hey thanks for the great guide just have a couple of questions
1. why do you need that lightning asic router thingy cant you just use the usb hub alone?
2. where can i get one if i need one?

thanks alot

You need something to run the mining software, the controller or a windows/linux/pi box.  Not sure who sells the controllers by themselves they come with the 10 packs (LA3M)

I have 4 units on my windows 7 PC running the CPU miner
and I have to say they have not missed a beat
I have 6 more on order that I should get on Monday

I will try the PI later in the week

You are running with a USB hub to windows PC? I've heard rumors of the firmware update that will give 500 khs but they said that's just for the controller?
