Jua Kali Hardware

This directory contains all the documentation and resources needed to assemble the hardware for the Jua Kali Miner. Building the hardware is the first step to getting your off-grid Bitcoin miner up and running.

Hardware Documentation

The hardware documentation is split into three key documents. We recommend reviewing them in the following order:

1. Jua Kali Component List.ods

This document is the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the Jua Kali Miner. It provides a comprehensive list of all the components you will need to build the miner. The list is broken down into three categories:

• Harvested Components: Parts that can be salvaged from an existing Bitcoin miner.
• AliExpress Components: Parts that can be purchased from AliExpress.
• Locally Sourced Components: Common parts that you can find at a local hardware or electronics store.

Before you begin, consult this list to ensure you have all the necessary components.

2. JuaKali_SLD.pdf

This is the Single Line Diagram (SLD) for the Jua Kali Miner. It provides a high-level overview of how all the major components are electrically connected. This diagram is useful for understanding the overall circuit and the flow of power and data through the system.

3. Jua Kali Component Assembly.pdf

This document provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the Jua Kali Miner. It ties together the component list and the single line diagram, showing you exactly how to connect all the wires and components. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a safe and successful assembly.
