Title: USB mining machine on RP pi3 ??
Post by: Shafay on February 20, 2017, 07:59:26 AM
Will it work if I attach USB mining machines on a raspberry pi computer? Or it is likely to fail?

A Pi would need to connect to a powered hub if you plan on powering the miner through USB only.

The usb ports on a Pi are NOT for supplying power (such as charging a phone or miner).

I used minerA, and it worked great for controlling U3's and things like orbs, or g-blades.  At one time I had a CRAPton of devices hooked to one pi.  The mess of soo many orbs was insane =)
