Excellent work!
That is clean, allows for easy access to the connections and holds it securely from the looks of it.
 

Thanks mate! Very secure indeed. The board remains in the mount even when removing the 20+4pin PSU connector.

Just a note....

DO NOT PLUG MORE THAN ONE (1) PSU INTO THESE BREAKOUT BOARDS.
^bad things happen! (to the secondary psu)  

I just found out the hard way earlier this evening, heh


Time for a quick frag then off to destroy (finish) the cover/lid for these suckers!

[mstrongbow]

Just posted my breakout board case thread which can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645228.0
I included a sneak peak of the lid. I will have pics of the actual lid attached to the mount base posted tomorrow. I must say it is nice having my bb secured and out of the way.

I did that with a fan controller..   I  accidentally plugged in a second psu  the first psu a 110 usd antec 650 watt plat burnt up.

HELP!!!! So, I got my rockminer today through Jones Gear on Amazon. I wired up to the bullet connector to my psu and everything is going well. But heres where it gets funky. Everytime I launch CGminer this happens

Jones Gear? I think that's your problem... If you're buying on Amazon I hear BitMinerJoe is the seller to go with. Seriously though, I haven't had this reported from any of my customers yet but there's another guy in dogie's thread with the same issue. It's an initialization problem but I'm not familiar enough with the code to determine if it can be worked around in cgminer or if it's defective.

Do you have a Linux box you can test on to see if it makes a difference? Also, try running cgminer with the debug flag enabled (-D) and see if it gives any more information.

RMA is your call. You might try upping the retry count on clearing that pipe error and rebuild cgminer. You could also ask Luke-jr if he has a beta version of bfgminer ready that you could test and see if serial drivers don't exhibit the same issues.

If it doesn't work with ubuntu i'd RMA it.

Just to confirm, you are using the custom CGminer and not a stock CGminer right?

Not for nothing I had a hell of a time getting the rbox rocking with windows, but once I compiled my own CGminer for the RasPi it worked instantaneously and without error. So - if it don't work in linux then it may be hardware.

There's also a cgminer-debug command that came with the windows download. When I had an issue of setting an improper frequency that jammed up the miner that cleared the problem straight away. It seems setting the freq to 300 errors the miner and clears all the freqs of all the chips and goes back to defaults

If you'd like I can upload my MinePeon image for the RasPi which i've modified to work with the Rbox. (Just change the pools otherwise you're mining for me :-P)

[gopitt13]

Alright, I have got good news! It does work!!!! But there are still problems. When fivejonnyfive said he messed around with the clock setting I decided to try that so I started at a frequency of 200. It it freaking worked. Only 20 ghs but still that means it good. So I amped it up to 230. Something peculiar happened....the miner would work for five seconds then pull that same error but it gets more interesting. I noticed the fan spins down really low then spins back up when the error pulls up and it stops working. Could this be a power problem? Thanks everyone for the suggestions too. I messaged Luke and I am using the modded cgminer. Actually it most likely is. I did a real shoddy job of wiring it up to the psu. The power brick that was suggested on this thread should be here tommorow. Time will tell

[bbeesley]

Jones Gear? I think that's your problem... If you're buying on Amazon I hear BitMinerJoe is the seller to go with.

Jones has always done me solid on BTC gear...they have a 7 day price guarantee after your gear ships that I have used many times when gear prices dropped, sometimes drastically...and they always gave me the refund

BitMinerJoe is a good guy too..he is actually in the same town I am and when I had an issue with a Cube I bought from him, he met me and traded it out for a new unit

short power for sure. (95% sure)    do not run it until you get better power source.

my gut feeling with this device is proper quantity of power is needed.  Your gear sounds under powered.

philipma1957, I'm glad your miners are stable. The two that I have will start at ~66GH/s, but over the course of a few days they'll dip a little lower and a little lower until they're about 57GH/s. I then have to restart CGminer (and usually change the clock speed) to get them to speed back up again.

Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be a windows build problem?

are you using bricks or a quality psu?

You know where I am going with this.   Quality psu for me = stable.  Bricks ?  

This is important for us to know I would like to resell these >  I want to know they will be stable.  Over the last 15 months I have found that bricks weaken and fail a lot.  good psu solutions work better.

he made really good pcie cable for grid seeds.

I'm using a 120W brick from an HP laptop with one, and I'm running another off of a Corsair CX500 power supply, wired to a molex connection. Both seem to decrease at the same rate, so I don't think that power is an issue, but I may try wiring both up to a dedicated extra power supply I have and see if that helps.

A user on Reddit suggested it may be a temp issue, as each of my miners is running at ~40degC, so I may try moving to a cooler location (outside of my "minecave") and see if that helps the issue.

[CrazyGuy]

I've been running 4 on a beaglebone without any slowdown after 4 days. You may want to keep an eye on cgminer's memory usage in Windows, perhaps there's a leak?

[philipma1957]

what is temp in your mining cave.  I have been under 83f   at all times.   If you are running at 95f ambient temp that could be the problem.

also what is on that corsair psu?  a lot of power draw against it?

same goes for the hp brick just the 1 r-box on a 120watt brick or other gear.

checking system processes for a ram leak is a good idea.

MY pc has
 cg miner
cpu miner
bfg miner all running   and my ram numbers are good

Crazy, I'll have to keep my eye out for a memory leak. I'm also planning on booting up a linux box to see if I have better results there.

My ambient temp is around ~80F in the Minecave (essentially a small workroom in my basement), so I'm guessing that's not the issue. The Corsair PSU has 2x Technobit Hex16A miners and 1x Asicminer Blade on it along with 1x R-box. The HP brick only has the 1x R-box. I'm planning on reworking my power supplies to put both R-boxes on another power supply.

I just restarted CGminer, so I'll have to wait a few days to see if there's a memory leak.

[CrazyGuy]

Sounds like a memory leak or processor utilization growing out of control. BFGMiner now supports the R-Box so that is worth a shot. I will be integrating it into the package installer tonight.

Also…

A few of these showed up today:



I'll be shipping a free board to everyone that has already ordered 6 units tomorrow. All new orders of 6+ units will receive a free breakout board as well. Additionally, you can purchase just the board from ASICPuppy.net
