is this for Bitaxe Ultra? Can you share the files used to order the parts? |

What was the pricing they gave you ? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Yep including the ASIC! I am located in Australia so the conversion to Australian dollars hurts the pricing and once I add shipping it becomes a question of buying the pcbs and doing it myself as it is a big purchase for me at the moment. |

I would certainly be interested to see if they deliver at that price and what is delivered |

Yeah it is a gamble, again will have to check finances. PCBway said the quote is valid for 3 months so maybe I can save up over that time LOL. |

Where did you order? Would you be able to share the order files? Like BOM, POS and Gerber Files? |

jarlei, all files are available here in the github...I know its confusing to navigate, it literally took me a week of poking around and reading everything over and over and piecing things together before it started making sense. I do believe they said it is a future project to get things cleaned up for easier reading. The project is just progressing and moving forward so fast. |

which branch did you use? there are several branches labeled Ultra with manufacturing files |

The branch that just says ultra it seems to be the one that has the most recent updates |

Looks like there are slight differences between the v1.1 and ultra files, the noticeable one is the different logo and the lack of thru holes on the top. ultrav1.1 ultra |

Ultra 1.1 is latest. I was working on it tonight. |

Thanks for clarifying 👍 I thought that would be the case because of the plug power adapter and the USB-C port for programming. |

Hmm, I thought V2 might be the latest? So dare I ask, which version should I be going for, from what I can tell the chip INA260AIPWR is on backorder everywhere so regardless there is a wait time to build of any version. If anyone is in Australia would they be interested in buying a bare PCB if I was to place an order? Cheers! |

Well I have decided to order bare PCBs and do the build myself, I have my cart in Digikey ready to go with all parts showing in stock. I will be going with the V1.1 build that has all the updates as of today. Lets hope all goes well!!! Cheers! |

What happened with the PCBway order? was it too complicated to get setup or was the costs too great? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Ended up being to complicated, they kept querying the BOM and when I asked about the pre tinning of the 1366 I was not sure if they fully understand that there is an extra cost to either obtain the tool or make the stencil for that process. So even though it seemed like a very good deal I was not confident that I would have a product that would work at the end of the day. |

Just placed my order with PCBway for my 10 PCB's, will see how quickly they arrive! Also placed my order on Aliexpress for the 1366 Chips! Cheers! |

Nice! thanks for the updates, would like to see the progression for sure |

looking good!! Excited to see these get built. |

Well the digikey parts have just arrived and so have the 1366 chips from aliexpress along with the oled and fystec cooling fans but no heatsinks yet so in theory I should be able to start building?!? |

@ned73 is it these chips? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
@owenashurst yep those are the chips from that same seller, I have both AL and AG versions and there is no difference as far as I can tell and I dont think you can get the AG versions anymore. |

First one fresh out of the oven, I finally found a use for my zallus oven reflow controller. R3 and r5 are missed because I forgot to order them but they are on the way. |

Hi! does anyone have tha file por pick and place? I just ordered un PCBway too but if I get this files are empty, if I full myself I will almost fuck up that xd |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Not sure what pick and place is. It took me about 1.5 hours with no experience to place the parts on the board using 3.5 magnifying glasses. I had to rework some small resistors as a couple had tombstoned on me ie decided to go vertical on one end. Otherwise I am slowly working my way through the board and will start on the chip side this weekend and fingers crossed test it out with power! Cheers! |

Ok, so I have my components all installed, power is on but no oled lighting up (unless that needs the initial firmware loading to get it running) and the PC does not see any new ports when plugged in via USB C, any tips on trouble shooting connection etc? The cooling fan works when I just plug in the UCB C Cable, and I have tried multiple USB c Cables with the same effect. The 1366AG is getting quite warm along with the ESPRESIDF chip so I am pretty sure they are connected, all solder joints have been checked and all look good with clean silver connections. Any tips or suggestions would be great! Cheers! |

Hey Ned, quick question. The 4 pin header that the oled plugs into, is it listed on our 1.1 BOM? I cant seem to find it and its going to be missing for my builds once my pcb's arrive. Do you happen to have a part number for this? I've found a couple through searching on DK PPPC041LFBN-RC and 61300411821. Just wondering if anyone will suffice? I did ask over at the discord chat as you suggested and they have been super helpful but I have yet to get an answer to this one, and then I remembered you also built 201's V1.1 BOM as well. Thanks mate |

Hi Rains, I got them from ebay, I just typed in this search - 2.54 mm pin header 4 pin single row - got a bunch of them for next to nothing, they are also used for arduino boards etc Hope this helps. |

Certainly did help, much appreciated Ned, I went on ebay as per your suggestion and purchased a bunch of strips, says they are breakable to the size needed. Again gracias amigo 🙏 |

|
No problem, I did forget to mention you will need the female headers, and the strips kind of break ok, well the male ones do very easily, but the female will need some side cutter help. Cheers! |

Hi all!
Just wondering if anyone has the Ultra Bitaxe up and running with the 1366 chip, I have just priced up a set of 5 fully built from PCBway and would like to get peoples opinions on whether it is worthwhile to buy those or to go with 5 PCB's and build one myself (I have also priced up just the 5 pcbs with stencil)
Any opinions or advice would be great!
All the best!
