I run one board using an el-cheapo CP2102 and WITHOUT a heatsink and got thus:

Obviously, the errors are way out there (due to the lack of a heatsink, I think), but poolside speed was 44 GH/s @ freq 400 (average in an hour) with: -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mypool.mine:3333 -u pekatete -p x --bmsc-freq 0F81
I am currently running with --bmsc-freq 5081 (i.e freq 425)

So I am at a loss as to why some people are only managing a miniscule 12GH/s on a board .... care to share your settings / software / etc ... ?

J4bberwock - way to go! now for the software ..... but seeing what i am getting from a stock cgminer without a heatsink, I am hopeful to be able to squeeze a bit more with one on, which, aside from the fun of it, may be a done deal!

I guess Your blade comes from unit not pensil undervolted, right?

And my best results are with this command line:
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://thepool:9999 -u Jabberwock -p x --bmsc-freq 0F81

giving the following result:

The pool is getting nearly 50Gh on each panel, 100Gh stable, it's slowly going up.

Edit,
I'll try the chaining this afternoon with a second S1 that is supposed to be dead, just in case it was the control board that failed.
But first, I'll need reflowing the same CP2102 as on the first board since only 1 is detected.

Correct me, but it seems there are ~60% of errors at AMU0 and ~70% at AMU1. It is not 42 at the end but 16 resp 12 GHs at pool stats.

You should be right about the pool stats, and they should be even worst since the accepted are multiplied by the difficulty, and the HW errors, but for some reasons, I'm getting 90-105 GH on multipool.
And it's my only miner on this pool.

a board with connectors for 8 boards would be sweet, since i have 20 blades laying around, and the fewer boards the better :-p

ohh and mounting holes :-p

CP2108 will do it.
and mounting holes should be added for the definitive boards.

I've tested chaining, and it works as expected.
The second board still have some issues with the USB port and the second cp2102 isn't working.
Edit: I simply forgot to add a wire for the 5v supply since the TPS2044 isn't soldered. I now have 3 fully working boards.

It will obviously need a case, mstrongbow will get 1 prototype to make it.

It will fail this way uless you start cgminer first and when it's waiting for usb device, you plug the antminer.
then, you have this:

My one blade has been running for days with out any heatsink on the back. The chips just have the little stick on ones. 40-50 ghs (solo mining) using ~60 watts. It seems the hashing speed depends on the clock/chip command. The blade is undervolted, still trying ti figure out how my one blade fried.

could you enlighten us on the resistor value you choose for this, and your cmd line?

I'm not sure the solomining can give accurate value unless you have something else than cgminer to read the hashrate

Just tested the PWM control, and it works perfectly.
Fan speed can now be adjusted with the trim pot.

Currently replacing the silabs driver with zadig to test the hashing

WOW what a cool thing!!! When are you starting to taking orders! Hahaha but the real question is how much this board can value?

They should be 15-20$
I'll check the price of the parts, but the fixed prototypes should be something like 10$.

I just tested chaining, and it seems to work.
Tomorrow, I'll test the PWM on the fan.

nice work J4bberwock. I'm keen to get my hands on a prototype.

Use 3.8.5 from bitmaintech. https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20131224.zip?raw=true

I'll try it again with my board instead of the cheap CP2102 from china.
BTW, after reflowing, both CP2102 are detected correctly.
I'll solder a second one tomorrow and test the chaining before sending them to CHAOSITEC and pekatete.
I'll have a few spare boards I can sell for the price of the parts + shipping, if someone is interested.
I ordered 10 PCB, and I currently have the components to make at least 6 boards.

I want one ! Cheesy

Thank You. I used https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-linux and it makes ~42GHs / 72W. I have no idea about temperature, but it is not very hot, I use notebook cooling desk as a cooler. I had a lot of fun with that. It is not the most efficient miner I have ever seen but ugliest for sure
