Clocks are limited to produce a hash rate of 1TH in order to reduce power consumption and noise levels. The Desk is standalone and does not require an external controller due to the inclusion of a RaspberryPi.

A paper clip is used to jump start the PSU, meaning the Desk is controlled with the power supply's switch at the batch. It is worth noting that the unit should be left off for at least 20 seconds when restarting in order to let the RaspberryPi to fully discharge, else the unit will not properly restart. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2910/14527257030_ec49e4df81.jpg (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2910/14527257030_eca610d7ef_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3892/14733789323_868a882665.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3892/14733789323_5eb9de1de3_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 2) Cooling (top) (#post_contents) Desks are shipped with a notice stating that they shouldn't be operated in ambient temperatures above ~26C. I have tested my unit in ambient temperatures up to 30C, at which point the unit struggles. This is due to the purposely quiet cooling strategy designed into the unit, and will be fine for all but the hottest of farms. Two 120mm AMBeyond AV-F12025HS fans are used in a negative pressure tunnel cooling arrangement and remain pleasantly quiet. Auto temperature targeting and thermal cut-off thresholds keep the unit safe. Each of the modules features a full cover aluminium heatsink on the read, while the chips are covered by smaller aluminium blocks to help dissipate heat. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2907/14710766531_bc8d21bb66.jpg (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2907/14710766531_e09c0ef146_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3894/14714049775_5ca677b715.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3894/14714049775_d00be0369c_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3840/14713715352_718f79a24e.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3840/14713715352_6f11a030a5_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3849/14691003326_8c09bbc236.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3849/14691003326_3d42f8cc81_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 3) Case (top) (#post_contents) The Desk is enclosed in a very sturdy steel case that is very robust (and heavy). Modules screw directly into the frame of the case and are shipped with additional support to prevent damage. A 16x2 character LCD display shows the unit's current hash rate, temperature and IP. The shipped weight of a Coincraft Desk is 20kg and dimensions of the shipping box are 560 x 530 x 280mm. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2900/14527297839_2e965af9fb.jpg (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2900/14527297839_29775cc2d6_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/14733815083_8fe29db00d.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/14733815083_b5d1b05ea1_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 4) Configuration (top) (#post_contents) A Raspberry Pi is included inside which acts as the controller.

One thing the CCD misses is the ability to do anything through SSH, everything is done on the web interface. (e.g. monitor cgminer output, install other linux utilities like gcc, noip2 etc.) If anyone could find a way to do this would be great..

I found the online interface pretty comprehensive though, although yeah SSH is always wanted.

Its got a Pi so your best bet is probably reflashing the SD if you're sure you've bricked if. If you think its set a static and you just can't find it, try an IP sweeper. Title: Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmine Coincraft Desk V2 Setup [HD] Post by: zulover on August 20, 2014, 02:36:04 PM well i can locate the ip on the router but it just would go into the firmware, it shows up the same on the lcd screen also even after switching off. so only way now is to reflash?

Title: Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmine Coincraft Desk V2 Setup [HD] Post by: bomberb17 on September 06, 2014, 10:45:38 AM My temperature sensor does not show up on the web interface. I also noticed that on the lcd screen, when I power up the miner it stays on the "Loading minerosd.." message and it does not display the hashrate, IP and temperature.
Other than that the CCD hashes normally @ 600Gh/s. Any ideas?

You might have to contact support for that. Title: Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmine Coincraft Desk V2 Setup [HD] Post by: calagan on April 29, 2015, 12:03:05 PM I'm considering buying a 2nd hand Coincraft Desk:
- Are they built well enough to last several years without issue? - Any noise measurement? Am I correct to assume that it will be much more silent that an Antminer S5 with default settings? Thank you in advance for any comment/recommendation. EDIT: just realized the model I'm looking at is V1; are there big differences between V1 and V2?

EDIT: just realized the model I'm looking at is V1; are there big differences between V1 and V2? I doubt most miners will last several years, especially built on A1 chips. I don't have noise measurements but they're much quieter than an S5 or S4, similar to an S2. I never saw an original V1 so I don't know what the differences are. |
