62  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: >>10 port powered USB 2.0 hub $14.99 + A Very good selection of USB Hubs for BTC on: October 09, 2013, 10:33:15 AM
As it happens I have the same hub, I removed the power supply from its cable and soldered in a molex to ground and +5v. No issues plugging the molex into my machines PSU and the hub into the PC. I can run 10 BE's for an hour or so but then they'll drop out.

Next up I'll try mijanur's suggestion to solder cable to the +5v line, but I don't understand the need to solder the ground and scrub the connection. Is this to stop power from the +5v line going back through the PC's USB port? Wouldn't I have seen the result of this after it being plugged in for days? Also, wouldn't this mean without any mods, the power from the external power supply would be going back through the computers USB port?



Yes thats right, its to prevent feeback. close the loop
HUB will not power on its own after this.

You have to solder a wire to red circles (on the photos) that would be +5V, and another one GND(0) to the black ones (either will work)
As You can see there is no diode Y4 preventing power to go back to PC, and the circuit connecting it is solid, You will have to scrub this thin CU layer in brown line, after You do that check with multimeter if there is any connection left.


So connect all the +5v with a wire and do the same on the ground side?


not both, one or the other.

The pcb on these boards are too thin..

heres what i have been advised by a member here "solidbitshop"

You have to make some soldering.
The 5V line on PCB is too thin and only on one side. It will lead to massive heat on the PCB it will burn or melt causing massive surcharges, and many other bad things.

PS> I suggest desoldering the power connector from PCB you will have room for a wire and can close it in case. Tear one of the plastic thingy that go trough hole on PCB and that way you will have a hole to put wire trought.

You have to solder a wire to red circles (on the photos) that would be +5V, and another one GND(0) to the black ones (either will work)
As You can see there is no diode Y4 preventing power to go back to PC, and the circuit connecting it is solid, You will have to scrub this thin CU layer in brown line, after You do that check with multimeter if there is any connection left.

Once You solder the wire, put a mulimeter (current meter) in it and check what is the current of powered device. If its no more than 500mA - 1A you are good to go. Plug in some Erupters and check the current with all 10. It should be arround 6A of current when plugged 10 devices.

Leave it for some time to see if everything is ok, take out multimeter from it and connect it direclty to PSU.

Now check the Voltage on USB port. Its better to do when you connect all 30 of them.
Connect them to PSU turn them on, now put one prope to a +5V on the errupter USB the other one to its cover.
If its more than 4.5 You are good to go, if no adjust PSU to more than 5 V (5.5V is max I think on the PSU) so the eruptors are close to 5V.




these psu should replace those excess plugs

V2 asic blade's Backplanes

The HP DPS 800GBA or ATSN 7001044-Y000  psu are too noisy, quite custom desktop PC PSU can be used but im wondering can the psu be connected to the backplane instead of individual blades?



where the psu plugs in if you look on left and right there is those inserts..


Left side is 12v+ and other is ground..
so does this mean you connect 12v+ wires on left and ground wire on the right side?

Would a 1000watt quite pc psu be enough power to power all 10 blades?

This massive jump to 149M difficulty...is deeply worrying.

Any updates on the Cgminer compatibility?

When is the next Group buy going to start?

I can verify that we are working with OutCast3k as a distributor of our products

Do it, he's been perfect with every group buy i've been in and has lightning fast shipping when he gets the stuff to send.

Time to promote this guy from GB organiser to Distributor.

Plus it would be nice to have a supplier of something bitcoin related in the UK, rather than ordering from the other side of the world Tongue.

any backplane that can be purchased on their own from previous group buys or left overs?


No. Only if you buy 6-9 at the same time I will sell one backplane at 0.25 BTC. If you buy 10 Blades at once, you get the backplane for free.

Could you do this deal for united kingdom??

so if it needs a stratum proxy doesnt that mean you need to run it with a hostcomputer??
or does it mean once you set it up you can shutdown your computer?

my order 27th August order still with uk customs...LOL Huh Huh Huh Roll Eyes phoned them they said it could take a further ten to twelve working days.

Defied the point of express delivery. apparently UK observes Labo(u)r day too.....cough..kissass.
This is depending who your dispatch company is.

Let me point out that this is out of "SSINC's" control and he has excellent communications and a respected member here.
He sent it out on 27 and arrived in UK in 24hours.

Hi just wondering if you could give prices to deliver with FEDEX or DHL?

USPS shipping is good but doesn't get through customs fast enough in UK..so express shipping is pointless.

Fedex and DHL fasttrack through UK customs and bill you later if there is any customs to pay.

as my 20 units has been sitting in UK customs since August 29....

buying/printing shipping labels can be a pain. so was wondering if you could look into that? and price it for us
for all united Kingdom customers.

Regards

Mitch
