Hi all. wow great rig set ups you guys have.  I'm still a bit new to mining. and just ordered one of those Blackarrow breakout boards. and i'll have a total of 5 r-boxes monday.

I'm going to be using a Corsair CX 500 watt modular PSU.

and before i go plugging cables into that board i just have a few questions.

1) in order to run the 5 r-boxes, do i plug the 24 pin ATX cable and the 8 pin CPU and one of the 8 pin PCIe cables into the board and then attach my r-box pigtails to thier respective + and - connections on the board ?

2) and if and when i eventually have all 10 r-boxes ( if i can find 5 more over the next couple of months ) do i need to plug the last 8 pin PCIe in for them or will what i have plugged in be enough ?

3) How would i go about plugging my Raspberry Pi Model B+ onto that breakout board?   i can't seen to find any pictures of that set up anywhere.

4) i have a Rosewill  7 port USB hub which i'll have to upgrade to a 10 Port when i get all 10 R-boxes.  Is there a way to power that off the Breakout board or will that still need to be plugged into a powerstrip ?


any answers to these questions is appreciated. been learning quite a lot from reading these forums. you guys are great

Thanks

  plug the 24 pin atx c able
  plug both pcie cables
  leave the  cpu cable out
  if I recall you can get 5 volt power out of that  but I never bothered to do it.

see photo bottom right just above the on off there is a none wired 3 volt and right above it a 5 volt that is ready for use it has 4 screws on it.  2 pos 2 neg  check your wiring very carefully  when you hook your gear up.

Yes you can power your R-Pi off the 5v output on the BA board. I will post pics later.

I bought my second set of Am v2 and I am having no luck with it hashing past 310gh. I have tried taking all wires off and reconnecting and no luck. I also am not able to get it noticed by the rasp Pi as a 3rd and 4th blade as it says it can be. I was not shipped a rasp Pi cable with this miner also so that I can run it with a 2nd rasp instead of the same. I'm hoping that I can get this resolved quickly as I am losing much mining time and the prices just dropped dramatically the day after I bought them. Please PM me and help me out.

Check your email, I sent some troubleshooting tips and a series of pictures detailing how to convert a daisy chain cable to a data cable. I'll post pics on the forum tonight for others that may have purchased a unit without an RPi but don't have a data cable.

Nothing in my email..? Also I am not able to get this unit hashing..I am needing to return. Please advise.

If you are purchasing a BTCGarden AMV1X2 miner without an RPi, please note that it will not come with an RPi data cable. Fortunately, it's very easy to make one from the extra daisy chain cable provided.


The RPi data cable and standard data cable are exactly the same, except for the location of 2 pins. To convert a standard data cable to an RPi data cable, remove the bottom right 2 pins, wrap them in electrical tape or heatshrink tubing, and connect to the RPi like so:





To remove the two pins, place a small point under the black tabs which hold the pins in. Lift up as you slide the pins out.

I may want an r-box . does it use the same software as the 37gh round ones? 
I have 6 of them from you.
If it just runs with them I would give one a try.
HOW quiet is it?

I'll post some stats tonight. It may run with the latest cgminer/bfgminer branch, but Rockminer's build will likely be the most stable. Rockminer also provides an RPi image.

get back to us. I have been really lazy about getting a  rasp pi. maybe I will order the rasp pi and the box tonight

I've fired up a couple of them, tested at 350 and 320 clock speed.  They run very, very well!  Quiet and aesthetically pleasing.  Very simple and clean design.  It looks like an oversized external drive.  Makes you think you are opening an apple-ish product when you see the box

Definitely a great miner for starters and to gift to someone to introduce them to mining.  It fits well on a desk at the office too!  someone should figure out a converter from xbox power adapter to 6 pin and powering up becomes even simpler for newbies and starters.  (I mentioned this to sidehack when we met...)
The Pi's are beefed up, they have heatsinks on 2 chips to help with reducing reboots due to overheating.

I like this unit very much so far!

Those are some impressive clock-rates! The device is very well designed and packaging is beyond my expectations. I honestly wasn't expecting they would come in a larger version of the first gen r-box box. I also really like the idea of using the breakout board with lower end PSUs. Spreading the 12v out over the Mb, CPU, and pcie molex connectors should put many more PSUs into play. You can also power the pi with the breakout board.

Think you could snap a shot with a ruler or something to reference the size of the new R-Box miners? Super cool looking!

[CrazyGuy]

I'll post a side-by-side with the original r-box shortly.

yeah I would like to see one.  I am sending a pm .
