what is the thread size on the screws? I am thinking about some things but don't have access to a USB erupter right now.

As I stated before a tutorial on how to upgrade your erupters to 447 Mh/s be advised this is my first tutorial. and I want to thank all the hard work that went into me being able to complete this by everybody here. please send all feedback as a pm as if you find something totally fucked up about my tut I can correct it and reupload a better version. I hope this helps noobs like me do this mod and best of luck mining.

Your links to the tools don't work. might want to consider fixing that

Can somebody tell me what types of resistors these are?  What keywords and descriptions to look for?

I'm using 1.5K (in an 0805 package) as R1, and the 16Mhz crystals are from a chinese eBay seller.  I've got some 16Mhz, 20Mhz & 24Mhz crystals coming from Digikey and will replace the current crystals shortly and post the results.  I'm looking to get the same speed Bluestreak66 has reported with a 16Mhz crystal.

Be aware that not all resistor are created equal most are 5% and good ones are 1% but some off ebay can be factory seconds and be off by 10% or more. If your getting them off ebay check the resistance before soldering them to confirm it's correct. Here are the ones that I've been using http://tinyurl.com/lzpfjbr

Is there a specific one you are using in that list?

Looking for two recommendations

Link to suitable resistors that isn't coming from china. preferably something in the usa
for use with the 16mhz crystal

recommendation on a decent hot air station.

Thanks

Did anyone get this working on Cubieboard or Cubieboard2?  I read someone was testing it out, but they've been rather quiet.

that would be me. I have both boards, but keep getting side tracked. I have everything up and running, but haven't stopped my pi from mining to take a usb erupter away from that to test with.

It would be interesting to know if cubies are as picky as raspis when it comes to usb hubs for example... but yeah, it's understandable that you don't want to make everything stop just to test.


I only have two hubs, both of which work with keyboards attached. The 7 port Dlink that a lot of people use, and I have a usb 3.0 hub that works also.

will be testing on the cubieboard2 here in a couple hours!

Downloading now!

I think I am almost done getting minepeon running on the cubieboard 2. Working on an authentication issue with the web interface. I hope to have it worked out tonight.

trial number one failed! forgot about the /boot partition.

The postal service was good to me yesterday. I now have 2 pi, and 2 cubieboard2 to play with. I also ordered a cubieboard but that didn't arrive. Anyways I will be playing with minepeon on the cubieboard2 today and hopefully have some results to share with y'all.

This SO work on Cubieboard too? Smiley

I am working on getting it functioning with the cubieboard2.

Or maybe this one if it provided enough oomf...
http://www.ipadcarts.com/solutions/DS-IP-SC-49.htm




All of them are pretty pricey though.  Probably better off with multiple Anker USB3 hubs.

That's the 2nd Gen unit of my setup pictured above.  It does have enough oomph if you "upgrade" the power supply to something with 35A+ on the 5v.  I swapped in an ancient antec on mine.

Their pricing is atrocious.  Nothing like fleecing schools.

Has anybody considered trying to contact ipadcarts for a group buy?

Where can I buy assembled Adafruit 16x2 LCD display? Thank you.

Drop me a line if you're still looking. I'm selling assembled and tested ones for $45 shipped.

I would be interested in one as I don't have the time to assemble it myself.

I currently have .1 in my wallet. I have purchased some btc but they will not be in my wallet until next week. I ordered some usb block erupters and some other gear to start a righ. As soon as I have enough in my wallet I am gonna make a large purchase of erupters to further enhance my planned mining rig.
