Anyone can give some quick stats about dimensions? I'm honestly afraid that this isn't going to fit into my apartment.

? The price is in $, so why do you think BTCgarden will drop the price ?
If the price would be in btc it will increase now I think  Huh

11.5in x 12in x 7in are the dimensions of the V2 (4 blades).

Because the production price is lower than sales price, and with BTC price drop one can earn (read: lose) less (more) $ using it.  Roll Eyes

Btc is / 2 do you think BTCGarden must divide his price by 2 ?
I will like that too but I am not sure they think like you  Grin

I'd love to see whatever they're coming out with be a direct drop in / swap for the current systems. As in unscrew the old boards, swap the heatsinks to the new boards, and screw in the new ones.

would be nice, though i expect the housing doesnt cost much to produce, maybe just some shipping expense.

anyway to get a better power consumption from these? 1.2w/GH is becoming too much power usage for where i live, and I'd be happy to lose 25% of my hashrate in exchange for <1w/gh

Yeah, I was wondering the same...mayhaps we can pencil mod these similar to the S1's or something!

depends on the regulator.

I tried to pencil mod the rockminer rkbox/r3 hashboards and the regulator setup on it did not allow for pencil modding in any of my attempts. The best I did was to determine a pair of resistors that must be simulateously modified to adjust voltage. Unfortunately, reducing the resistance of both via a pencil mod INCREASED voltage, meaning a decrease involves the more difficult task of increasing the resistance.

Havent done any experiements on the BTCgarden board, but schematics or at least identifying the regulator would give me a place to start. The risk to a single board is less than the risk of running 1.2w/GH for much longer

I had 5 of the 8 boards suddenly just stop hashing and I am not sure why?? I have tried all of the boards and could only get three of them hashing..anyone got any ideas as to why?

Try changing the order of the ribbon cables, or plugging the pi it to unit 4 (with 5-8 chained to it) to see if the issue is in common or an error on board 4 meaning 5-8 don't communicate through it normally

Thank you for your input what I have done so far is I have tested each word individually and I also changed the number on CG miner to one board when I did it to make sure that they are getting the full hash unfortunately there are five boards that are just not hashing at all when hooked up and I have no idea what it could possibly be because it was running at 1.2 terahash for about three months nonstop. Now I have a 450 terahash machine. If anybody has any ideas I am very interested in hearing them.

They just stopped working. I have quite a few of these units and I had one blade in a system that did the exact same thing. It just stopped working out of the blue. It does not hash when hooked directly to the pi on either cable connection. I just put it at the end of the system and run it with 7 blades. Sometimes, parts just fail.

seems odd that 5 boards would not work at all - are they powered by a seperate psu, or any other commonalities between them? One or two boards simply not working anymore would likely be an issue with the DC/DC regulator or the individual controller. But 5 board at once seems like a cascading issue across the boards to make them all stop.

if you have a multimeter check the voltage. look for 12V and ~0.8V presence from the inductor or capacitors. If either is missing it narrows down the problem

Does anyone know where you can purchase more of the ribbon data cables, when I got my miners (from eBay) I didn't get any spares and I would like to combine 2 of my AM-V2's to use only one Raspberry PI instead of running them as separate miners. I have looked every where that I know of but have been unable to find them. I even tried to find the 8-Pin connectors (4x2) so I could make my own but I was only able to find 10 pin ones and those didn't work when I tried to just use 8 of the pins. I am looking to buy 5 or so that way I have some spares if needed. Right now I have 3 of the AM-V2's and will probably be buying some more soon and I don't want to have to have a PI for every one of them. Thanks in advance.
Another quick question, the max you can connect is 2 of the AM-V2's right? Or is it possible to connect 3 together and just change the WebGUI to 12 boards instead of 8 or 4? I haven't seen any where saying that you can do 3 I think 2 is the max but figured I would double check with the best.


Dogie, Keep up the great work on the setup guides, they are always my first place to go to when I get a new miner to setup. I'm about to setup a C1 with cooling kit and I will be using your guide. Once done I will be sending a little token of my appreciation.

Thanks again
Ryan
