Can you use a compac stick with an antrouter as the controller as you can the U3?
If so, I will consider getting one when finances are good.
You can use it as a controller but I don't know if it provides enough power to the stick.  Might need a powered hub plugged into the ant.

I used my R1 as a gecko controller and it worked until I cranked up the freq. My R1 hasn't been the same since  Sad

shiny!

I will of course try to beat that.


two compacs may expire with (hopefully) somewhat noble deaths For The Cause.

my 2 two original compacs i will keep, one will go to a friend who is interested in btc and sidehacks compacs are the only thing i will recommend. he, as I, know full well the heat death of the universe will likely precede a block with them but hey ya know hehehe
Okay great, I´m ready fo the battle Grin.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

I really like your mods  Smiley
Hey andy, can you say how much energy do you have to put into the peltier element? Is this power efficient?
Do you have to put more energy into the peltier than into the gekko?   Cheesy

i have a peltier waiting for my compac, with several variants.

i expect to kill a compac (ill sent it to sidehack for an autopsy and of course pay for it)

ill try for early june when im on vacation. ill keep y'all posted. it will probably be entertaining.
Hey, sounds great Smiley!

I got my Antrouter R1 (also based like the Gekko on a single BM1384) running @475MHz with a peltier solution too Wink,

If you are interested in, here you´ll find some closer informations about: My Peltier-cooled R1 Mod

Btw, today I reached 487.5MHz and ~26,5 GH/s Smiley

Little Update 05/19/16: running now with 500MHz @ ~ 27,66GH/s Wink

I moved my 6 stick to my RPI.
I had to use a cheap USB2 hub as bridge as the superbpag 7 ports doesn't work directly on the RPI (I thought it would)

The sustained higher Frequency makes it to Number One.  Grin

Rich

or not :p


Yes RichBC G1 did good in the last Round, but seems to be dragging it's heels in this one. I must get round to squeezing up a bit in frequency, but need to change a resistor value and want to fit a multiturn Pot for more control over the Core Voltage first. My 5V supply and Cooling should take a bit more, but may also then need to change the inductor?

i wonder if there is a brand of hub out there with an easy trace pattern on the board that can be cut and have a 6 pin pci-e socket soldered to it.
that way you can plug in an psu and have up 150w

suppose you can make something, im not quite that good with crafting electronics on a breakout board. but its most likely doable?




If you want to use a hub I would just buy the cheapest USB 2 hub you can find and cut the 5V trace & inject your own 5V. I have a couple that I randomly bought off ebay and both of them have an easily found and cuttable track in them.

I don't bother with a hub. I have just taken a USB extension lead and cut into the 5V supply to the Miner and connected a separate 5V PSU. That way you can supply as many Amps as you want.

Next move is to make a small resistor change to the miner to allow the Core Voltage to be increased above 0.8V and then we are onward and upward to 500MHz.  Grin


Rich


I did it nearly the same way...

I soldered an Power connector for my 5V/10A supply directly on the Gekko PCB (see picture below) and insert an diode in the 5V+ Line from PC-USB cable (to prevent a backflow from PS to PC)..



Running now at 450MHz Wink


It takes about 20 ~ 21 Watts

Well its only a 2.5 amp power supply to the hub. But last time i measured to amp draw it was 1.2 amp at 250m. All 6 ports (4 data and power, 2 charging) are rated at 500ma when its connected to a computer. Alternatively ive seen a 12v usb buck coveter down to 5v and 2A rating. I can hook that up to my breakout board on my psu and running a decent supply from there.

What really matters is how much W each port can deliver.

5V
USB2 is 0.5A: 2.5W
USB3 is 0.9A: 4.5W

Depending on your vcore, the stick can draw a lot.

The 7 ports superbpag is 5V/12A: 60W !

As I use 6 sticks, I get 10W/port.

I max it at 300Mhs....

400??  Blimey, im just managing to get mine running at 260m and being stable lol  already got it running on a usb Y-splitter, contemplating getting another one to daisy chain it so it picks up 3 ports on the hub. Reckon that will make much of a difference?

Hey, runners, I am moving and so my miners will be offline for a week or so, but don't worry!  I'll be back to the races as soon as internet is set up at the new place.  Happy mining!
