Re: [ANN] Technobit HEX16A2 - 24 Ghs - 50 EUR 48 h shippment

[iFA88]

I use the normal clock and volt, but they still doubling.. This should not ben happen.. and not spoken from the hash performance..
Any ideas?
I have a GigaByte Odin plus 700W Power supply: GE-G700-C1
They come with two cable of molex:
#1 cable, there are 3 molex connectors and i use only 2 from it
#2 cable, there are 1 molex connectors and i use this.
11.68 volt is end of the cable.

what is your hub?
Make sure you power everything usb hub boards + pi from a SINGLE power supply - The goal is to HAVE COMMON GROUND from PSU only
Once again if you are in Germany use this pls
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00602C91U/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item
I will say a crapy hub
there is internal buffer 64 nonces so basically you are reading same result twice with big delay. Each nonce is checked against it and if dupe - which happens is not sent to the pool
OFF boards (appearing and disappearing) is not a good sign or 12V problem or USB issues
Fanaly you can cut red wire - PI to HUB cable - strip usb cable and cut red wire to avoid overfeeding pi USB port

my hub is:
http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?artnr=15140
I power the RPI with microUSB with seperated adapter. But without this work too, because the USB hub power back to the RPI.
On the USB hub seems all correct.
The pool has rejected the duplicated job, so they send it to the pool.

On low clock its the same error.

and pls post top output so we can see cpu usage
So without external pi power? only usb to the hub? With wifi disabled? and only one,two,three boards? you have three boards and one of them is connecting/disconnecting?

Same as above dude do as i suggest
lsusb sorry i missed it
common ground for everything
cut red wire of usb data cable
change hub

Something is not right in your setup

and pls post top output so we can see cpu usage
So without external pi power? only usb to the hub? With wifi disabled?

So, u say i should remove the powering from USB hub to the boards?
I cannot set common ground for all, or what you mean with this?

As far as i understand pi can be powerd from usb only is that right? And work without external adapter
If yes
then 1. If your hub is powered one power it from PSU 5v then PI shall get power from HUB
2. If hub is not powered one cut usb cable Pi to Hub and feed red wire with 5V from PSU
OK?
And disable WiFi better to remove the card if it is not built in
 

If pi needs external adapter just take 12V or 5V or whatever it needs from psu. Find a power jack and wire it accourdingly
In that case cut red - usb cable from pi to hub to avoid overfeeding
And finally there is always a chance a board to be faulty try all three one by one to see if there are disconnects

The RPI can power through miniUSB and normal USB too.
This is a Model A, i have only one USB port and i dont have ethernet.. i need the wifi.
The HUB is powered from the RPI AND from the hex16a2 boards. From the Hex16a2 miniUSB connector i can have 5v.
The RPI is powered from a seperate ~1A 5v power supply AND from the USB hub.

Ok start with removing separate ~1A 5v power supply that shall do the trick with common ground
If hub is crappy and Pi needs more power just gently cut usb Pi cable cut red wire +5V and spike it with Molex red from PSu or whatever you find is convenient for you
Are you in Germany?
PS: I am going dude see you later do not forget to test your boards one buy one first to see if all three are OK

Okay but i go too now. I dont do now nothing just run it. I think the PSU would the problem. Tomorrow arrives a better PSU to me.
Im from Hungary, but i speak good German too.
Thanks for help:)

First autogen.sh dude instead of configure then make the. BFL and avalon will not work anyway so you can skip them and you can build 3.10 patch is available in technobit site

ZCVYIHWDO    2013-12-04  still pending any news on that ??

Hi Braindead, if Jeffrey waits for an order made on 2013-11-28, I'm not too surprised yours isn't sent yet.
BTW, waiting for 4 boards too, order paid on 2013-12-01, I'll post here when they'll be sent, so people can estimate when they can expect their orders.
advertised 4 weeks delay is over, too bad.
But remember that as always, crypto is a gamble.

order shipped yesterday.

Hi, for those of you who haven't received their orders, here is the detail of my order:
2013-12-01 -> order paid
2014-01-10 -> order shipped
2014-01-16 -> order received at home (France). BTW, Speedy doesn't deserve its name 

If orders are processed according to order date, you can estimate when yours wil be at home.

Marto, a different order labelling will help at least in communication.
You will be able to post fast and reliable status update of orders, something like this:
HEX16B-0000001 to HEX16B-0000256 Shipped today
HEX16A-0000001 to HEX16A-0000025 Going through testing
HEX16C-000001 to HEX16C-0000054 In assembly process

Note the bold "c" that will help you avoid confusion during shipping and inventory between the 2 generations of Avalon boards (Yes, I received a Gen 1 miner instead of a Gen 2 miner).

These a simple ideas, but they should help you a little.

Just as a sidenote, I'm employed on process improvement (Kaizen, Lean manufacturing) in aerospace, and some little tricks like the ones I gave here can really improve reliability and productivity at almost no cost. It works in bigger companies, but from my experience, it works even better on small ones.

Are you sure that the patch work??? There must be a error message appear when run the patch.
There is no hex16 added in your summary. You must be use wrong patch for wrong cgminer version

For cgminer 3.8.5 afe7710858e4ce28bb60f6ae6e167a18d687634f.patch

I use the normal clock and volt, but they still doubling.. This should not ben happen.. and not spoken from the hash performance..
Any ideas?
I have a GigaByte Odin plus 700W Power supply: GE-G700-C1
They come with two cable of molex:
#1 cable, there are 3 molex connectors and i use only 2 from it
#2 cable, there are 1 molex connectors and i use this.
11.68 volt is end of the cable.

How about increase your worker difficulty to 64.

And your PSU, http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_odin_plus_700w_psu_review,2.html said that your PSU is four rail.
Each rail can supply 19A(HEX16C use 9A). This mean maximum 2 board, but personally i won't let the regulator run 24H on 90% load. I am more prefer to spread the load on four rail.

11.68 V is very bad you know, maybe the regulator already overloaded.

For best efficiency, it's best to choose single rail PSU.

Hey!
Yes u have right, the current PSU have 4 rail from 12 volt, and every rail can handle 19A. Why do u think that they can only maximum 2 board handle?
Today arrives the nwe PSU what i ordered.
There is:
Cooler Master GX 750W RS-750-ACAA-E3
http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/cases/psu-550w-850w/p19.jpg
One rail 60Amper. I would cut all other cables from it, and make for every board separated cable with molex. I hope thats help with.
The current USB HUB (xtrust) is today died. I have now a old HUB with 4 ports (Koenig USB HUB, its active, but i dont plugged in the power) . Its seems be good, with the Gigabyte PSU make power for 3 boards, and the boards is connected now to the 4 port usb hub.
Now work es nice, here is a screenshot:

one rail is 19A, so only 2 board(2 X 9= 18A) per rail.
Read carefully what i post there, i am talking about per rail not all PSU.

That is why i am making my molexes by hand 2 mm wire crimp+soldered pins   And i am making sure that from PSU site i have at least 2mm wires yellow + 2mm blacks

Apart of the jokes no serious

Lack of steady 12V to the board explains why it was disappearing BUT there is a bug which submits dup shares which is fixed and under testing. So watch technobit site for updates dup shares were caused because of voltage problems
