Title: Help with 3 Module Avalon Miner Batch 2
Post by: spilltime on December 01, 2013, 02:54:02 AM
Today I bought a miner from a friend. He told me that yesterday it quit working on him.

The Avalon powers and the front two lights come on as green and orange and stay solid.

His first guess was that the tp link router was bad. He suggested I try to replace it with a raspberry pi. I took a Pi and installed Mine-peon. When I boot the PI the screen shows error: fetching interface information: device not found.

First of all, does anyone know if the approach above will work?

Second, does anyone have any better ideas of what can be wrong?

I have absolutely 0 knowledge when it comes to an avalon miner. I tried using the existing tp link module however I could not successfully open the miners options entering the ip into my address bar. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

can you get into its web interface? You may just need to update its firmware to get it working again.
