Part 3b of the guide has wiring diagrams. I'll post a direct link when I get to a computer.

Part 3B: Wiring your own Molex or PCI-E power connectors
Sample Molex HomeBrew (Electric Tape)

For Dual mode you can safely run 3 miners per PCI-E
For Scrypt mode you can run at least 10 per PCI-E 1-5 per molex.
You could run 10 on molex but I wouldn't take it that high as you could then load 1 PSU lead to 400Watts and burn down the building.

Would it be possible to go into detail for wiring the PCIE cable to 2.5mm Plug for the miners. I want to use an extra psu i have lying around but I am worried I might fry the Miner, also What type of power supply does the WIIDevice take. Can I do the same thing with it from the PSU as the miners or do I need something else specific.

Thanks

The hub and gridseeds are 12v

The RED wire on the gridseed plugs (center of the barrel) is +12v which makes the white wire (outside of the barrel) ground

The wiibox/tplink controllers are 5v USB

Perfect thank you,

Let me see if I understand this, PCIE, I would be able to wire 3 Miners up to, and if I ran a IDE molex to the IDE plug on my modular PSU, the red wire with a ground will provide 5V of power to the WIIContrller

Red and Black yes.

over the last 30 years I've probably replaced 200 power supplies and know where everything plugs in to the mother board but now it's time to get real.

ok - so I have 20 grid seeds ordered and I'll probably dual mine to supplement my btc income and use the gridseeds to mine altcoins - not sure which yet.

so - I have my usb hub, all the usb cables that'll run to the gridseeds from the hub - an ubuntu box ready to go and I stopped by radio shack today to buy barrier strips for the power to the gridseeds.

so - now the question for me if how to I hack these cables up coming out of the PSU to go to my barrier strips to power the gridseeds.

which connectors should I snip off to go to my barrier strips. I do understand that something must be jumpered on the main plug to fool the PSU into thinking it's plugged into a mother board.

any help would be appreciated. ps: I'm looking at a Gold 750W unit for 20 gridseeds.

from what I understand I should be using the pcie connectors to powering the barrier strips?

thanks in advance

Jeff
