Title: Alchemist cables made custom Post by: toptek on May 14, 2016, 10:47:39 PM I need either some advice or custom cables made for 6 Alchemist miner board to plug from the on board UART to 6 USB Dongles with pins RX, TX, DTR or RTS and GND . i finally got my Alchemist 256 miner working I bought with a dead controller now it's running off a PI with the help of jstefanop !!!! .
The cables from the controller to the boards i tried slicing but it didn't seem to work to well i would like better cables any way. so if any of you kind bit coiners can link some thing with advice or can make what i need pst me with a price or point me in the right direction. I plan to sell two of the eight boards once i make sure all eight work as a set with a pi etc etc .
