1. Power indicator

Tester Power Status LED

2. Firmware mode BOOT button

Button for transferring the tester to BOOT mode, for subsequent download of software updates

3. Power connector

USB 2.0 Type A power connector, cord included.

Tester power supply required: DC 5V/2A

This USB connector is additionally used when updating the tester.

4. Hash board connection interface

It is important! When working with the tester, it is allowed to use ONLY LIVES AND ADAPTERS FROM THE DELIVERY SET! Or self-made in accordance with the pinout provided by STASIC tech.

Preparing for hash board diagnostics

1. Switching on the tester

Connect the tester to a DC 5V / 1-2A power source, USB 2.0 Type A cable (supplied),

the tester’s LED indicator will light up and a short beep will sound.

 

ATTENTION! If this does NOT happen, check your power supply/USB cable, try substituting with a known good one!
2. connecting to tester via Wi-Fi / updating tester

A)  Open WiFi settings, list of wireless networks, on your device (PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone)

B)  Select in the list of wireless networks, a network called “Tester123“. Enter WiFi password: stasictester 

(ATTENTION! The last three digits from the name of the WiFi network are individual in each tester and will differ!)

С)  Open a browser, type in the address bar: 5.5.5.5/menu – the page for selecting models of supported boards of your version of the tester should appear on the screen.

 

FAQ If the page is not displayed!?

check if your device (PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone) is connected to the WiFi network of the tester? In the absence of the Internet in the WiFi network of the tester, some devices automatically reconnect to other networks with the presence of the Internet.

  • The network addresses of your WiFi adapter can be entered manually, switch to automatically receive from DHCP in the network settings.
  • You are trying to use your smartphone as a WiFi adapter to a PC, such a connection scheme will not allow you to work with the tester.

3. Connecting the hash board to the tester
It is important! When working with the tester, it is allowed to use ONLY LINES and adapters FROM THE DELIVERY SET! Or self-made in accordance with the pinout provided by STASIC tech.
ATTENTION! The hash board must be de-energized before connecting and disconnecting the tester.

 

A)   Connect STASIC (20 pin) – Bitmain (18 pin) cable, supplied with the tester

(on the example of the Antminer S17 board)

B. Supply appropriate power to the hash board.

C. We go to the user interface, update the page (http://5.5.5.5/menu), select the hash board model in the browser.

D. Select the correct model for diagnosis.

User interface

1. POWER

The “POWER” button is used to turn on / off the power of the hash board in manual mode, to measure the voltage of the hash board during diagnostics using additional equipment, a multimeter, an oscilloscope.

2. START TEST

The “START TEST” button enables/disables the function of automatic polling of the state of the hash board chips.

3. Update EEPROM

The “Update EEPROM” button is used to carry out operations with the firmware of the EEprom hash board.

Operations with EEprom

  1. Reading Eeprom – reads the EEprom from the hash board into the tester’s memory.
  2. Read Eeprom to File – reads the EEprom from the hash board, saving it to a file on the PC.
  3. Write to Eeprom – Writes the EEprom dump, the last one stored in the tester’s memory, to the hash board..
  4. Send File – Allows you to write a dump saved in a file on a PC to hash board EEprom..
IT IS IMPORTANT! To exit to the previous menu, always use the “RETURN MENU” button!! Management of the “arrows” of the browser is prohibited!
4. READ TEMP

The function of interrogating the temperature sensors of the hash board works only if the tester determines that all the chips of the hash board are in good condition.

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________

The function of frequency overclocking and polling of the Whatsminer chips works when the “Read Temp” button is pressed (the software module is purchased additionally)

When the “Read Temp” button is pressed for the first time, the temperature of each chip is interrogated, when pressed again, information about the voltage of each chip is displayed.

Attention! for the function to work, the necessary power supply of the hash board is 14 volts, 25 amps.

5. RETURN MENU

Button to return to the previous menu.

IT IS IMPORTANT! To exit to the previous menu, always use the “RETURN MENU” button!! Management of the “arrows” of the browser is prohibited!
6. POWER indicator

Power status indicator hash board

7. RI signal indicator

Indicator of the presence of the corresponding signal on the hash board.

8. Additional Information

Information output line: Diagnosable hash board model, PIC controller version.

FAQ If in the status line, the version of the PIC controller of the hash board is not defined (0x00), this means that the tester does not see the board, check the power supply and the connection of the diagnostic loop to the hash board!
9. Graphic table of chip locations

Table for displaying information about the state and location of chips in the process of diagnosing a hash board.
