Title: Best way to monitor 2+ mining rigs on one monitor wirelessly.
Post by: MrThePlague on March 31, 2013, 06:08:39 PM
Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm sure it's a simple answer to a simple question asked so many times before.

This week I'll finally start mining. I'll have 2 rigs for starters, both of which I want to keep in the basement, and monitor them in my office upstairs on one of my three monitor setups. Trying to see the best way to achieve this.
What I've figured out so far is just hooking the rigs up downstairs, ether net is not an issue, wireless KB/M setup through a KVM, but the only issue with this setup is physically going downstairs each time I want to press the monitor switch on the KVM. Any alternatives so I can completely monitor my 2 (and soon to be more) rigs without leaving the office?

Thanks in advance, I know there is something simple I just overlooked.

+1 for Teamviewer

It is easy to log in to and very responsive.

(Only issue I have ran into is: I get blue screens if I remote in for more than 15 minutes at a time. I don't know why, but it is most likely noob user error and not something wrong with teamviewer itself)  ::)

I would personally go with logmein but teamviewer is probably better for your needs since it's completely free and perfect for monitoring a small group of computers.

Teamviewer is the way to go.

You can even monitor from a smartphone.

Personally I use tight VNC

I can disable login and make it accessible only from LAN so I double click shortcut and I already see what's going on on my other PC. Fast and conveniant! You can use login + dyndns / portforwarding if you plan to monitor from the interwebz

Does teamviewer work on ARM cpus like the rPi?

TightVnc is the way to go when it comes to monitoring the rPI
