Hi Guys,

This is awesome! Great to see such effort, these are the through die-hard miners Wink

I am still running some dc S1 single blades , but a have 4 single S1 blades laying around.
If somebody is interested in them, please give me a PM. (price 5 euro p\v1.3 blade ex. shipping)
Only the blades, no fan and heatsink, so it can be shipped by post. (EU only!)

Keep on the good work guys!

And here is the routed board

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

When and where can I buy those Huh

Olaf

Jabber has not yet to produce any of those boards.

I still want one Tongue

Someone can share solutions for S3 blades to cp2102 or attach 4 boards to the one controller board???

controller board dead =(
Thanks

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889206.new#new

thank you... but this solution to reflash controller (pic32mx cpu)....
i need pinout rx/tx connected to hash board with uart (cp202) - and working through cp2102 - without controllerboard

hashboard+cp2102stick

are you positive it's dead or is it just bricked

yep from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7598229
Q: The miner just starts up with fans blasting at full speed and has no hashrate or Asic chain information...
A: This can probably be due to the defective controller board. Just swap out the controller board with the other working miners and test this miner again. Then you can determine if controller board is the issue with the miner. And we will approve RMA for the defective controller board.

hashboard pinout for s3 not the same as s1)))... s1 workng fine via cp2102.... and too bad - there is no datasheet for s3 hashboard

Look at the post before yours ..... and you can also get the pinout by simply poking around ..... I don't think a tx/rx connection from the CP2102 to the board on the wrong terminal will blow anything (and the permutations can not be that many either).

You can do that - connect a CP2102 directly to the S3 board(s) and then start a cgminer instance on the PC you've connected the CP2102 (just as has been demonstrated in this thread for the S1 board). You'll need 2 CP2102's though for an S3. You may need to hack cgminer a bit (again demonstrated in this thread) but it should work "out of the box", so to speak.

Almost out of the box, it seems:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10537640

I have 2 C1 dead hashing boards to experiment with.
I'll have a look when I'll be home, by the end of this week. It seems that the C1 boards can be plugged on the S1 to S3 upgrade kit but the 20 pins connector is flipped, so pins won't match unless you remove and flip the plastic part of the receptacle 180°.

First things I noticed is that you have at least TX, RX, GND, 1.8v and 3.3v to connect, not only TX/RX/GND.

did you guys actually get more than one s3 running on a single control board or of the pi and if so can someone point me to that thread.

ok i been reading what you guys been doing here and I was wondering would it be feasible to connect s3 to work on s4 controller board. Dont ream me a new ass hole because i know this sounds out there. I know the parameters are different. I was wondering if the hash-boards could just be connected from s3 to s4 existing connectors by modifying the connectors.

Sounds reasonable, but, if I'm not mistaken, it's a different animal. Even if you rewired, soldered, whatever...the chips don't speak the same language. Call me out, if I'm incorrect, just my humble opinion...I think you would fry the ASIcs (or a simple nothing would occur). Then the story is done. I am curious tho. What WOULD happen? Hmmm...if ya got the money...try it. BTW: wasn't reaming, belittling, etc. Ya just got snippy when we just needed info to help.,

I know I've been more than busy for a long time, and it's still the case, but yesterday, I decided to take a break for 1 hour to assemble the S3 upgrade kits I just received.

And I decided to try my good old USB control interface on it.
here is the result with latest CGminer from bitmaintech website:
http://i.imgur.com/ubS6i9z.png?1

Next step will be to check what's needed to make it work on a native S3 or an S5

Since I don't have enough hours in a day at the moment to work on it as fast as I'd like, I'll offer for download the latest files for the 2 port controller in a few days, after I review them and finally solder some of the boards I received from the latest revision.
The design can be easily upgraded to allow BE200 based units interface.
I'll still slowly continue the work on the 8 ports interface, at least for myself.

still interested in one of your 8 ports interface !

I'm using the S3+. What do you need someone to experiment on? Besides the S3+, I have 5 pencil-mod RedFury USB sticks, 3 Gridseed 5chip dual mining, 2 GawFury ( Zeus ) scrypt. I use different versions of CGMiner for each of these. ( and I had 2 SHA256 Cubes, retired[ran hot]) Ran them all maxed. Still have Grids, + Furies (Usb) OCed, + 2 software OCed (Usb) r-Box, 1 OCed S3+. All but the S3+ ,are USB. That's my resume. What are your needs?

What's the point of mining if you're giving away $100? Tongue

If any of you have some old power cable for the controller board. I would take some. (at least one Tongue

)
