Canaan Avalon mini 3, nano 3S & avalon Q [unofficial thread]

[ciccio80]

Hello, anyone know how can I check temperature of Avalon Nano 3S? From application or web dashboard I cannot find this information

Also, it's possible to have a more "nerd" and "technical" web dashboard? The actual one is very basic

Thanks, Marco

Has anyone successfully repaired themselves, or got a warranty repair for their 3s experiencing the 4R7 Inductor Detachment issue? Pretty sure it's what I'm dealing with based on their documentation.

the firmware for the avalon nano 3s has now been released and is now open-source
now everyone who owns a nano 3s and has the time/desire to tinker and build can get to work

After using the Avalon Mini 3 for a really long time, I gotta say that only thing that really annoyed me was the rattle noise caused by loosely attached fan exhaust grille. I've seen also many other people reporting it, so I suppose it is a type error. During my long term use it just kept escalating and I finally just could not stand the fuckin' rattle noise.

So my solution was a quick fix by focusing on the position where my grille was flapping the most and adding white glue (PVA glue) there.
It is eco friendly and non-toxic glue type, so I should be fine in regard of my house air quality. Of course the exhaust air is quite warm and white glue tends to melt in hot temp, but so far my fix has stayed in place perfectly.

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering if anyone tried to insert an extra, more dense heat resistant filter under the default inlet filter of their Avalon mini 3?
I just noticed quite extensive dust accumulation within the unit and I am afraid that even if I clean it regularly it might catch fire

I thought about using something like this:

Thanks for any input.

Best practice IMO is just to clean the original filter very regularly and thorough (I clean it in my kitchen sink with water, and let it dry before I put it back).

your listing is for a merv 13

i do not know if the oem filter is merv 8

but lets say it is.

merv 8 means good air flow

merv 13 means restricted air flow

soooooo that new filter may stop dust better, but at the expense of cooling.

and heat breaks gear more then dust does.

To put your problem very briefly, the denser the filter, the worse the cooling. If you have pets, you'll need to clean the filter more often. I haven't seen any reports of these devices burning out if they're serviced regularly.
Try asking the manufacturer on their website what material they use.

can anyone tell me how to upgrade the firmare?
I used the avalon upgrade tool v1.12 and scanned the ports. it just says waiting.  If i click upgrade then i get the error "fail". This is for both mini3 and nano3.
