mine is here also. i was amazed about the simpleness of the setup in Win7.
You just need prolific USB to COM drivers and cgminer with command line
cgminer.exe -o http://xxx.com:8332 -u username -p password -S COMx --disable-gpu --failover-only
where COMx the COM port that Icarus is connected to (like: COM1,COM2, etc)
you should update wiki with this steps for windows users Wink

Just curious, for those that are buying them- what's the expected break even period for this device?

currently it's ~388 days. Using the following variables for the input of math.

cost = $480
speed = ~380MH for now: source; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fpga-development-board-icarus-discontinued-important-announcement-51371
Current difficulty = ~1,591,075
BTC per day (100% pool) ~0.24
BTC Price = ~$5.15
USD per day = @$1.236

=initial cost / gross per day
=480/1.236 = 388.35

With things like the block reward half coming and the BFL ASIC solution, nobody really knows.

You could say it is x months and it can turn out to be 10x months for example due to above unknown factors.

Mining is very risky all of a sudden Cry

Same applies to any solution right now, including GPUs etc.

Icarus using : TPS40193, there are some of them using: TPS40192. Maximum power supply capacity is greater than 12A. (by ngzhang)

Actually this does not answer my question. The BOM linked from this wiki is incomplete. I am sure the type of buck regulator was discussed in some threads but I cannot find the information...

in the wiki page i see only linux commands. Windows are not proper for Icarus?

No. the wiki page only linux commands because I only do the Linux stuff.

There are windows cgminer:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402

And a python application MPBM:
https://github.com/TheSeven/Modular-Python-Bitcoin-Miner

Those 2 application works fine under both Linux and Windows.

What the buck regulators are used on the Icarus? What is their maximum output current per FPGA?

What you mean on " buck regulators are used on the Icarus",

You can find all information about Icarus here:

The power wire:

The power adapter:

No, I cannot include both power adapter and power cable. I think it's easy to buy those kind of things, any power adapter that is
12v 2A is ok for Icarus. as I said if you buy more Icarus. I would advise use an ATX(PSU) power.

I only know where buy those kind of things in China: taobao.com, may be ebay also have them. more info:

Could you include BOTH power adapter and power cable?
I don't know what the power cable look like. Do you have a picture?
Do you know where I can buy power adapter or power cable if you can't include both?

How do you know who send what payment?
If someone watches http://blockexplorer.com/address/17haZtGFSMktDJjdm7K1WtcUcnsLYCbBLL or directly the network for a payment to that address he/she can send an email about it.

Shhh! I was going to do exactly that Wink
