Did it really only take 2 hours to solder the chips on?  That's awesome!  Let me know if you can make some boards for me I have BITFURY chips coming soon, any day now supposedly.

How did you order them?


How much per chip?

Love this hack.  Let me know if you make some for sale.  I have a couple non-working boards I could try this on.
So do you want to use chips from non-working h-boards on a new H-board?

thats the idea - but have you seen that there is someone doing a group buy for a reel of BF chips?

Badass - Where can you get the blank PCBs?
I got them manufactured through advancedcircuits as well as oshpark. The oshpark pcb's look dandy but are 0.5ounce Cu. If chips are available for sale in Feb, I will get more boards made.

so what does this do ?
Well I had a few empty slots to fill in my starter kit, and a month and half ago H-boards went OOS, and the only thing one could buy were chips. This is the result.

Nice going Goxed!

Interested when you are ready to sell. Will you possibly sell it as a kit for the end user to do the soldering themselves?

I'm no EE but I can float a chip.

I could sell it as a kit. (PCB + chips + assembled regulator+ 8 heatsinks). Mounted PCBs will cost ~ 60-80USD more.
 Lets see when the chips are back in stock.

This was just a fun project to quickly cobble together working h-boards using Bitfury chips and blank h-boards. Each board uses a modded ISL8225M eval board regulator (0.84V), 16 chips and 16 capacitors and was hand soldered in 2hr.


Brilliant:)
Thanks man Smiley

nicely hacked together! Its amazing how simple the bitfury design is that without the need to convert 12V->0.9V the board is practically empty save for a few capacitors and the chips
these ASICs are highly integrated Smiley. The only PITA is debugging a really dead chip in the chain.
