Title: How to build a rasp pi 3 for mining with your asic gear. Post by: philipma1957 on August 20, 2017, 10:43:19 AM I ordered the following parts
a nice metal case from amazon 1 rasp pi 10 pack of mirco sd card with a read/write device 1 good case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ3I5R4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=11 rasp pi 1 rasp pi https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-A1-2GHz-64-bit-quad-core/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=pd_sim_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HR61RVA7Z2NQ9885EV3K 10 blank cards with a read /write device included https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDZW34Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61oJk8xqgoL._AC_UL115_.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/911-6mZDbrL._AC_UL115_.jpg a single card https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81g9RVJxoZL._AC_UL115_.jpg 10 pack of cards with a read/write https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81Niohw364L._AC_UL115_.jpg shots below show how I cloned the oem micro sd to a blank card I had an eight gb oem card and I used 16 gb blank cards. I used hdd raw copy tool http://www.hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/ first step was pull original 8gb card and stick it in the new rasp pi then check to be sure new rasp pi was working! https://i.imgur.com/RuhRQEA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/T0VLFGH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZzMblAL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/psz1IIh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jxiWfsy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/B6KyqOe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ftv0yxk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FKVGMHO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RvJq2Xq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SIav9qQ.jpg Title: Re: How to build a rasp pi 3 for mining with your asic gear.

https://i.imgur.com/JDhAQuX.jpg heat sinks and screws https://i.imgur.com/TMgldI1.jpg it was a peel n stick heatsink https://i.imgur.com/Misnsjd.jpg this is a peel n stick heat sink https://i.imgur.com/KltSeJG.jpg second heat sink attached and I am screwing the rasp pi into the metal case. notice the hdmi is lined up as is the power in usb port https://i.imgur.com/MDsquwo.jpg fully attached https://i.imgur.com/cAQlKM6.jpg top of case https://i.imgur.com/x2wfKAQ.jpg micro sd card end https://i.imgur.com/sKd0RWm.jpg plate gets attached but a little loosely so that you can line up other end https://i.imgur.com/YpJmaBa.jpg other side other plate also attach loosely then tighten both plates evenly boom it is built! under 15 minutes https://i.imgur.com/3y5nix4.jpg Title: Re: How to build a rasp pi 3 for mining with your asic gear. Post by: Kuulani on August 20, 2017, 03:50:30 PM Thanks for the great guide Phil. I'm sure it was a hell of a lot cheaper than the 100$ they want for there controller. Toss in a pair of good ol anker usb cables and a one of there 2 port USB bricks to power the thing and your off an running.

Post by: HashZilla on August 20, 2017, 04:07:18 PM Having only mined GPU, am I correct in understanding you can use a generic Rasp Pi like this and pre-load software to control, say an Avalon 741 in order to save some cash? Are you planning on expanding to include the software preload for various miners ? I have an Rpi 2 sitting in a box somewhere not to mention the cash I had planned for Vega cards....are the Avalon's readily available?

Toss in a pair of good ol anker usb cables and a one of there 2 port USB bricks to power the thing and your off an running. yeah I suggest buying an avalon rasp pi and build a spare one. if you have multiple avalon 741's also the rasp pi has other mining setups. I suggest the larger micro sd card the 16gb. and if you are running a ton of rasp pi's here is a great power source. for up to 5 rasp pi's https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41KgZ30sieL._AC_UL115_.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUTIUEA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503256820&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+5+port+charger with 5 good cables will run and run and run https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61ySzukqBDL._AC_UL115_.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Anker-5-Pack-PowerLine-Micro-USB/dp/B015XPQ5KK/ref=sr_1_1? if you are running 2 rasp pi's this is good https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31M7smqXSGL._AC_UL115_.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Anker-2-Port-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01LCDJ7LG/ref=sr_1_1?

Now i buy new rasp pi 3, do you have ready to use iso to set it up? no I only have avalon software. I made 2 spare rasp pi 3's and I cloned 4 spare cards. I was hoping others would post other mining software images to use for other miners. |
