Is this still being looked at as an RPi project?
It seems to have evolved into a Linux and USB based solutions
Not really linux limited, since cgminer also makes it hashing on my windows laptop.

Not to hijack the thread, but is there different cooling options for the S1 blades? With all the abundance of blades being sold on eBay right now, along with the progress this thread has made, I can't help but to get excited over the prospect of a dyi multi terahash rig.
I think looking about optional cooling is a bit irrelevant for S1 and even S3 if heatsink is there.
Earlier I tried something like that in S3 then forced to drop that project midway.
They are at current price its difficult to ROI. For hobby purpose it may be ok.
Try sinking the heatsink in running water or mineral oil.
Be very careful if you are using water, water is electrically conductive chemically reactive.
Better discuss the project in a new thread, I'm interested in seeing that.

anyone come up with a use for the old s1 boards yet?
love to tinker.

I would think if the community worked more on this for the S1 boards it could be a huge benefit for breathing added life

There's two almost finished ideas in the thread: one by J4bberwock, and the other by myself. Take a look. I'm they could be undervolted to the hash point similar to the bitfury 400G rigs where each chip was doing between 1.5 - 2Ghash and they would not need heatsinks and could be mounted in a high density fashion.
Once one of the ideas bears its fruit I'd love to see something like this happen
Oh lord there's my next home project; wife's gunna hate me
This is from a thread based on user to user support and ideas for the s1 to s3 upgrade kits

And here is the routed board
Trim pot at the top left is here to allow fan speed control.

i have 20 blades so i would definatly like something like 8 connections :-p
and might have more on the way :-p
Stop buying them all and let some for me
I'm ordering 10 PCB for 2 boards to prototype. They were the same total amount for 5 or 10.
Should receive them by the end of next week.
hehe :-p
its still a risk buying them, since ROI might never be within reach, unless btc starts rising again, so im taking a risk, and hoping for the best :-)
at least you know that ill be willing to order several when we have cracked the software problem :-)
ohh and the cairsnmore you ordered from me should hopefuly reach you by the end of the week :-p
Next quick project while waiting for them will be uncovered soon if it works as expected.
looking forward to the "reveal" :-)

Routing of the board finished, but needed thin tracks and clearance I'll have trouble making at home.
I'll order a few PCB directly from a manufacturer.
All components are in hand.
The small board is 5x5cm or 2"x2"
It will allow 2 ant boards to be connected.
The big board will be almost the same size with either 4 or 8 ant boards connectors.
Both should allow daisy chaining using mini usb cable.

here an album showing the finished board. ill be ordering 3 from oshpark on thursday as well as parts to assemble one. now if only i can find someone in the cincinatti -dayton area that would let me borrow a pickit3

Be sure to get the "pins" you need too

ok, I am interested in buying some.
good work J4bberwock.
good work J4bberwock.
For now, we still need to have cgminer and/or bfgminer to work properly with the boards.
The current cgminer only uses multichain when it detects the proper USB>UART chip ID
So we are only receiving hashes from 8 chips out of 32.

Quick update.
I will debug this afternoon and build a first proto tomorrow.
This the "small" one, there is also a 4 port one.
They can all be daisy chained via mini USB cable.

Hi guys,
I know this is not really the correct thread (kinda related), but I have received my 3 x s1 to s3 upgrades yesterday. So I am wondering if anyone else has started this process yet and what tips you might have?
Cheers sla73

Great going J4bberwock. Looking to see further developments.
I'm proud to be the thread OP to be a cause for this to happen.

Schematics almost finished, I finally added something to use the pwm for the fans in case you'd like it to be more silent with the stock fan(s).
I should have some time to work on it today.
