*SNIP*
Sorry I am not understanding pots? is that just resistor? Also Are we talking about this is based on Vmod3 right? I was thinking of Software switch but again, u said another good idea "physical switch" , 2 Wires on the 2 contacts in replace of the R52 resistor and those 2 wires lead you to maybe 4 different resistor with a 4 way switch hhaha.. Stock Mode - 47K Mode - 49.9K mode and then 52K mode
BOOOM we now have SuperVmod- Giving us the choice to Dual mine, BTC mine, Scrypt Mine, + Scrypt mine OC in 3 OC steps.
Since I am not a electronic guy even though I have soldered a few chips and leds on mobile phones back in the Nokia phone days.. I would need detailed instructions to even attempt this. Also seems like it would be an AWESOME mod but seems like alot of shit that needs to be done... Which is why I initially thought, By doing the Jumper/short mod + changing over 1 resistor to the perfect Kohm amount.. then enables us to flick the swtich with software. Both are awesome ideas if they work , The Physical switch is a definite one that will work but = Harder to do... The Software/hardware mod is easier but Not 100% it will work.
I was looking at these miners and I thought of something to save room,
I was thinking of pulling apart 2 x Gridseeds and removing the fan on one, somehow attaching the heatsink without the fan to the bottom of the other gridseed with the fan , 1 fan is pretty powerfull, this saves us doing the 5v fan mod as now you are only using the 1 fan for 2, so bascially cuts the fan power in half. And ALSO saves room as you have basically mashed 2x grids together and giving the cooling from the 1 fan. WIth the mod this will make 1 double whopper grid with 10 Chips= 1000Kh +
Something like this >>> https://www.dropbox.com/s/gaykii3dlqvqfjc/mashhh.jpg
Edit:
even better!!>>> I just thought of making it smaller by removing the sink directly under fan in the photo and having the back against one of the boards This makes it smaller by only having 3 peices of sinks and the fan, like this >>> https://www.dropbox.com/s/8q278fnjgzd18hj/mash2.png - and maybe cooler as the fan is now closer to both boards. Not bad looking for a future 1000Kh little beast

Yes, pot is short for Potentiometer which is a variable resistor. If I had 50k worth of "pot" I wouldn't be concerned about modding a gridseed
The physical switch is definitely possible. It wouldn't really be all that hard either I don't think. The software parameter is the real interesting one I think.
