1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Klondike] Case design thread for K16 on: June 18, 2013, 05:55:19 PM

Thanks Cheesy , but unfortunately I have Solidworks 2012 SP03, and I canīt open the file, it says it is a "future version", I donīt know how to deal with this.
If you either donīt know can you tell me all the measures or upload a picture of all the measures and the PCB. I got the board 100x100x1.6 but I donīt have a measures of the holes and chips etc(it is enough with the holes but it could be good the have the other components too)


Try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/11eznnw47fyk5wt/K16-PCB-bare.STEP

Open it as a STEP file, and it should import fine.
Thanks you very very much, everything works fine, now i can start with the case

Need some help, When i downloaded the files from https://github.com/bkkcoins/klondike i converted the KiCad file to vrml and later to sldprt(Solidworks part) and that looks like this http://imgur.com/Fg3O9kn which look good but there is two problems, the file is close to 100MB which is very large for a CAD file and it is laggy to work with it, and i canīt edit it or measure it.
From the pictures Iīve seen in this thread it has been very few of the components on the PCB, where did you get these "more simple" files, could someone send it to me(i would prefer a sldprt file) or give me the measure of the PCB on some of the components.

PCB card, 100mmx100mm height=?
Diameter of holes and how far the holes is from the edge of PCB?
The length,height,width and position of the rest of components(chips etc)

Another question, How do i connect/power the Klondike to a computer, could it be USB, and which software does it use(is it just plug it in and mine or do I need to configure something?)



VMRL import in SolidWorks is okay for basic components, but doesn't manage complex assemblies well. You may have better luck with the scanto3D plugin (which is what I used). You'll need a ton of RAM to import the full K16 model, I think I topped off at ~6GB.

Here's a link to the sldprt file of the bare board with no components:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ks2hh709gpppx5d/K16-PCB-bare.SLDPRT

I believe the part is actually 1.6mm, rather than 2mm as marto stated - at least as per the VRML file that Bkk provided. It makes little difference either way.

Donīt buy a rig for bitcoin mining, but you could mine litecoins with a good gaming rig (7950, 7970) since soon the difficulty of bitcoin mining will skyrocket and GPU mining wil be dead(in SHA-256 mining)
You could buy a BFL miner but the delivery will take forever, you could use https://www.cloudhashing.com/ , or go with a group buy of avalon chips and let someone assembly a klondike k-16 for you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200067.0;topicseen (european group buy)

Of course you can mine with your gaming computer BUT..
it has a nvidia card which is very ineffient to mine but if you have free electrity if you dont, dont mine with 680.

you can buy btc:s form https://mtgox.com/ or https://btc-e.com/ . Use a bank account to buy it, it is quite difficult to buy them with cash

The internet connection doesnīt matter at all.

Donīt mine with servers, the options is Amd Gpu which will soon be inefficient, the best way to mine is to use an asic, google it if you donīt know what it is. The different asics is for butteflylabs and avalon, the cheapest is 279$ with a hashrate of 5000MH/s . But it will take very long time to get the asics.
But if you still want to use GPU use a 7950 or 7970(if you can get 5750 is pretty good for its price) and start mining Litecoins, or some other scrypt based currency
