I am designing 3d printed cases for the ATX breakout boards. Should have them ready within a day or so!

0a) What to Expect (top)
The RockMiner R-Box replaces the Cube in the ASICMiner line up at just 10% of the power consumption. This is the first implementation of ASICMiner's
generation 3 40nm BE200 chip. Each unit ships in a custom made box with custom padding and is vacuum sealed from the factory. Cables included will
depend on your reseller.

0b) What You Need (top)
In addition to a host windows PC, you will need a few accessories and a mains power adapter.

1) Powering (top)
R-Boxes do not come with a power supply, and you will need a 2.5mm 12V mains power adapter. Also pictured is the method when using a BlackArrow
power distribution board
. I can not recommend its use due to the pins being openly exposed on the back side. Live to ground can so easily be shorted with a
finger, posing both a safety and fire risk.

      
 
      
 
      
 
      
 
      
 
      


2) Cooling (top)
The R-Box is self sufficient in cooling terms and utilises custom aluminium finned heatsinks on the top and bottom of the board. A low profile frame
92mm fan provides ample airflow while remaining effectively silent.

      

      
 
      
 
      
 
      




3) Configuration (top)
R-Boxes can be run using CGMiner or BFGMiner. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.

Using CGMiner:
  • 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.

Antpool
Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
BTCGuild
Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
GHash IO
Code:
cgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie.RockMiner -p 123

Using BFGMiner:
  • **If you have previously installed drivers using Zadig as above, you will need to reverse this to use BFGMiner**.
  • Download the latest version of BFGMiner (Win64 version).
  • 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.

Antpool
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
BTCGuild
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
GHash IO
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie.RockMiner -p 123


4) Troubleshooting (top)
TBD as problems arise.
