Any possibility of producing more?

Do you have the backplane board that 8 of these boards will plug into?

Hi Bogart,

I don't have the back plane, i hate the fan noise so i'm mounting mine in a water cooling rig.

I can [produce more module board] but i think it would probably be a better idea for me to create populated boards and sell them.
A lot of people have bought ASIC chips but don't have the hardware to run them.
If i can pre populate the boards, people could solder the last asic chips on themselves, it all depends on whether you can dead bug it i think.

I will have to have a play with my boards and seek advice from those who do this as their day job  Smiley

Thanks for your reply.

I don't mean the heatsink, but rather the backplane PCB that 8 of the 10-chip boards plug into electrically, which itself then connects to the control unit via a ribbon cable, like is shown here:

Do you have the components on hand to populate the boards (minus the Avalon chips)?  I'd be interested in buying the PCBs along with their SMT components, to try assembling them myself.
