Another view showing the side by side setup better. Unfortunately I can only run one miner at a time at this location because I only have one ethernet connection here, so when it's hot I run the S5 but slide it back so that it exhausts out the wall vent. R-Pi controller draws 2.6 watts, wish they made an inexpensive meter for the 240v line, all I could find were in-line devices that cost on the order of $100. I am moving next month and will have a new laundry room to turn into a home mining area.
Just get a small 4 port ethernet hub there and you can have both of them running if you have enough power.
The ethernet feed to that location is one that is already coming off a 6 port hub, and I don't think you can hub off another hub so no dice. Not to worry, next laundry room mine will have more connectivity.
In fact, the thought of building something like that would be indeed good hard work sacrifice!
Necro post much? You quoted a 5 year old post from this thread without moving the conversation along.
