1  Bitcoin / Mining support / Antminer S9 fine control of power / hash rate. Dynamically disconnecting boards on: June 17, 2022, 08:16:05 AM
Hello all,

Is there a way to dynamically tell Antminer s9 to change power consumption (clock rate, hash rate) for example every 30min or an hour so no reboots, just some command to the API, and boom power goes from 1200w down to 400w with hopefully somewhat linear change in hash rate (in this eg. from 12 to 4TH)?
I hope you get the Idea it does not to be perfect obviously there is some power consumption for the control board and efficiency is changing when hash rate and temperatures change etc...

Everything is on the table. Custom binaries, patching firmware, or custom firmware like Braiins os but it would be nice to be FOSS...
Hardware modifications are also possible for me. I was thinking to make some relay/MOSFETs circuits to disconnect hashing board control wires or if needed even power wires.
But I don't know how would Antminer react to that? So in that way I get full power, 2/3 and 1/3 power which is good but even better would be to control it with software so I can have more discrete power steps for eg. 100w steps with let's say min of 300w in steps by 100w up to max.

Thank you so so much to anyone with experience who wants to share some information with me.

Cheers!

P.S. Yes this has to do with changing power produced by solar energy, and trying to get input power from the sun == power used by the miners...
