edit; not that I was top of the leader board anyway.
edit2; aww...crap, I think I really did it! Thought I'd try a trick...no luck. Switching to that forum...but I am screwed!!!
Ha! you know, my best miner threw a leg outa bed too, im back to running the crappy "new r-box" that cant get over 70GH/s, so you're not alone brother!
i think ive worked mine to be the usb to serial converter, im hoping i can talk to it via rs232, once i work out what the pinout is..
Well, in attempts to repair my miner(remove the dead usb - uart chip, wire up the controller to external usb - uart controller) thanks to the Lack of protection from USB to the chipset, just a little voltage spike (probably on the data line), the 2nd and last of my miners crapped out its own usb-uart chip.
Kano, CK, Thankyou for EVERYTHING. im out, not going to buy anymore miners for some time (maybe when gekko gets theirs out).
By Gekko do you mean the guys who do the server PSU boards?
Are they coming out with a miner? If not, please let me know. I looked on their site, but didn't see anything. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind... I found the thread here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-bm1384-project-development-discussion-995675
Should be interesting.
Yep, that be them and their project. 10GH/s for less then 2.5W, on a USB stick? i want 500 of them! like hell i could afford it though, i be pushing to get 10 i think, even if they are as cheap as $1/GH (i think they will be more along the lines of $3/GH).
Like i said, my only 2 "Good" miners (2x "New R-Box's" one half shot) went belly up and nothing to get any more, i think i have to sit back and wait now. unless someone knows how to repair miners with burned out Silabs chips? (i was thinking of using my only 2 good usb block eruptors and wire them up to the ATMega chip, but i don't know where my thin soldering point went.)
