Each module achieves a hash rate of 280Gh at 310W at stock speeds. An external controller is required, and can use a modified WR703N router (http://goo.gl/YMHlxw) or a Raspberry Pi (http://goo.gl/cKzGXq). A 4 pin interconnect wire, two jumpers, a 4 pin to micro USB adapter and a micro USB to USB cable is included along with the interface board.

I recommend buying the controller directly from Avalon as they will preflash it with the correct firmware.

Any two of these will do. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3869/14787869357_66181a6636.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3869/14787869357_97aa8e9faf_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3847/14787722789_97ef07a515.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3847/14787722789_2d8fcb37ee_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 2) Cooling (top) (#post_contents) Each module has its own 80mm Delta GFB0812SHS fan that sucks air through the sealed heatsink and across the back of the module. These are premium high pressure, expensive fans that utilise two independent rotors. Cooling is power efficient but noisy and designed with data centres in mind. At stock, the fan runs at 90% and temperatures reach 55C. Documentation suggests that this sensor temperature should not be allowed to run for long periods of time above 60C. There seems to be a minimum fan RPM that prevents the fans from going lower regardless of the setting input, and so at ambient temperatures above 30C it is recommended to use the below cooling modification. Remove the heatsink shroud by removing two small screws. You will need a fan controller and 3x120mm PWM controllable fans (http://goo.gl/q6fnYS) per module to do the mod. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5585/14973899992_d5ff777191.jpg (https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5585/14973899992_f2665a5c64_o.jpg) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5595/14971155901_29bf4400b7.jpg (https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5595/14971155901_001dc7ecb2_o.jpg) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5565/14787545770_94b9fe87b1.jpg (https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5565/14787545770_e0c89c7c7e_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3890/14787551190_b939eaa358.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3890/14787551190_b9958625ec_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 3) Case (top) (#post_contents) Individual modules are well protected although the interface PCBs are exposed. The shipped weight of an Avalon 3 is 4.5kg and dimensions of the shipping box are 490 x 180 x 150mm. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3841/14787516109_6ef098477a.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3841/14787516109_c7e03dd89c_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/14787669137_c718b77bab.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3885/14787669137_05ecdf1ebf_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3868/14787527989_5a1fcbb6f7.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3868/14787527989_8058e6926e_o.jpg) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3899/14974230065_95d59a1dd7.jpg (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3899/14974230065_51aca5931f_o.jpg) https://i.imgur.com/AXm1t8k.png 4a) Configuration (TL-WR703N) (top) (#post_contents) The interface board has been updated to allow for up to 4 modules and interface boards to be daisy chained off one USB port.

Judging by this picture there's some kind of standard USB-UART converters, like this one: https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/PL-2303TA-Support-WINDOWS8-PL2303-USB-UART-Board-USB-To-TTL-Module/1897044115.html?spm=a2g0v.search0104.3.244.ZZgx1t&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10065_10151_10068_10344_10345_10342_10343_10340_10341_10307_10301_10060_10155_10154_10056_10055_10054_10538_10537_10059_10536_10535_10534_10533_100031_10099_10338_10103_10102_10169_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10312_10313_10314_10078_10079_10211_10128_10073_10129_10125,searchweb201603_17,ppcSwitch_7&btsid=e93403cc-d032-4a37-9213-24f1dae5a4d9&algo_expid=d30221be-ceda-4555-b6fb-15abd3b5de35-31&algo_pvid=d30221be-ceda-4555-b6fb-15abd3b5de35 (https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/PL-2303TA-Support-WINDOWS8-PL2303-USB-UART-Board-USB-To-TTL-Module/1897044115.html?spm=a2g0v.search0104.3.244.ZZgx1t&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10152_10065_10151_10068_10344_10345_10342_10343_10340_10341_10307_10301_10060_10155_10154_10056_10055_10054_10538_10537_10059_10536_10535_10534_10533_100031_10099_10338_10103_10102_10169_10052_10053_10142_10107_10050_10051_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10312_10313_10314_10078_10079_10211_10128_10073_10129_10125,searchweb201603_17,ppcSwitch_7&btsid=e93403cc-d032-4a37-9213-24f1dae5a4d9&algo_expid=d30221be-ceda-4555-b6fb-15abd3b5de35-31&algo_pvid=d30221be-ceda-4555-b6fb-15abd3b5de35) Does that mean that I can buy any of those converters and they will work with Avalon miners (I mean Avalon A6 here) without any tricks? |
