Discontinued: Lancelot (Heavy Duty 400 Mega hashes, 2 x FPGA Mining Board)

[Schrankwand]

Block Eruptor USB or Blades are a better deal than this.

Lets do some math.

Block Eruptor USB: 2BTC minimum
Blades : 50BTC

Lancelot, lets say 300$ on average. Gox say 127$, so 2,38BTC. The group price at the moment is 269, so 2,1BTC

Block Eruptor USB: 300MH/s --> 150mh/s per BTC
Blades: 10gh/s --> 200mh/s per BTC

Lancelot --> 169mh/s.


Blades are a better deal, Block eruptors probably not. And I doubt we are counting electricity in an ASICs vs. FPGA fight now, are we?

Oh, and in group manufacturing? 399/2,1 --> 191mh/s per BTC. Clear winner Lancelot.

Probably cheaper to buy new ones. Can someone find a good replacement on eBay?

Depends what the original CFM of the old fans was. I quite like the Arctic Cooling F range. F8 is 8cm, F12 is 12cm etc. They don't push loads of air though. Scythe make some of the highest performance pc fans but they can be very noisy.

Damn I wish these two reported temperature.

[setkeh]

i thought i read some where that they could report temps

Though correct me if im wrong

and if they can im sure if a couple of us donated to kano and ckolivas they would probably modify cgminer to accomodate the temp recording function.

I'll do it for free - coz I have one
Just I don't think they do and haven't seen it documented anywhere.

Thats Great Bud

I Found where i read it XD
it in the user manual in BlackArrows first post in the other features bit

Code:

Board temperature monitoring.
PWM fan control and speed monitoring.
standard 6 or 9CM low speed(1200RPM) fan.
FPGA core temperature.

Im not sure if it means we can get temp monitoring or even fan control but i hope we can

[bitpop]

I dint think temperature is available outside the controller. And there's no pwm from my experience.

Ahh im not sure
1. I haven't got my devices yet
2. like kano said there is not allot of documentation on it.

That was the best i found in the User Guide

Lol wanna scam much XD

i Love the massive discount at 600$ XD

[jayeeyee]

Does anyone know if Blackarrow gauged enough interest to get this group manufacturing started?

[bitpop]

I hate how newbies are preyed upon.

Yeah it really sucks and it also make the rest of us look like a bunch of dicks

That would be the hardware, it would require an MCU update to access and report that information (if it is possible)

This just hit me.  Is the shipping quote (regardless if its $70 or not) for each board?  Placed an order for 20 units.. I wonder if I just dug myself a DHL grave.

[bitpop]

No total shipping

Is here way how run Lancelot on Mac? still have error with bad command. With gpu work fine, but i dnt know right command

Drivier is ok i think

FT232R USB UART:

  ID produktu:   0x6001
  ID dodavatele:   0x0403  (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
  Verze:    6.00
  Sériové číslo:   A602IF7O
  Rychlost:   Až 12 Mb/s
  Výrobce:   FTDI
  ID umístění:   0xfa130000 / 6
  Dostupný proud (mA):   500
  Požadovaný proud (mA):   90

[setkeh]

Well Mac is almost identical to linux so there shouldent be much difference except maybe the location of the USB device but as always i could be wrong

[iamthekey]

idk how specify usb device in Mac OS /dev/0xfa130000 / 6 fail, linux command tty too fail, maybe cant run it. Still dreaming how Lancelot running in my command center have here only iMacs.

As mentioned, the next version will just find them for you.
However, there is a compile error (regarding device locking) on the Mac that I've never had anyone (programmer) hang around in IRC to sort it out.
