Title: How many antminer u1's on a USB channel? Post by: Sp00n1980 on February 18, 2014, 04:00:13 AM Hi guys, sorry if this has been covered somewhere ( I did a search and I couldn't find an answere)
How many antminer u1's can you have on a usb channel? (Assuming that the ants are on a powered hub) The reason I ask is I am looking at my old raspberry pi, and wondering how many it can handle? Thanks in advance :) Title: Re: How many antminer u1's on a USB channel? Post by: philipma1957 on February 18, 2014, 04:06:11 AM depends on the hubs at least 10-17

The Pi's USB is broken, not helped by the NIC hanging off the broken USB bus. It was designed for a keyboard and mouse, not running several Gigahashes of miners.
You'll need a USB2 hub, and most (maybe all?) of those don't provide enough power to run an Antminer U1. The Pi won't work with a USB3 hub. Title: Re: How many antminer u1's on a USB channel?

Thanks in advance :) I have one of these: http://thepihut.com/products/7-port-usb-hub-for-the-raspberry-pi It works perfectly with a Raspberry Pi and two Antminer U1s. I haven't tried more than two. It's powered by a 5 volt 2 amp transformer, so a maximum of 10 watts. It might handle four Antminer U1s. Title: Re: How many antminer u1's on a USB channel?
