Such a nice project I'd like to have them but still it depends on the price of this unit and it depends on the specs like how much power this miner can consume (it looks the same as Compac F that can be consumed around 15w).
Yes, 15W max as that is the maximum power a usb charger can handle @5V. The miner in the screenshot consumes ~13W from the wall, the efficiency of the charger is 87%, so the miner itself uses ~11.3W at ~250GHs.I like the dashboard the design is very simple and since you said you can connect through wifi and it doesn't need Raspi because the board is Arduino then that's a big advantage compared to Compact F.
So for me, I like it but I don't know if I can afford it that is why like I said it depends on the price of your miner.
You've only seen the polished part of it So for me, I like it but I don't know if I can afford it that is why like I said it depends on the price of your miner.
The input side is 'rough', to get it working (from 'new') you need to
- Enter your Wifi credentials (the miner turns into an access point if it isn't configured or can't find the configured Wifi, connect to that ap and open page at 192.168.4.1) by entering 'write /wifi.cfg:<ssid> <password>'
- Enter the miner configuration (best after a reboot so you can connect to it over your newly configured wifi) by entering 'write /sys.cfg:<asic type, 1387 or 1397> <#asics in series> <#asic parallel> <Vcore multiplier to convert the adc result into the core voltage>', all this info is hardware (&revision) dependent.
- Enter the pool configuration by entering 'write /pool.cfg:<pool address> <pool port> <user name> <user password> <worker name> <suggest difficulty y or n>'
- Enter the asic settings by entering 'write /asic.cfg:<freq> <voltage in mV>'
Then finally after a reboot the miner will run as configured. Other possible commands are;
- r for reboot
- format to format the internal storage (factory reset)
- type <filename> to show contents of file
- dir
- f+ & f- to increase or decrease the asic frequency in 5MHz steps
- v+ & v- to increase or decrease the core voltage in 5mV steps
- s to save the current asic settings to /asic.cfg so it will reuse these settings after a reboot
It seems the idea comes from Duino mining from Gunther where you can mine Duco?
Never heard of anything you mentioned here..
