They ship the free samples with Fedex, register as "independent designer" for the company.

ahh perfect :-) thanks

i need 20 cables :-p so i might as well get them ordered ($80 including shipping)

ask for 40 sample connectors, and 320 crimp pins, they will probably send them.

Try runing with -debug and post log here.

I was compiling bfgminer, and it's detected as AMU and hashing as 8 units. (hard limit in the code?)

Shutdown signal received.

And the good thing is that there are no hw errors.

I'll test cgminer again.

Ok, so looking throught the code, it seems to me each board consists of 8 chains (8*4 chips)

and j4bberwock you had 8? hashing units on your test with bfgminer (AMU = icarus)

BITMAIN_DEFAULT_CHAIN_NUM 8
BITMAIN_DEFAULT_ASIC_NUM 32

and default speed is BITMAIN_DEFAULT_FREQUENCY 282

(on s1 units)

really need those cp2102 to arrive lol

J4bberwock did you get to test your idea of changing the board from chain to single on each chip?

Not yet, I was quite busy with other things.
I'll try tomorrow.
For the prototype there are some pins that I can't connect as I want to make the ugly prototype.

To make it short, I started to work on it as 3 separated usb ports on the usb hub chip, and finally switched to 3 ganged ports.
The second mistake was that I forgot to set the pins for the "always connected ports", and I connected them to the wrong input, 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2.
Since I'm using the cp2102 to generate the voltage for tue usb hub, I can't do anything.
New boards already ordered, with slower (and cheaper) shipping.
I should get them within 10 days, worst case.

And I still need to try something on the software side with the actual cheap cp2102 USB converter tomorrow.
Maybe changing drier could help when the usb was detected but not activated.

It took me a few trials to get the cairnsmore working, so I thought that installing winusb with Zadig could help for the cp2102.
or going back to the original driver if it's already winusb.

yeah the cairnsmore can be quite tricky, took me 3 trials just to reprogram them for blakecoin until i figured out to program from number 4 and downward lol

ive ordered a few cp2102 from dx hope i get them before im going back to the boat, in 10 days, so i can start look at the software side, give me a heads up when you get to test the single mode on the blade if it works or not..

another thing ive been thinking off, it should be possible to read the hex program off the PIC IF they did not activate the protection bit

edit: Anyone knows what the female cable connector is called for the 8 pol on the S1 hashing board?

The hex program is available on antminer github

Quick update.
The stencil went quite good, the first board is soldered.

The bad news is that I managed to make 2 midstakes in the design, the USB hub isn't recognized in windows.

But the "useless" boards will allow me to solder the necessary components and to connect wires between boards to have a working ugly prototype and validate the new design.
I already updated the schematics and I'll try to have something working today or tomorrow.

if you manage to fix up the "ugly prototype" you can send it to me, and i will start working with cgminer, the faster we get cgminer up and running the better :-p

and here is the stencil mask that I'll use tomorrow for toner transfert method.
It will be my first trial at homemade stencil.

Beautifully done. Hopefully will get mine fabbed out this upcoming Thursday (My final payday from the hell known as Wal-Mart)

I'm looking forward to see it.
You already tested the design, so you won't discover if it works or not as I do.

true and I'll miss that but I didn't test it per we just based it off manufacturer's design

Awesome! Are you going to offer these as a kit? Would love to assemble one.

Once tested and working, why not.
The idea was to offer assembled boards, but kits can be done for those who'd like to try assembling.
SMD soldering for some parts might not be easy if you aren't used to do it.
I'll probably get/make a stencil once the design is validated.
