Yes, the same driver already has baseline support for the Terminus pod because VH is super thorough. I think with the right USB adapter his code could run an entire S5.

I was figuring on offering just the miner, and also a full kit with the miner, USB cable and power brick. Probably could make a preconfigured Pi an add-on option as well. I don't know what the USB load is but one Pi should be able to handle several pods so it wouldn't have to be a one-to-one thing.

That's great news about the driver!

If that's the case, the full kit with miner would be perfect.

Really getting excited for this..

While pre-configured PI would be nice, I already have 2 of the Pi 3's, so would be kinda redeundant for me.
Just hoping for good installation instructions to setup the software.
Do you anticipate it will be the same software as used for the 2Pac? I have one of those running currently.

Is mining still work? I mean for bitcoins

Do not sidetrack threads with off topic questions.
That exact question is already in several threads dedicated to it, browse the Speculation area.

To remain on-topic, safe bet Phil would be happy to provide pre-loaded Pi's for the pods. He already offers them for Avalons.

Really looking forward to picking up a few of these!

Same, I would buy a raspi pre written controller if one was created. I would pay double the price of a raspi perhaps even 2.5x however only if it came from sidehack. Just saying.. I would even pay for a DLed version and just load it to an SD card. Using windows lately has been a pain.

Now that is a cool idea

This really looks and sounds awesome. Can't wait for this. Hopefully all sidehack's plans are going on schedule

Heatsink drilling is handled in-house by CNC already. I don't have the jig and program built for the Terminus heatsinks but it's a work in progress. Thanks though.

These look great! I'll take 4 when they are ready.

If you need someone to do CNC drilling on heat sinks, I have a bridgeport 3 axis CNC and am an OK (non professional) machinist. I could probably bang a bunch out for you, and would work for pods, pm me.

Me too, but as with any time I trust someone else to do part of the job, the one part of design I've left in someone else's hands is about a month behind schedule getting done. Grumble grumble.

So long as the end product is solid, (no reason to believe it won't be) it will be worth the wait.

Now that the DragonMint was announced with their own chip, is that a consideration in your design? Are you currently using BM138x chips?

Think I can safely answer this for Sidehack: Riiiiiiight.....

And yes the pods still use the old s5 chips, eventually will be BitFury's 16nm ones.

Like they would even consider selling bare chips used in their (so far Vaporware) new miner that has yet to to be seen in the Wild....

Halongmining has stated that they will sell chips, just have to wait to see how that all plays out
