Hi, I have several programmable ASICS I want to turn into miners but I don’t know how to build them out.
Are there any instructions and how to actually use these ascis? Like put them on a board of some kind and power them?

"Programmable" "Application-Specific Integrated Circuit" is a bit of a contradiction. Do you perhaps mean FPGA?

Yes I am new to this, but that is the category they fall into.

FPGAs were used in Bitcoin mining back around 2012 and early 2013. You might find some open-source projects if you search around. There's some active development for altcoins on other algorithms I would bet, but you won't find info on those in the Bitcoin hardware forum - gonna have to check Altcoins to learn much of use.
