As soon as i can get an UART => USB cp2102, i will try it. I found some cheap on ebay but with like 2 weeks of shipment delay ...
Still looking for a local pickup somewhere at a reasonable price.
Found some in the US, gotta wait a week, 5 for 19$  not bad ! |

Thanks !
I will try to get one at least to test my boards !
pekatete , it would be great if you could share me your cgminer !
I was able to compile cgminer 4.7.0 for and under windows using MinGW but not able to run it without significant errors (and at times it would not detect the board!). It therefore is not a binary that would be useful for sharing, and seeing the pre-compiled version 3.8.5 for windows reconises both the CP210x (as AMU / LIX / etc) and the PL230x (as ICA and ... ?), you would be better off getting that one, available here: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/cgminer/cgminer-run-windows-20131224.zip?raw=truePS. You may need to change over the TX / RX connectors on some of the modules as the lines can be twisted! but, on the other hand we might be able to verify either: 1. problem with source 2. problem with windows 3. problem with specific setup so it might be a good idea to get them tested on another windows machine.. just my 2 cents :-p The source is the same source as that is available on github for version 4.7.0 so anyone an get that. The changes to source that I documented earlier in this thread are deprecated since I abandoned the --include-icarus flag, however, should anyone wnt to include the icarus driver, then the error messages from the compiler are quite instructive. Also, compiling is quite easy, you just need to install MinGW (which is also free and opensource!). It can be tedious to setup MinGW but not impossible. However, if even after that someone still wants to get a hold of the binary I compiled and / or the code i used to compile it, just point me to where you'd like me to upload it and its yours! PS. I did mention earlier in the thread that I was working on something else, more specifically a windows driver. I can update the thread to the effect that I have actually gone to ground to write a windows miner that uses COM ports. I am working on the initialisation of the S1 board and work division in the code, and when I have some extra time off, I'll be looking to finishing it off and showcasing it! For me, that represented a better alternative than trying to wrestle the generic cgminer code targeting multiple rigs and written in a foreign language (C++!) allright thanks, i will try to compile mine  I will take ChaosItec git cgminer code and give it a try with MinGW. compiled windows version: <snip> download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6o5o9jvvwc1hjs/cgminer.zip?dl=0remember to install zadig drivers: http://zadig.akeo.ie/thanks you so much !  the problem in windows is a driver issue.. im no windows guru, im mostly a linux guy, so your on your own on that part Looks all good on your screenshot ? |

I guess i will try to get some UART => USB adapter (that is the CP2102 right ?) since we still a few weeks away from the controller.
EDIT: Any chance to get your cgiminer compiled for windows ? I also have a bfgminer running for an old BFL unit. I guess it can't work with both running at the same time ?
pekatete has it compiled, maybe he can post a link? you can keep BFL running with bfgminer, and start an instance with cgminer, no problem yes, its the cp210x series we are using, ive looked around, and cound not find any cp2104 or 8s within a decent pricerange, so it is cheaper to just buy the cp2102s until j4bber is done with the 8 port version... i will see if i can squeeze a little extra out of the proto when it arrives Thanks ! I will try to get one at least to test my boards ! pekatete , it would be great if you could share me your cgminer ! |

I'm about to buy the cables for the boards. Quick nooob question is how we chain the board with the cables ? I need a 4 connectors Cables ? ( 2 cable for the six blades the controller supports)
||===||===||===|| all females ?
thanks
you cannot chain them you need to use 1 cable per controller (or when j4bber is done, per connector on controller board) unless j4bberwock makes the connector on the controller with more tx/rx lines then you could do an octopus type ... I see, I just though j4bber's prototype was supporting 6 board and i was only seeing 2 connectors. thanks ;-) this prototype only supports 2, and also has 2 connectors :-p he is building one which can do 8 :-) cooool thanks |

Most likely liquid cooled again, looks like liquid bubbles behind the S5 lettering. It looks like a galaxy photo to me, not bubbles. Maybe it runs so hot that it needs to be in the vacuum of space where it can't burst into flames. LOOOL !! |

I have four boards (boards only) from the late 2013 batch. (will check the version at home) I will modify them with 10K adjustable Pot, this week. Should be able to test many Volt/Clock settings once i can connect them to my PC. (I don't have any CP2102 interface). I will stack them as ChoasiTec did. great idea !  Once i have a stable setup, i will change my last 4 blades (which are full S1 miner atm). Can't wait for the control board ! |

yessss nice green block with my name on it !!!!  congrats ! I'm still waiting for that moment of glory (not sure it will happen with my hashrate tho ) |

I am in need of 52 coupons any you send are a big help, thanks!
Bitmain ID: agentcash
just sent all my 8 coupons |

There's really no other pool I trust.. Period.
Time for p2pool.
You can trust Bitminter ! The pool admin is A1 |

I got 8 coupons too, I can give them too |

I'll try it again with my board instead of the cheap CP2102 from china. BTW, after reflowing, both CP2102 are detected correctly. I'll solder a second one tomorrow and test the chaining before sending them to CHAOSITEC and pekatete. I'll have a few spare boards I can sell for the price of the parts + shipping, if someone is interested. I ordered 10 PCB, and I currently have the components to make at least 6 boards. I want one ! |

Nice ! Can't wait to get one to play with |
