I'm electronic designer, just found a new Christmas time project !
Hi! I'm an electronics designer too, also MCU programmer. Just registered. It seems the right kind of project for me. I think I could improve some of the designs published here on the forum somewhat. However, it doesn't seem that there is time for that, given that the output of Bitcoin miners decreases dramatically with time. While you'll be designing and prototyping one project, there will be new ASICs around that supersede the existing ones.
So I'd like to start with building a small batch of an existing open-source project as quickly as possible, with no to minimal modifications, to reduce risk. Then, if time permits, I could try to improve it or design my own.
See you around!
