These days folk might use something like a TL866II+ for most micro controller variants to meet those same use cases. That is a a creative use of screw terminals for rewiring as needed, though.
Data sheets for programmable components provide the information necessary to build an interface to communicate with a given component.
By the way, cloth electrical tape will likely hold up better long term than electrical tape for the use case in your images.
I encourage you to take your knowledge and do something positive with it.

I like this one because the software to compile the code it just like visual basic or visual studio. Very simple to write. I have made my money on electronics I have been writing different code since I was 10yrs old. My father was an engineer for cray research so I had a great teacher. I stopped playing with the stuff about 8 yrs ago because I got burnt out after 40+yrs of it. So it is not that I don't know what I am doing it is things have changed some and it takes a bit to get back into the groove of the newer technology. I may continue or I may stop next week it all depends on if I need it or not whether I mess with it. Even if it is a static voltage increase globally. I have static raised the voltage to 950mw on 1 fullsize and it increased that hash rate by about 1k/sol. It has been running about 1 week but the temps rose more then I want them to with the little increase in voltage. This week I am going to look it over some more. If by "static raised the voltage to 950mw" you mean that you added voltage from an external device on the ASIC side of the VRM, I would not expect that to do anything other than add heat, as you apparently observed. You will also have to at least modify the IO drive; I'm sure from your experience working with microcontrollers you are aware of IO drive. Did you mean 950mV instead of 950mW? |

join the equihash discord ... it's in my signature - folk there are inclined to have current pricing information.

LOL....That's your next update...to disable the fan at startup. I see you have put your priority on the fan and not voltage. What a slap in the face to your customers who have been waiting for a voltage fix or other performance improvements. They might as well use the dev free version I posted of yours or unlocked factory files, at least they aren't paying 3% for the fan to not spin at bootup.
... and now I have the 3 serial buses and commands mapped out, and can talk to each without using cgminer. Which means I can fully initialize a board and the ASICs, without using cgminer. See, one must crawl before they walk. Throw more poo, dude. -j |

*yawn* -- fan control has effectively been resolved now. I've got a stand alone test driver that can control the fans with and without cgminer running... I'll integrate it into the firmware as I can make the time over the next few days.
initially I'll just disable the annoying start up maximum, and after that add in some temp/fan curve control.
Z11 will be standalone from the Z9 and Z9mini in terms of firmware for a few reasons... but will be available near the hardware release. There are a number of tricksy limits put into place that I can bypass now... I don't know if the hardware has more in it, but if it does, you'll be able to maximize your system with the release.
more later.

#xnsub support in firmware?
Yes, however the implementation is not correct. As such I do not have a fix for nicehash at this point. -j |

Never claim it to be mine I only take credit for disabling the dev fee. As far as the electric project in a short time you will and others will see how you can reduce the power cost not for free like you keep saying. I never claimed free power only a way to reduce it. Portable systems will be available on Amazon and Ebay by late summer. Some of the parts are in production status for the system I designed. So for now believe in what you want. It works and will save money I have customers using systems like this for other things and have been using them for a few yrs now. Some units produce power for free if you have a lake or free water supply.
Quoted for posterity. I wouldn't want you editing this gem of a post you've made. -j |

I posted the version of mine you claim as yours for you. Don't forget to hit /r/BITMAIN, /r/ZecMiners, /r/ZEC, zcashcommunity, and some others. Good luck! -j |

what Jason you can talk shit then when your told fu ya want to play god. I was offering help to someone and you have to be a asshole with your comments. Shows again that you think your god and when someone says something you act like a jerk. I hope your sales drop more as people see the real you. I was being nice and never even mentioned on discord that the user can get a dev free version but since your such a jerk I am going to spread the word all over the internet a dev free version is available. All you are doing is leading people on at this point you said a voltage fix was coming back in December, you had a few bugs to work out and it has been 4 months with nothing new. Your next hope is the Z11 which no one may need your clocking or voltage fix for. You must not have a life at all because you are on here or discord almost 24hrs a day trying to help so you can push your firmware.
Thank you for your feedback. Jason |

How much was the z9 from bitmain, I remember ordering one then getting hit with the tariff, lol.
It was $2k batch 1, $850 batch 2. But $650 if you scoop up $250 coupons for $50. For mini... not for Z9. Batch1 Z9 was 3,442.64 shipped for me per unit before import tariffs of 26.5%. -j |

first batch right at 3300 before the tariffs, first batch, with PSUs. Ugh. -j |

You need an hdmi emulator.

Updated with directions for use on the Z9 Minis
Lol, so yoUr new instructions are exactly what I said would happen. You are missing at least two things. First, you are really just running the Z9 image and the extra starting time is due to the failure loop not being able to initialize all of the ASICs since they physically don’t exist (chip coins is wrong.. lol). Second in that scenario even though it will eventually “give up” and start anyway, it will also “give up” and stop again in the future. Go read the cgminer source to figure out why.. that part is in the stock code at least. Ah, the third thing is you have missed redirecting two other dev pools embedded in that image. So you probably should find those before advertising this out to folk. But hey, if that is how you want the community to remember your fourth release, all good. Lastly, I owe documentation to google legal. Thank you for reminding me. -j |

Going forward, all licenses will be available at 25% off. PM me for details.

hello oc's exists a firmware with a adjustable fan curve? I have rebuilt my z9mini on water cooling and would like to adjust the fan speed.  The temperature is good and I want more silence now   regards Jens No, unfortunately not. -j |

THX, Everything turned out as you said. Awesome, I'm glad this worked out. I went ahead and created two boot images, one for the mini and one for the large which can be used to install Fuddware 2.1d in the future -- skipping the V9->upgrade step. It's now posted at https://releases.broked.net and can be used in place of the V9/Z9/Z9miniv2 images listed at bitmain's website. -j |
