Title: Working on Self Managing AntMiner Software
Post by: chuckie on March 11, 2016, 03:25:25 PM
Hi All

I've published a couple of scripts on github that you can use to automatically adjust your AntMiner config. One is called AntRota - it changes the config on an hour by hour basis (to take account of when ambient temperatures will allow over-clocking or times when you want less noise). The other is AntThrottle, which automatically reduces the clock speed if your miner gets too hot. Check it out here: https://github.com/minerchuck/AntMusic (https://github.com/minerchuck/AntMusic).

this is a good idea, sucks the s5 and s7 have a read only file system that gets reset each time its rebooted..  :(

True aarons6 - but not completey. The /config partition is not overwritten - I'm just working on figuring out passwordless ssh. If I can crack that I'll create some tools that can run externally  ;)

Perhaps go take a good look at the applicable Spondooles code (SP20E for example) and modify to work with the Antminers?

 *DO* add a USER configurable "target temp" and "max temp" setting ability though, that was my biggest gripe with the SP20E was that they had the temp limits set WAY too high for comfort when trying to push the thing and NO easy way to fix the setting.
