU seems to be working fine. I ended up not using the ATX adapter because I could not find the right cables locally. So, I just plugged it in directly (see pics). When I get more cards, I will try to figure something out with the ATX adapter.

So, cgminer 3.1 picks up multiple cards but it thinks one of them is an Avalon and crashes. I can run multiple cards on cgminer 2.1 but the sixth card is not recognized. Still working on it. The hot light does not go off either on that one card.

Mining TRC seems a bit slower than BTC in cgminer for some reason.

We're sorry for this. Our staff did not realize this issue. Bare with us while they are learning. It's a new product and these mistakes are known to happen in the beginning.

We will send you the splitter free of charge in the next package.

If I have an ATX power supply can I plug it into these units directly without issue? Do I just need male/female adapters?

you want to connect molex from PSU directly to the board? yep, works fine for me without any problem.

for me personally, package arrived without any customs, fees or another costs. (4 boards, central Europe, DHL) - great.)

DHL typically invoice you for customs fee later, if the package was declared with an value that is above the customs limit.. Which is like $30ish in Norway Sad

I was also scared about this, because customs limit in Czech Republic is +- same (22Euro) but all works fine and without customs

Woohooo

! The first half of my order arrived today.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy to see from the pictures that since last week we've improved on the packaging and fans.

Just wondering, have you paid any customs on your package?

I'm not sure what you want to do. Please post some pictures.

Does cgminer automatically pick them up?

In linux, run this:
cgminer `for i in /dev/ttyUSB*; do echo -en "-S $i "; done`

On one of my linux boxes this worked perfect and the device was a /dev/ttyUSBx device automatically. On my Raspberry Pi I had to do this before it was fully recognized:

sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001

Via the cgminer docs: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer

Code:

Q: How do I get my Icarus/Lancelot/Cairnsmore device to auto-recognise?
A: On linux, if the /dev/ttyUSB* devices don't automatically appear, the only
thing that needs to be done is to load the driver for them:
Icarus: sudo modprobe pl2303 vendor=0x067b product=0x230
Lancelot: sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
Cairnsmore: sudo modprobe ftdi_sio product=0x8350 vendor=0x0403
On windows you must install the pl2303 or ftdi driver required for the device
pl2303: http://prolificusa.com/pl-2303hx-drivers/
ftdi: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

You can use the dmesg command and look at the bottom of the logs and you should see it show up after you run the command.

huh, I followed this guide http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/TechnicalNotes/TN_101_Customising_FTDI_VID_PID_In_Linux%28FT_000081%29.pdf and now running 4 boards on RPi via usb hub without any problems..

One thing we've forgot to mention for those interested in the power used.
The Lancelot devices are using less power than initially advertised: 26.4 Watt instead of 30 Watt.

Hey guys just wanted to update you and let you know that half of my order arrived today. I was told when I ordered 10 that they just didn't have the units so only half the order could be fulfilled.

Well, it arrived today just as they told me. However, since I ordered the ATX power splitter and it did not arrive and because I told them to only send me one normal power supply I can only power one device at this time.

Its rocking really nice, averaging about 380Mh/s right now though, super easy to get running.

Will get pictures soon....

Is this 1 to 4 DC splitter 5.5x2.1mm OK, to power up 4 Lancelot from 1 AC to DC Power Adapter?

http://gls-power.en.alibaba.com/product/569412435-210419390/1_to_4_power_cable_distributor_5_5x2_1_3_5x1_35_DC_plugs.html

It should be fine. Why would you need it? We ship all orders including more than 1 Lancelot and a 10Amp power supplies with this cable.

Got the first one up and running. Working on setting up PSU with all six. If the fan does not start automatically, switch which 3 pins it is plugged in to and it will start right up. Here are some more pics.

These have an ROI of what, nearly a year? Obviously better than GPUs but compared to ASICs :/ Is it really worth it?

We have only one left clearing payment 3.8 at 117.5. Is this your payment? We are closing to the delivery date therefore if the bitcoins doesn't go up you might need to think about adding some more satoshis in order to reach your total amount.

Nope, I've done a bank wire transfer in Euro
