I’m following this for the info, thanks for starting…
Now let’s find a use for the CBRS bricks cinderblocks. haha
Wondering what else you can do with your old Helium IoT miner?
If you have an old Helium IoT miner and are wondering what other uses it might have, I recommend you look into converting it to a multi-miner.
Thanks to the Crankk team's firmware and documentation I was able to convert my Bobcat 300 to a multi-miner with very little effort. So now my Bobcat is still mining HNT, but also CRKK, Anyone.io, Grass and some other not quite crypto bandwidth sharing things like Honeygain. I was very impressed with how easy their instructions made the process and they have quite the list of IoT miner hardware that CrankkOS can run on as well.
I think the Bit Harvest Studio team also has similar multi-miner conversion capabilities for a number of Helium IoT miners. I decided to try Crankk first because their Bobcat conversion process worked via SD card without opening the case to access the debug USB port.
Do you know of any other options for breathing new life into old Helium IoT miners?

I too will be following this. I have the opportunity to get some old Helium IoT gear for free. If it won’t amount to anything, it will be good experience to work on.
