Thank you very very much sir. I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to power this unit for days. I sprung for the 12V30A as I would like to purchase a few additional units down the line.
You said a fairly standard laptop power supply would drive one of these. Did you mean the Gridseed unit or the power supply itself?
What do I need to drive the power supply? I don't see a standard plug on the power supply in the pictures I have seen of people mining with these. I have seen two (sometimes three) wires connected to the AC. I assume I need something else to take the power from the wall into those AC inputs. What do I need to power the 12V 30A power supply from the wall? (I'm in the US if it helps on the type of power brick I need).
Sorry if these questions seem ridiculous. I've been mining for a while first with USBs on MinePeon and now with cubes connected to the GS800 Corsair power supply. However, this Gridseed unit has been a jump above my knowledge. If you could link me to what I need I would appreciate it. Also if you could PM me an address I'd like to send you a small tip.
sorry to take so long had a doctor appt today.
1st answer would be to drive the grid seed.
I see Demonmaestro answered the question on what power cord is needed.
(DON'T do A two wire only connection, make sure to connect ground and the neutral and hot) on the incoming power.
on the power cable from the site Demonmaestro pointed to. the boxes would have L N and the ground symbol. Ground goes to green, N to white and L to Black.
