hold on , i suspect some other driver files are missing for the fpga chip. since i always test it on PC with fpga development kit installed. I will upload the file to share drive and share a link with you. sorry for trouble setting it up! i didn't realize would be that hard, will figure out a way to straight out the process
Tip: You should install a fresh copy of windows and start a setup guide from there, noting every thing you install/did to get your board running. It will help a lot of others once they purchase your board. Or else, you will have tons of questions from people.

yes will try to replicate the issue on a "clean" PC tomorrow. hold on , i suspect some other driver files are missing for the fpga chip. since i always test it on PC with fpga development kit installed.

I have more then a dozen mobos I can use a working clone of win on. Does not need to be activated win 10. It also will let me break down. What the exact files to load are. I could build a usb stick. Maybe 8 gb is all that is needed . And load all software to it as a setup package.

ok, let me try something tomorrow. it really shouldn't be that hard.. must be something simple missing. yes will try to replicate the issue on a "clean" PC tomorrow. hold on , i suspect some other driver files are missing for the fpga chip. since i always test it on PC with fpga development kit installed.

I will be busy for the next 8-9 hours.
Op and I have exchange emails and we think we found the missing driver.
If you look at my screenshot above there isn't any port section in the device manager. I hope to square this away by 10 pm east coast time.
Sorry for delay, but I have to do some real world business.
Oh a 12 volt brick was provided and on idle the unit uses 3-4 watts on a kwatt meter.
I have the ability to feed the unit from a modded atx my guess is that will drop power use a lot as bricks suck for efficiency.
So if op is accurate about 25 watts with a brick I should drop that to 21 watts with an atx plat.

driver problem solved? awesome! sorry for the troubleshooting, i typically tested it on a linux machine, which naturally supports this device.. so i thought it would be easier to go with a win10. that brick adapter i sent you definitely is not the power efficient one. i measured the power using a lab DC power supply , which should be fairly accurate, so you may see 28-30W there with that adapter. btw, the cheap fan i glued on the fpga would also draw 1W... for sure you can use PC power supply for better efficiency. fyi, there are molex adapters like in the pic below. one can drive 2 miners no problme. Thanks for the effort! I will be busy for the next 8-9 hours.

ups says it comes on the 23rd. if it does use 25 watts that is only 600 a day. which is only 18 kwatts a month at 10 cents that is 1.80 a month for power
the 1070ti is 150 watts or 21.60 a month for power. at 20 cents.
I pointed 2 1050ti's at nicehash to mine keccak they do 600 mh my rig pulls 188 watts that means about 5 kwatts
at 10 cents = 50 cents on power I earn 15 cents = 35 cents in the hole.
add this 2 fpga watts go to 238 = 6 kwatts maybe 7 hash is 2600 I earn 65 cents with the two gpus and 2 fpgas
I spend about 60 cents so I make a 5 cent profit.
or better yet point them to cn7
the gpus alone use 50 cents power and earn 34 cents mining loss of 16 cents
the 2 fpgas earn 50 cents the 2 gpus earn 34 cents
you spend 60 cents at 10 cent power
you make 24 cents a day.
point the 2 1050tis at eth
the gpus alone use 50 cents earn 49 cents loss of 1 cent
2 fpgas earn 50 cents cost about 10 cents 2 gpus earn 49 cents cost about 50 cents
rig makes 39 cents a day. is it a lot no but a dead rig at 10 cent power becomes an earner.
do I think I want 100 fpgas no but a few yes I do.
So I am will to help out.
Very interesting. It would be also interesting to compare price/profit/powerusage-cost with the bcu1525

Useless thing in terms of ROI. Nowadays is mainly only hardware manufacturers earn money in crypto mining sphere
If mining on these devices was profitable, then you would mine privately yourself using them, instead of trying to find customers who aren't a very familiar with math. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

there are already many people doing that, secretly, believe me, but my purpose is to build an affordable product that everyone has access to. besides, it is quite a hassle to build a farm, i enjoy more building a product. if everyone just keep everything to him/herself (or a small group), what is the whole point of cryptocurrency?

I do not know about roi. But I know one thing drivers are loaded and I should get test done soon now on the low end brick I am mining crea coin pulling 33.6 watts

I am going to make an address for crea and mine to it for 24 hours then try another algo . pm me what algos you have available. this is a new address for crea CUuANV58HNTcjHgu6LhiRSqvt5GTbRTs6Q http://creapool.club/workersthe address can be looked up at link the pool calculator says I would earn about 50 cents a day. this gear on the brick uses 35 watt x 24 hours = 840 or .84 kwatts that is 8.4 cents and you earn 50 cents so you clear 50 -9 = 41 cents that is 145 a year not the best for roi. but not a power hog. I will take photos etc very soon.

great, i will send you some instructions on how to re-program the fpga, hopefully there is no driver issue this time, i want to make sure first. next time we can try XDAG.
