[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive SpondooliesTech SP10 Setup [HD]

[bobsag3]

I have to ask... maybe someone in the US may know... what does a plug for a 220v in the USA look like?  And where can I buy the associated computer cable?

Since we're in the US, 220v is still probably at 60 Hz.  Will the PSU be able to deal with 220v at 60 Hz, since normally 220v is for countries at 50 Hz?

It is fine. Depending on the wiring you will either be at 208v or 240v. My 240 line is reported as 245-250 in the SP10 interface. For 240v you use a breaker that bridges 2 120v lines for 240v. Nema LP6 is the plug that most PDU's use, that is the type of outlet you will want installed.

Thanks for the info.  I couldn't find NEMA LP6 on Google.  Do you mean NEMA L6-20 or L6-30?

Also, where do I find power cables that has the NEMA L6 end and a standard PC end that goes into the PSU?

I have looked at these and the amp rating is 16AMP. 
How many of the SP10s have you been able to safely run on one of these?

At 16A don't use more than 2.

I'm finding it very involved to install a 240v outlet in my garage.  It might involve digging up my backyard to put in new larger diameter conduit for 8 gauge wires and a sub panel.

I may not have the path to go from SP10 to SP30.

Hey. Thanks for the guides, great work.

Wondering if it is possible to remotely access SP-10 dashboard easily? If not, do you know of a solution to set this up for SP-10 and other miners that is secure? Thank you.

The generic solution is a $150 windows laptop with teamviewer, or a Pi with an external facing address. I'd go with the laptop anyway.

What about oven on beaglebone?
Free for sure
And ovpn on my tablet also so everywhere I go I am able to connect remotely to my home home no matter of ip's
And a ovpn server in between is a must. I guess a cheapest VPS shall do it fine
Besides PC with running team viewer requires power

Dogie where have you been able to pick up longer 14 awg cables for the higher draw miners?
I am not liking 16 awg with the SP10 even though it is fine.  I can only find 3 foot ones on amazon.

I'm pretty sure the cable will be rated to way above the fuse rating, or it will be breaking some safety standard. Ie even those in the UK which are a 6A fuse, that's still 1440W. The 13A ones are hard to find and are ridiculously thick. Is yours getting hot?

[ManeBjorn]

No it gets warm but not hot.
With the SP30 on the way and getting a rack to put my miners in I want to be a bit more proactive about power cables on some of the beasts coming out.

SP30s have 2 PSUs each at about the same power as the SP10 so no different. Most power cables are rated up to 60C as well, which is about the point which they're too hot to touch. This isn't even the failure, its just their rating.

[ManeBjorn]

Quite true.

Does factory reset also delete the history (graphs, etc)?

It reset's it like it was from factory... so your stats yes they should be gone.

I have not tested this as I have not had to, but I cant imagine stats being kept through factory reset.

[TeamNachtschicht]

I have Problems whit one of my SP10.

If the same problem is showing with a replacement power supply, presumably it's not a PSU ... maybe try a SD card recovery:

anyone got any idea?

thanks

[Zekeman]

Could anyone tell me where I can find a cheap replacement power supply.. I found an emerson one what was 1200w is that too powerful for the SP10 or is it ok to use?
