Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer U3 Setup [HD] - page 4. (Read 30513 times)
Any good recommendations for a raspberry pi based controller that supports the U3?
I think the only other thing to try would have been something like a long nylon cleaning brush from an electric razor dipped in alcohol. Still tricky though.
[Slight necro, was accumulating U3 feedback from all the threads]. That's a good point, I'll find some micro brushes to buy. Can douse them in articlean and work out the paste.
Annndddd...bookmarked. I just purchased an Antminer U3 to test the waters, this guide is comprehensive and easy to understand. I wish I could tip you.
You can, but its not required by any means!

any good recommendations on images for raspberry pi controllers to run these?

Is Bitmain still applying thermal paste with a pneumatic butter knife?
They're usually very good with thermal paste, if you see S1-S4 chip pics, they spend the time to paint each chip individually. I'm not sure what happened on this one, but it was impossible to clean with all the resistors so close. Was either going to be goop or cloth fibres, and the goop was there first.

0a) What to Expect (top)
Bitmain's Antminer combines four BM1382 chips into a small package. Noise levels are extremely quiet and so can life on desktops and be given as gifts. A
USB cable and power supply is provided in the package, although you will need a power cable and external controller to get started.
0b) What You Need (top)
In addition to a host windows PC, you will need some accessories to get started.

1) Powering (top)
U3's come with a 2.5mm 6A 12V mains power adapter, although you will still need a mains power cable.
2) Cooling (top)
The U3 is self sufficient in cooling terms and is self sufficient in cooling terms and utilises an aluminium finned heatsink on the top of the chips. A 92mm fan
provides ample but silent airflow through the heatsink and over the board. The backside of the PCB is screwed to a blue aluminium plate, which acts as a
heatsink and the base of the case.
3) Configuration (top)
U3s can be run on any CGMiner based device. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.
Wiring:
Configuration:
Antpool
BTCGuild
GHash IO
4) Troubleshooting (top)
TBD as problems arise.

U3s can be run on any CGMiner based device. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.
Wiring:
- Plug in the USB cable from the U3 to your computer.
- Plug in the power supply into the mains.
- Plug in power supply into the U3.
Configuration:
- Download the latest version of CGMiner and Zadig.
- Extract, and run the zadig application.
- Select "CP21202 USB to UART Bridge Controller" and then click "Replace Driver". You only have to do this once per computer.
- Create a new file in notepad and enter pool information as below. Save it as a .bat in the same folder as CGMiner.
- Run the bat file to start mining.
