Without adding an antennae whats the wifi range on an S3+. Just curious. Thanks!

Strato

7m and the second floor, with stone walls did not have any problem. Tested with 4x S3 with wifi.

Without antenna? I find it hard to believe.

Of course, with the antenna. Same antenna, that you received from me with  S3 controller.

But he asked range without antenna  Wink.

And about the range with antenna.It varies.I had 4 or 8 S1 located about 1 meter from router.They worked well sometimes 2 months,sometimes 2 days.I think the issue is something called "radio weather". I really know nothing about it,HAM-amateurs here should be able to explain it.All I know,is that it has nothing to do with weather as we know it. It has something to do with stratosphere,ionosphere or something.Ask wiser men more.

I actually am a licensed ham myself.  Was one of those things I just wanted to try out, kinda a fun hobby.

You could get real complicated, but with S3 with no antenna it is not going far.  Most likely you are in same room close to router to get a signal.

I can tell it work with my TPLink without antenna at a few meters with no interference between.
But sometimes a miner will drop as if its having a problem connecting to wifi. So basically i have the bulk of my S1's right next to the router. (Because why not) and the others are using antennas and i can place them anywhere in my apartment.

Stay away from cheap PSU's.   It just is not a good way to get started.  Look for a decent one at least.

That is pretty much a great example of a cheap psu that I personally would never use for mining.

Oh really the guy I bought the S1 from said any 400w PSU would be ok with so I just went for a 500w to be safe. Feel a bit silly now... I thought with an S1 it would be ok seeing as it an older device...

I would not touch that for mining at all.  Look at what happens on failures of PSU's.  I bet the wires are very very cheap.   I would be surprised if they don't heat up and possibly melt.

Don't order it.  Trust us.

With being bought ebay that is kinda a crappy thing to do to the seller.  He provided you exactly what you ordered.   If you return he has to eat shipping most likely.

I suggest eating the £12.95 and just not use the thing.

If you want to save money but still get a quality PSU then go for a second hand Hot Swap Server PSU. Many to choose from on ebay, here is a good example.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P081-HP-DL380-ML380-G5-POWER-SUPPLY-DPS-800GB-A-379123-001-403781-001-1000W-PSU-/351399031780?hash=item51d103b3e4

This is an HP DPS-800GB which will do 1000W with 82 Amps on 12V all Day long. Look on the RC forums for detail on how to connect up and enable it.



As the S1 has some screw connectors you will just need some wires to connect up, no connectors needed. Excellent value at £15 delivered and much better than most PC power supplies at several times the price.  Smiley

Good advise. I used those with S1,when I needed wider range.Cheap and very effective way.

This was just an example of what you can get for £15 as opposed to a cheap ATX PSU. If you can suggest something better for the money please go ahead? Either way "only 80+ bronze" is a bit academic if the OP is going to using an S1.

I just got one of these and while it is quiet, it is still somewhat loud when trying to watch television. I want to drop the frequency down to 100M during the evening when I am in the room, then put it back to 225M (the default frequency). Basically, underclock when I am in the room and put to the normal speed when I go to bed/work.

Is there any danger of damaging the memory/storage with frequent writes to it? I don't imagine there is a hard drive inside the unit, so it must be writing the setting to some other form of non-volatile storage (with potentially limited writes).

Also, is it possible to automate this and have it follow a schedule?
