I have an extra controller board given to me by a regular poster in this thread.
Let the bidding begins  Grin
How much do you think it is worth?

is this with beaglebone in it?
is it in working condition?

Yes, I am using it now with my Upgrade modules.

damnit knc, why did you have to remove ports 5 & 6 from the Nov Jups.  Sad

Some of the Oct Jupiters were shipped with only 4 ports as well. Not really fair for those that planned to upgrade them.

$2 in parts, a little soldering skills....



No soldering skills here, but can you link me to the parts?
+1 on that request.

I solder.  It is not a simple as it sounds.  The odds are higher that you'll make your controller board non-functional than succeed in adding sockets - unless you are an experienced technician with a lot of soldering time.  Get an old motherboard, remove a connector with .1" spacing between the pins even if it has many more pins than the socket  you wish to add to the controller board.  Try putting  one of those sockets into the motherboard.  You'll see it's more difficult than you expect.  Anyone who would tell a novice to try such a thing to a controller board is looking to reduce the net hashrate by killing your machine.

Saying "I solder" is like saying "I Drive"  you can be good at it or bad.

With a $10 desoldering pump and a decent iron this is (on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being surface mount technology)  a 3 at the worst.
Its 10 huge holes that need to be cleared and a socket installed.

With the red herring add your own sockets to controller boards posts, there would be many modules and mangled controller boards up for auction.  Think of it, guy ruins a Jupiter hoping to overclock with extra modules that aren't even available, he makes a mess of it and abashedly auctions off 4 modules.

(go ahead, call me a fink)

For those with free ports left, the question is now where to get additional modules...

+1

Disgusted miners with a faulty control board who don't want to go through RMA and want to resell individual modules would be the only option that comes to my mind right now (scavenger mode on)

I wish knc would have just put 6 connectors on all jupiter controller boards. It probably would have cost them less than $1 per Jupe and would have made them upgradable.

Drop "idc 2x5 connector" into ebay and you'll find what you are looking for

my hosted miners just went offline.

They are switching off your machines in Stockholm and starting up equivalent machines in Reykjavik Grin


Cool makes for a crazier adventure for when i go and collect them...... Although I was planning to go by car....
They never thought about that. Now bitcoinorama will have to load them all back onto the boat and paddle them back to Sweden

my hosted miners just went offline.

one has come back online at 670GH!!!!
second is only at 580 now, it is always lagging though....

edit: now it is dropping and is back under 600GH. wish i took a screenshot of it up at 670GH, i was very confused.
The other dropped as low as 480 though.

maybe they are testing OC on hosted units?

edit: something is happening

Need some help guys, I reflashed my 99.1-t miner to 99.1-t so that I could get rid of bfgminer and now my miner has changed ips's and I cannot ssh or access its web interface. Also its drawing 235 watts. I tried to do the 5 presses 5 seconds 5 press and then I rebooted and that did not do that trick so I think I need to try the sd card reflash. Has anyone done this?


Does anyone know how to perform the sd card reflash?

Thanks!

Find out what IP address it's using.  Use linux nmap or if you use Windows, there's a Windows version I suppose will give you the same data.

running nmap on one of my linux machines, the network address is 192.168.1.0 so the command is:

nmap 192.168.1.*

then it will output a scan report for every device on your network including some non-existent Windows devices.  The Merc gave me this:

Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.xyz (not really xyz)
Host is up (0.00013s latency).
Not shown: 998 closed ports
PORT     STATE     SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (Unknown)

It is reported as having an unknown manufacturer.

When my Merc has become difficult after a change of some kind, I disconnect the ribbon cables from the controller board and boot to access the BBB.

Anyone have the sd card image for an october jupiter? I tried the one on KNC's site but it doesn't seem to work when I put it on an sd card and flash it according to these steps: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3910296
