ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

[aarons6]

Hey guys,

If you want WIFI to work on your S3.


Just disassemble an old laptop. Pretty much any laptop made in the last decade which has wifi. And use the antenna in your S3.

You basically need to disassemble the entire laptop to get to the LCD, and disassemble to LCD to see the antenna's. It has the perfect connector.

At first I tried using an antenna from an iPhone but those were smaller. But any laptop wifi's should work. If you don't know how to disassemble a laptop just go to youtube and search for disassemble instructions.

WIthout an antenna it only detected 3 networks. 50% max range and kept disconecting every few hours about a foot away from the router. With the antenna detects about 40 networks and my router is 99% signal strength.


No idea why include the wifi adapter but not a simple $0.50 antenna.

did you leave the antenna inside? or did you put it out the hole where the fan wires are?

No the wire I fed it thru the fan wire holes and taped it to the wall. You can also screw it in the screws that hold the outside cover.

Hi!

I ordered replacement control board for S3+ with cables to be send together with my S5. Just got the board. Is there a EU suppler where I can find the cables? What do I need to put to google to find this cable?

Thanks

I've sent a message to engineers, but we won't hear until tomorrow now as its 8pm.

Thanks! Did you got any replay?

Thanks! Did you got any replay?

No reply unfortunately. I'm sure this has been asked about the S1 and someone came up with an ebay listing but with forum search down I was unable to locate it. I've found listings on globalsources which just refer to similar looking cables as X pin flat ribbon cables, that's the closest I can get.

Same on my end. In most cases I get fast respond but not this time... S1 cable will not work. It is different... I looked...

Its the same... 'type'... though, so I was hoping it would give us a name we could follow and look for a double row 20 pin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883197.msg10170014#msg10170014

1219 (the fixed version of 1024) is below

Download link is here. Rolls back to the last good patch in Oct (1024), but fixes voltage adjustment and the important reset button. MD5: 7DF1B12D28B25E10AAC37E2EAFC7397B

[This is 1219 = 19th Dec 2014 firmware]

And 1024 is rehosted on mega here. Couldn't find the MD5 though.

Any luck on your end. I did get a replays but it was not helpful. Just replays why I would need one... If I was ready to pay for it and I probably did why is that impotent? Broke one need one. Do I relay need to solder cables from control board to blade? I'm getting frustrated. It took more then 40 days to get replacement blade for unit in warranty and now this... This will probably not help but it might put some pressure on them

Hi,
what's the issue with the original cables?
Are they burnt?

Hi!

I ordered replacement control board for S3+ with cables to be send together with my S5. Just got the board. Is there a EU suppler where I can find the cables? What do I need to put to google to find this cable?

Thanks

This is mail communication from a moment they told me that unit is no longer in warranty(there is also some communication of a failed blade). mail addresses removed:

Hi!

There was special requirement! I asked for it. In mail and in the order. Can you just tell me where do you buy it(so I can see name of this part) or tell me the name of this part. I can look for it in EU. Or do I have to use soldering iron?

Hi,
If one customer orders one control board, there would be no cable shipped out if no special requirement.
May you know more details what's the issue?
If you have new order, we may ship out an extra cable to you together with it.
Thanks.

Hi!
 
Well
 
Since the warranty was over I bought that. So I didn't return anything. I bought 2 controller boards. One as a spare since I already have 2 of them failed.
 
Cables for S3 are also spares. I did damage one when testing what was wrong so I would like to replace that one and have one as spare.
 
You can read back in this mail or look at the order
 
This is what I order when you told me that unit is no longer in warranty
»So if I would like to order 2 controllers(one with cables just in case) and one S5.«
And this is a comment in order for S5 [removed] (where I paid for 2 S3 controller boards):
Order Notes:
I need 2 additional S3 control boards(one with cables). I was told over the mail that I need to make an order and I will be told how much I need to add to payment later.

Hi,
generally, we ship out the good replacement the same as the parts you return to us.
may you confirm whether you returned it?
the cables for S3+ and S5 are different.

