Title: Wanted - PSU and miner controller for Avalon 741
Post by: andytranter on September 19, 2017, 02:45:42 PM
Hello

recently ordered a 741 which i'm waiting to arrive, but coming from my S5 set-up, i dont have the PSU or knew that i needed the control unit!

Does anyone have either (preferably both) of these to sell? Or if a raspberry pi unit is better, happy to hear that also.

PS - as a newbie - is anything else required other than the 741, PSU and control unit?

delivered to the UK, nd can pay by paypal or BTC

I'm pretty sure it's just a standard raspberry pi you use to control it.  Just grab one from Amazon or your local store with an SD card.  You can grab the image off their website

Thanks for the advice! Maybe someone has a raspberry pi to sell, plus a psu :-)

Hi there,

you only need the rasp Pi, an SD card I think 4GB is the minimum the site suggests, and the PSU as well as the AValon Miner.

If you go to Ebay, they have some controllers lised; I usually buy my PSU's from Amitylabs ( you'll have to look them up) not sure what shipping and delivery would be to the EU, and you can find Rasp Pi's pretty easy online.

You might want to check some local buy sell sites in your country to see if anyone is selling PSU's or controllers as I hear the shipping and import fees can be crazy coming from North America.

Hope that helps or if nothing else gets more eyes on your request.
