Check this kayl Froster dfi pin out and asus
All the froster came with the pin out for the dfi because it was the most widely used, so maybe Outcast modified the pin out or someone for him.
the pin out that i am using has been used on a dfi mobo and an asus mobo, i will take pictures of it as soon as i get my digital camaara back:(
Jinu may be able to help with this as i got the froster installed by him.
Hey Guys I have the new software but after flashing to new firmware I cant get the controller to recognise the software. It just says unable to connect. I cant flash back to a different firmware as they cant find the Froster either can you help? All teh connections are in place
Hey also I have noticed the XE and 1.5 are missing from the start up sequence where it says them on teh display that is.
Please help!!!
The 2.6 software with its firmware update fixed my g-froster xe 1.5 problem. i was unable to get the software to see or control the controller in windows. When i installed 2.6 and its firmware everything started working perfectly. Thanks G-froster Team!
Its like i always say if you have a problem theres a damn programmer to blame somewhere (im just joking dont flame me) well im kinda joking :)
Thanks again to eveyone involved in the g-froster product
Lee
now if you guys would just make a g-froster coldbug fix kit or a conroe motheboard with a nforce 590sli intel chipset i could build a nice computer that i could overclock and actually use the jinu v2000 SS unit i bought :)

_We have more modules to make all the controllers, and some to send to a few guys... ;)
This is all good news. We need controllers and Golden Froster has always been on the cutting edge of R&D.
I hope your new releases are what your looking for. :)
as the chinese proverb recalls: " a picture says more than 1k words". IMO: :shocked:
Congrats dude
sweet, so whats the ETA of delivery, cant wait to get these controllers.
Pick up the cascade cases friday and dieing to try the cascade controller:toast:
As soon as golden finishes the firmware and test it. At least one more week
Hi guys, i just wanted to tell you that, i´m still working on firmware.
Final steps before new line of controllers comes alive.
regards.
It is quality not speed or quantity :) Take as long as you need to make a perfect product that is deserving of your names :)

First cards will be assembled this week, wile the firmware is written.
Last week was all about hard testing of the new bootloader routines, that´s the only part of firmware that cant be replaced from serial port, so it´s really important to make sure it works 100% ok.
During the weekind, After an automated long time testing, i found that on the reflash N° 844 the sistem crashed. I´m not happy with that, so Im improving the error-recovery routines to make it safer.
I´ll be posting more news as the develop progress, some pictures of the pcb´s assembled too.
Last but not least, i want to apologize again for the long delay that we are having whit this new controllers.
It was really hard to source some parts for the cards, that´s why it took so long for coming up with the final desing.
Thing´s are running smoothly now, it´s only programming and final tests left.
I´m been away on msn lately, cause im giving to this task all the atention that it requests; I really need to finish this asap. Try not to be hard with ssilencer, he is as anxious as all of us to see this things ready to ship!!!
Regards
Here is a partially assembled pcb.
I was doing some test this morning to the power suply, and communications interface.

Another shot. Leds are in place of the LCD header, just for some testing. They wont be there when the controller is ready.

This is the soft I wrote for testing the firmware updates... You´ll notice some spanglish in the pic. :p:

I know, crappy webcam dosn´t show caracters.
Pazza, have you tried by replacin the serial cable?
I know you are working hard Golden and we can appreciate that.;) I would like to know -
Is this work your doing related to the problems with the XE that some people are having? Will this controller replace the XE?
I hope so because I am anxiously awaiting replacements for the XEs I now have.
Will Golden Froster be setting up RMA for defective controllers?
Yes I have tried a different cable mate any other ideas?
Well, this is best to be explained once and for all.Quote:

Second, we were investing a lot in the research and fixes for the original Xe, that had some EMI problems, we fixed some of them with different firmware updates, if you read other pages you can find some people that can back up these words.
Also, looks like there is a lot of people that like to install electronic stuff without having minimal knowledge, and that caused some more troubles (no ground connections, etc)
We also replaced some controllers, them being damaged beyond repair (broken PCBs, BENDED microcontrollers, yes, BENDED, awfully installed ones, etc) pazza received 3 new xe 1.6 in replace of irreparables xe 1.2, Chilly1 was advised to send the ones he got broken the first time, due to the shipping company, so we can repair them or change them for new ones.
In europe, Wayne (DaBbLe in XS) got his controller fixed and working 100% ok, but anyway, we sent to him a microcontroller for replacement in case he wanted it to change it, and also he helps us with another guy that got a original xe, and we sent him a module and microcontroller, and a new display to replace without any charge.
Value 1.0, Value 2.0, X controller, none of that controllers has 1 single fail iirc.
Again, WE ARE JUST TWO GUYS, we are not OCZ, nor TEAM GROUP, or any other company, anyway, I think there are more people happy than angry with us, and even some people that like our customer service. For example, we had been online for hours helping one customer over msn at 3am on a sunday.
As I told you by pm, we will repair or replace your two xe 1.2, I just need you to send them here.
Agreed :)
Ssilencer and Golden have been some of the most helpful and attentive guys in the phase parts world. Considering it's just them, not a big company, they've been great!
The new X controller looks good, looking forward to when they're all ready to go.
I likely won't use the cascade controller on the one I'm (slowly) putting together now, but I'm making a quiet cascade next with recip's and would love to put mine onto that one.
Some companies give guarantee's and limited warrantee's but you 2 give something better, with a lot less loopholes. Your word. :toast:
Cheers
Gray
