Purchased 2 avalon6 miners on eBay. Each came with raspberryPi.
Then purchased this universal power supply on centrix.com
Here is the link to the actual PSU I bought. I'm not sure how it plugs into the avalon6 miner though.

I think it came with more 6pin cords than needed to power avalon6 because you can use it to power antminers as well.
Please help me figure out how to get These miners turned on.
Anyone who is mining with avalon6 your input is defineyly needed. I believe there are a lot of people mining on steemit with mining hardware.
This is where I'm at with them right now.
I thought this was going to be a plug and go type of deal. Mining is proving to be a learning experience .
I am so excited to get these up and running. The raspberry pi is working and I have it configured to the IP address. The light on the power supply is on and the light on the raspberry pi is on. The light on the avalon6 unit is not on though. I am at a lost.
Raspberry Pi is working! This was a puzzle to figure out but we solved it.
Power supply is on. Yellow light is on indicating it is getting power and works.

Someone on steemit will know something so I am posting this latest endevour in the hopes of getting some community support. I will update the progress and hopefully we will be mining SOON!
Thanks for sharing this. However is it not cheaper to mine with Genesis or other top mining firm?

it's better to do both if you can. Electricity is low cost in my case so I just paid for miners, and power supply and that's it. I'm $1000 into it. I anticipate making that money back in 3 months or so. Wish me luck!

no why would u think this!!?!?
where do u think genesis gets THEIR bitcoins??! They mine on these ASIC machines!!! hahaha u think it woudl be CHEAPER somehow?!?!?! haha how!?!? how would that be possble lol
come on think!!!!
u pay maintanance fees when u get contracts from genesis (which is terrible price for btc go to pool.bitcoin.com )but yeah these miners will make way more money than genesis ....these are what genesis uses (of they have antminer s9 i think)
its all good we will show u the results!!!!

I know that you are right however many go to genesis because they feel that doing it alone is too expensive due to electric costs and the technicalities. Mining bitcoin on genesis is not profitable as you indicated rightfully. However is group of people come together and mine with the best machine, then they will make a lot of money. Dash is more complex to mine now isnt it? Good comment indeed buddy, thanks

Not really, it will takes months to break even.

The comment was for genesis mining. How do you get FREE electricity by the way?

Free electricity from SOLAR panels! here in San Diego we have year round high energy sunlight!
and about genesis i know its good a great deal for those who cant mine themselves, i was reallly mad yesterday i know genesis is pretty good! great deal for people who cant afford or deal with mining with own hardware! it can be a big headache if u run into any serious issues while mining! I can only imagine the headaches! Im sure theres much worse headaches with software development...

I have guessed that it could solar or wind energy. Very sustainable venture you are into, good luck!
I have been with genesis from last one year, the ROI is nothing compared to own mining, it works just to test out but cannot make a regular income out of it. Where as own mining is better if we can spend sometime in learning and managing the stuff.
For starters - i recommend minergate of nicehash.

That's what I said. After a few month it will be pure profit. No electricity cost.
