[bbxx]

Hi

Just got my packages from friedcat.
It consist of 13 boxes.
Review and detailed guide on the way.

assembly photo


got from

I will try to make working miner using this:

and

Have look at photos before assembly.

u think number 13 will be lucky for you? 

amounts of parts is massive. from delivery to mining how long? 2 days? plus if you have big fingers you screwed

good luck buddy.

i have paid at friday night, got package at tuesday at my airport (EU)
customs like usually were annoying but it was cleared due to great help of friedcat team!

Just got them from airport
Have electronic screwdriver so it will be fast.

I think/hope about 20min per miner

Tube is almost ready

without pcb



edit,
i messed up

[Franktank]

Would appreciate additional pictures as you assemble them, thanks for doing this.

Handles are backwards    Looks very nice, I'm interested to see how these do.  I've got mine on order with Canary right now.

Does the thermal paste come in a tube on the side?

[bbxx]

No problem it is pleasure to create pictures

thermal paste is replaced with thermal pads easy to apply.

some pictures after dinner break

[friedcat]

Do not forget to insert the ivory color washer (4 per device) between
the handle and the fan when screwing the fan onto the cooling kit.
It serves the protection of the PCB when screwing.

thanks for this.
i will change it.

unit is not hashing unfortunatelly yet.
maybe i messed up with connection cables.

i will try to fix it in 2 hours from now.

Once it will work, it would be very much appreciated if you could mesure the sound level of it.

Thx !

what's the dip switch used for?

[davecoin]

what's the dip switch used for?

For running multiple miners off one ethernet controller. See section 5 of Dogie's guide:

Self addressing would be more "pro"

Over engineering if you ask me for something you set up once and never touch again till the electricity bill is too high.

got 6 miners assembled but i cant get them working

how they should be wired? i mean white transfer cable, and long one to controller

board 1

1a 1b

board 2

2a 2b

board 3

3a 3b

board 4

4a 4b

where a is socket nearest to fan

1a->2b 2a->3b 3a->4b 4a->controller?

i am testing it and it takes long time...
and how switches should be set if there is only 4 boards

and 8

nuber 1 is this one with controller ?

thanks

ps. sorry but this miner is not so easy to setup without detailed guide

Did you check out Dogie's guide for the HashRatio Tsunami that is also based on AM's open source x24 reference design?

^^ this and you also need to flash firmware to boards once everything is wired correctly

The last one's cable goes into controller.
Or another way, I think, the controller can accept 3 connections.  But I think each connection is independent.  So dip switches are for 1 chain