Hi!
 
I have failed blade on one of the S3+. When I tested if there is something I can do I did replace controller and cables but that had no effect. And controller from failed unit worked on working one. So I'm pretty sure it is the blade. Below you can find a startup log.
 
This is order:
[removed]   1.16 BTC          Pay:1.16 BTC
Confirm:1.16 BTC         Paid
Shipped
Valid    2014-08-18 16:00:27.0   View
 
If you would like I can give you access to the unit…
 
If that makes any difference. Blade is green and have shiny voltage controllers(some of my S3+ have blue and voltage controller is not shiny).
 
Regards

[LordTheron]

Hi Guys,
I need to change default API port on couple of S3's but cant find any config. When I add --api-port 4030 to cgminer, my miner is not starting.
My cgminer line is like this:

PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb $_ow $_bec --api-listen --api-allow $_aa --api-port 4030 --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096"

So where do I change API port?

Thank in advance

Dogie, you have a copy of the 10/24 firmware I can download?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883197.msg10170014#msg10170014

1219 (the fixed version of 1024) is below

Download link is here. Rolls back to the last good patch in Oct (1024), but fixes voltage adjustment and the important reset button. MD5: 7DF1B12D28B25E10AAC37E2EAFC7397B

[This is 1219 = 19th Dec 2014 firmware]

And 1024 is rehosted on mega here. Couldn't find the MD5 though.

Are both of these from BITMAIN?

I have been running some on 10-24 and 12-19. The better overclockers I run on the strongest PSUs since the voltage does have an effect. The poorer performers I have been running 12-19 with until I get to whichever unit and figure out why it is hashing slower than the others.

In my experience it has been the unit which decides which firmware is better. Or there is a possibility I'm not doing something right.
I set the poor performers to 218 / 0720

seems bitmain no longer updates antminer s3 +?

[theseraphgabriel]

Maybe someone here can explain these strange issues I am having between an antminer S1 (works like it should) and antminer S3 (doesn't work right to me)...

 This is my problem tried all firmware versions and have found the same issues and I recognize it as a problem because my S3 is not working as it should. Let me explain as you can see from the images below the S1 has a best share of 5.5 million, but the S3 is still sitting around the 1k? WTF???

 So does this mean that the S1 is truly better then the S3 even though the S3 have 4-5 times the hashrate or is there actually something wrong with the firmware yet again. IDK if anyone has this same problem but me myself I think that S3 should be around 20-30 million by now after 12 hours of runtime. I don't believe this is "luck" as it is on a pool and yes have tried others with the same results.

I have posted this issue before on a different thread and someone told me it was a "luck" issue and if so then that means the S1 is FAR better then the S3 anyday and I don't believe that believe this is a firmware or maybe CGminer software related issue. Because I still don't think the S1 should have such a high best share reported and the S3 be so low and no the miner does not act strange in anyway. It runs fine and is on a EVGA 750 B2 PSU (brand new) also have tried it on the CX 500 PSU the S1 is on and same problem.

Also ran both of them for 3 days on p2pool and the S1 had a BS of 14 million + but the S3 didn't even hit 8 million so therefore the S1 was finding all the shares and the S3 didn't do a thing.

The guy who told you it was simply luck that your S1 had a better best share than your S3, I am afraid to say, is right.

It runs fine and is on a EVGA 750 B2 PSU (brand new) also have tried it on the CX 500 PSU the S1 is on and same problem.

Also ran both of them for 3 days on p2pool and the S1 had a BS of 14 million + but the S3 didn't even hit 8 million so therefore the S1 was finding all the shares and the S3 didn't do a thing.

The guy who told you it was simply luck that your S1 had a better best share than your S3, I am afraid to say, is right.

Then if that is true the S1 is FAR better then the S3 anyday as far as solo or p2pool mining would go where best share is what gets you paid. Now regular pool mining that's different and goes by submitted number of shares

You can draw your own conclusions from your observations of best share found, but the fact will remain that it is pure luck that the S1 finds a higher size share than the S3 in your "tests".
