After seeing what Phillip was doing, I kinda pressed on engineering to make on the fly frequency changes a lot easier. There is STILL a long way to go on what I would call proper specifications for systems: in particular I would like to see independent lab testing of machines and like to finally publish some hard data on how performance changes as a function of temperature. Who knows with a built in neural net asic maybe somebody will discover that the machine can learn to control itself. The clock cores already adaptively adjust their clock rate as a function of DH.
Yeah I worked out with the A741 a couple of years ago how to do the frequency via the "More Options" field - since you can put any cgminer settings in there (rather than having to login and change the init script)
I started doing the A741 heater back in 2017 since it was less power than my home heater

As long as the options are in cgminer, it's not a problem to be able to change the settings, but of course a specific web page option to set it is more help for the less technical.
(and I failed dismally to get the A851 or A921 to do it last year when I got them from Canaan, since the stepping changed - so I didn't know til you released the code in Nov what the values where
and by then it was summer again - winter coming up again soon, I'll get them out of the cupboard and try to get them to work as heaters also)While we have a bunch of machines in test, Lily and I want to get test results from the first Trial run. You should see those system hit the pool any day now.
The time I posted about it was to say "These really exist and they match the specs shown on the web sites"

If you have time, you can get one of the devs to message me per the usual channel, or send me a PM, to let me know when you do a faster test and I'll check out the individual miners and post the numbers.
(takes me a few minutes effort, I find a miner that was on before and after the hour, then do the calc on the shares it submitted for that hour, since their not individually reported on the pool, they all use the same worker name, which is ok of course)
