okay
controller is below





nine 18 pin jacks means 9 blades are possible ?

so we need some longer 18 pin cables and we could make a copy of the s-5+

also if you have 2 s-7's you can pull 1 controller off line and run 6 blades on one controller giving a spare  backup controller.

So we need a source for cables that are a bit longer.

So does anyone have a source for these cables?



and maybe even keep using your S5 a long with it from what tupsu said he did  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=858962.0 Smiley . some one on Ebay was selling those cables i never gave it much thought then
and didn't bookmark it or save it in any way wish i had now because i can't find it and need some cables made .


ty pinhead666  that helped a lot and philipma1957 found it on ebay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R1.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xjst.TRS0&_nkw=jst+connector&_sacat=0

I'm pretty sure those connectors are made by JST.I can't find exact match to them anyway.If pitch is normal 2mm then PHD-series seems to be close enough to fit.Maybe little modified.Those PHD connectors are easy to find,digikey sells them.

good I will look at digikey

The picture of the controller board for the S7 says on the silk screen S5+ so it "seems" that they are identical. Also it has been reported that S5 & S5+ controllers and firmware seem to be completely interchangeable. As to cables someone must know the part number of the plugs?

I'm not sure that it will be S7 controller.
This is only one of the possibilities, and can change already with patch2 S7, or even earlier.

But I am pretty sure that,  as S5+ , as well as S7,  be able to work with S5 controller.

And these are easy to obtain, if you have two S5.

Assuming they are willing to sell without making you send in a replacement it is likely you could duplicate the S5+ controller.  It seems it could be flashed via serial if needed and most likely be turned into just like S5+ controller.

Guess we will see if they make S7 controller have a different firmware not compatible with S5 blades.  I think this is likely, but I have been wrong before.  If you can combine it we could see some S7's with old S5 blades on up to 6 blades.

Could be some interesting times.
