I know I read it in one of the gridseed threads somewhere, but I cant seem to find it now. Can anyone tell me what the specific power requirements of a 5 chip Gridseed device is? Thanks.
?
The board says 100ma via USB and 12v (IDK amps) via the 2.5mm barrel plug.
All the power draws are in the power and freqs section of the OP.
Amps is what I'm trying to find, I think I read somewhere that a power supply for these should have 7 amps available, which sounds really high. Maybe 7 amps is for the whole 3Mh kit, when using dual mode. Thinking I'll just rig up a molex>barrel connector cable so I can plug these into the psu running the rig I plan to add them to. Unless Cablez can get me a cable in the mail real soon, but I'm betting he is pretty swamped at the moment.
Single mode is 6W 12V .5A max 10W 12V .84A dual mode is 60w 12V 5A max 100W 12V 8.4A so I would say the 7AMP recommendation is SPOT ON for providing max needed power for dual mode!
So if you are running in Scrypt mode we can safely say 1Amp/1,000ma provided will be a standard number and plenty of power for scrypt mode.
Once cablez finalizes a standardized design he will be able to send out a lot of orders pretty quick.
