Check near the bottom of the first post of this thread.  There's a shipping table there. Shipping is separate from price of the items.

Shipping costs are also listed at the bottom of the order page of the website: http://drillbitsystem.com/order.html

If you order through PayPal for batch2, shipping is auto calculated based on your shopping cart and destination for the order.

There was mention of PayPal shipping too for batch 1, any news on that yet? If it is easier I would just assume being invoiced for shipping and then I can pay it via PayPal same day.

Great to see those cooling options If a water cooling version could be done, that would be great also! (more silent)

About assembly, why not doing it together with PCB manufacture in China? Wouldn't that save cost and time?  

I'm scared.   

My mom moved away from her home and rented it to someone else and now I need to shift the delivery address to my apartment....

Crap..

What do I do. 

K1 boards arrived.
I'm working on firmware now but want to get these boards cut up and shipped asap.

You don't have to buy it, you can always go without.

The blank board option as it stands is just the board, and yes it come with a parts list and construction guide. Depending on how things go, we might be able to offer a little packs containing all the parts you will need, but currently you would have to source those yourself. Will keep you updated on whether this is going to be an option.

Small update - my wife is going to Bkk to get the K1 boards this evening. She'll pick them up tomorrow and return the next morning. So I should be shipping a lot of orders Thursday/Friday. I'll process them in order as received assuming I get the firmware tested while she's away. The only nagging problems I'll have still are shortage of SS PICS and K1 heat sink delivery. I had both those worked out weeks ago but both have not arrived as expected. The 268 PICs I had shipped have either got lost or stuck in customs. They could turn up any time or not.

The K1 heat sinks I sampled and ordered back when I put the site up have become unavailable. I've worked on substitutions but so far that's not really coming together. I could get flat aluminium and self-fabricate by cutting and bending. Another possibility is a shorter 24mm x 27mm heat sink I do have available here. Since it's not 32mm long it would need thermal adhesive for attaching rather than screws. So that's a possible backup plan.

I'm open to suggestions on the K1 heat sink. I don't really want to give up on them as it's bound to be harder for individuals to dig up something suitable. Places contacted in China via Alibaba haven't been useful either as they've required minimum 1 ton purchases - well beyond what is feasible here.

Yes we're looking into providing cooling as an optional extra, either in the form of a heatsink or a case with fans built in. See where we get to on this. Priority first is to get the boards happening, and then we'll look at the other bits and pieces.

Regarding clearing all the chips, i have asnswered this one a few times now, though i know the thread is a bit long and tedious to read through. I'm gonna build an FAQ section on the front page to deal with things like this. So the answer is, if there are few enough chips left that we can afford to buy the rest out once october rolls around, then we will. My rough guess was 500. Lets see how we're looking as we get closer.

Yes i agree. Thats exactly what moved us into the Bitfury stuff in the first place. Originally we were going to do an Avalon based board, but still now months later, don't have any chips.

And cheers for posting it to overclockers. Spread the love!

Hey. It's working fine on my end. What is the trouble you're having? Maybe try a different browser?

I didn't notice that earlier post about using the F version, and sorry I didn't comment on it.

You cannot currently use the F series on Klondike boards. Even though they are very similar and do everything the same they cannot run USB on 3.3V power reliably due to having an internal LDO regulator for USB. I have been checking with Microchip on ways to bypass that but so far they have not given me reason to believe it can work.

This means it will work ok if being chained but when using USB it may not play nice. The info I have from Microchip is that the LDO will operate in drop-out mode and provide lower than 3.3V to the USB circuit. The circuit can work that way but it's signalling levels will be below USB standards and may not work reliably in some cases. You cannot run it at 5V on the K boards because the other chips and ASICs require 3.3V.

I am still in discussion with a Microchip engineer about this subject but my last info is not promising.

as mentioned, the PIC16LF1459-E/SS is a perfectly acceptable cross.  So are the PIC16F1459-E/SS and PIC16F1459-I/SS.

The only difference is that the LF can run to a slightly lower voltage (1.8 vs 2.3) - I don't believe BKK's design runs the PIC that low though, so the F is fine.
