I have the opportunity to purchase another "Full" unit however I already have 2 "Full" units running and really want to use those as controllers to control more standard units.
Is this possible?
TIA.
The main difference between the Full version and the Standard version is one Linux device similar to a Raspberry Pi but more powerful.
The Full and Standard units come with the same BTC Miner. If you buy a full version you can just ignore the Linux device if you want to, and then it would be a Standard unit (hopefully you're getting them cheaper than Standard versions).
On the other hand, you can supply your own Raspberry Pi device and connect to the USB connector of a Standard unit, making it "Full".
Basically it is possible to turn a Full into a Standard, and vice-versa, after you bought it.
Having said that, I'm still getting pool disconnections when the Internet restarts with a Standard unit that doesn't seem to be present in the Full unit, so there's something going on there. Probably because of the USB connection instead of the direct GPIO connection of the Full.
A raspberry pi 3 isn’t enough, or?
