Burnin do you have even a rough estimate on the website? We know you're working on it, but it'll be nice to know at least roughly when do you expect it to go live, mid/late june? july? so that can we make arrangements instead of checking the thread several times a day during weeks.

Thanks

He had an email signup that will notify you when the site is live.

This is offtopic, but in fact I already have the RPI, and I use it for some home automation. I also have a Pandaboard ES and other hobby stuff and i am very familiar with Linux. But I the beginner in mining theme

Just after reading the OP and a few pages i found about 16 Modules on one USB connection but for clarity I decided to ask a question.

I didn't mean anything, just wanted to make sure you had a grasp of what you are getting into. They would be an expensive paperweight.

Back on topic, Will there be any type of remote power reset mechanism for each board if I have a miner go down and restarting cgminer doesn't work? I am probably going to put my miners in a remote location, so I am just wondering if I should wire up a relay for each board to restart it.

Yes, up to 16 Modules can be combined into one cluster through CAN-BUS.
The bus connection is done via 10 Pin ribbon cable.

And please don't start another flame war, thanks.

No offence, but it sounds like these boards might be over your skill level as this is a pretty basic question and I don't think he is going to set up the pi's for plug and play.

If you don't daisy chain them, you can connect up to 127 devices and I think 5 hubs to one usb controller. It is best to use the lower port on the raspberrypi, as people have had some trouble with the top port recognizing some devices. (not sure why, but mine does it too)

Unrelated/offtopic, but this explains a lot! im using 2 hubs in raspi, and the devices connected to the hub connected to upper port occasionally has issues! ill try to dasychain to the lower port hub.

Just checked lower port hub is the one with issues.

Can someone explain how the boards will be combined into rig?
Or even so - how many 20 chips boards can be connected to the one RPI/PC?
If I understood correctly - one RPI is enough, or i am wrong?

Because i'm going to buy 120 chips (and 6x20 burnin boards) and i do not know what else I need.

wohoo!

hmm... building a combined cooling set up for my two 20 chip boards AND the USB asicminers i've got will be interesting...

I've dissolved my GPU miner and I have one power supply left - Thermaltake Smart M750W 80+ Bronze (modular).
Will it be suitable to power a few Bitburners XX or should I rather get rid of it?

It should be the perfect choice for these boards. Wink

Interesting I have not thought of this. I was planning on running mine off my laptop. Will I be able to run it of my laptops power or will I need a PSU?

Edit: Im only getting one 20 chip board.

burnin stated in the first post that the 20 chips board will consume ~40Watts @ 12 Volts. So yes, if you have a Laptop PSU thats rated 40+ Watts at 12 Volt, it shouldn't be a problem.

you can re-purpose laptop PSU for this (provided it does 40W), but u cant run it off your laptop's power. USB port provides 0.5A @5V = 2.5W which is slightly below the 40W requirement...

Correct, i will also offer compatible 12V brick power supplies and raspberry pies on the website.

welp, i just jumped in for 40 chips with sebastianju. i now join the (insanely long) line of people waiting impatiently for burnin's site.

i really hope he's abel to hire some extra hands or something to assemble all this...

As stated before: I won't assemble the boards personally, this will be done by contractors.
The boards will be assembled by Essemtec machines, mainly this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8qkaTsr2_o.
Maximum speed 20.000 components per hour, for reference my board has 341 components.

Overall project status:

I spent the last few days evaluating various firmware/hw builds for different chip interface options in order to determine the best.
The decision has been made and i now ordered my prototype boards.
I'll provide new drawings later so you can design your own cooling solutions.

That should work well. From the drawings, you can use Molex and PCI-e pin settings. That is all you need. Keep it. Or give it to me for ten bucks Cheesy

The website is ready to launch, but I have to wait for a tax registration number from the Finanzamt.
My Company can be found in the Handelsregister Hamburg now.
Full Name:
"Burnin Electronics UG (Haftungsbeschränkt)"

That takes between 10 days and one month. We had a U-St. ID Number after 2 months with a tax number far earlier in most projects.

You can, if the Impressum is an issue, state in the Impressum "Steuernummer: Beantragt, erwartet Registrierung."
This is factually right and from the moment you have your "Gewerbeanmeldung" you should be allowed to do business. Don't worry about that. The Steuernummer is NOT necessary for the Impressum before it has been issued.

However, make sure you get everything else right. I would in fact not state much about AGB, if you do want to stray from German law. Most retailers have huge walls of text that in fact do not even fucking differ from BGB and HGB law...

Ordering will be done through an dedicated website that is not up yet.
The website will open in mid May.

whats the status on the website?
