Title: PCB DESIGN+ MINER SOFTWARE ADAPTATION
Post by: papamoi on January 22, 2014, 06:46:59 PM
Hi guys,

I ve been able to arrive and finalise the production of the chips.Chips will be available sooner.

Now i need someone who can design for me a pcb in order to get these chips populated in high density pcb.

Can anyone help in this?

the consumption of the chip is slightly higher than expected but i hope we can use it by finding cheap source of electricity

Please pm me if you can help


thanks

P.s: i ll have to make it self moderated as there is two three shit-eater around make me waste my time to reply to them so sorry by advance for that.

thanks

Have you checked out the wasp project? They are working on pcb that works with variety of chips.

hi

thanks for the suggestion

it seems one of their team member has already the chips specs ,i m not sure they are interested in it

i would happy to have intron or c-scape on board as this chip specs looks like similar


thanks

Are you expecting the power consumption to be worse than that listed in the Specification v0_10 document?

approx 10% more

We can help if you send us a few chip samples and chip docs: pin out , transfer protocol, registers, command sequence , comms

To be honest, I'm not sure you'll find a whole bunch of interest. I really applaud your effort to get a community designed chip out there, but you're going to have to sell these at a price point so low that you'll have a hard time making any money on them.

That being said, I might be interested. Do you have the infrastructure in place already to handle the physical assembly of boards into miners, and have you started looking into suppliers for things like heatsinks?

i ll hire some assembly house for this.
not yet as i need to have some desgin pcb under hand.normally i think we ll dont need heatsink if we run them not overclocked

let me know

thanks
