Title: bitmine CoinCraft Series Users Thread - Troubleshooting, Efficiency, O/C
Post by: E on March 02, 2014, 02:04:11 AM

To paraphrase jgarzik (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140539.msg1496089#msg1496089 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140539.msg1496089#msg1496089)),

Here is a general thread for owners of CoinCraft series miners (Desk and Rig)

For those waiting for deliveries or thinking about ordering, please see the Official and Unofficial CoinCraft Series threads:

Normal Boot Sequence Video
Soon...

Troubleshooting after Delivery
The fans should turn on about 5-20 seconds after you apply power. If they don't, power off and check to see if the fan cables have gotten tangled in the fan blades. Also check the fan connections close to the fans and at the controller board end.

If your miner powers on and runs through a normal boot sequence, but fails to start mining (and you've double-checked your network and cgminer configuration), check the connection between the controller board (sandwiched underneath the rPi) and the module interface board (the red board running across the top of the modules). The connection is a ribbon cable that can come unplugged at either end due to jostling from the power supply cords.

Reviews

E's capsule review: Thumbs-up with caveats. 1TH/s units so far have shipped with 240V-only power supplies. Securing internal cords, cables, and connectors before shipping would resolve most of my concerns. Some worries about power supply longevity due to negative pressure cooling.

Efficiency and Overclocking
Here are my measurements for a three module unit with 1000W Super Flower SF-1000P14XE, running on a 120V circuit (voltage at-wall about 119). All power measurements made through simultaneous V/A sampling with calibrated true RMS meters (Keithley 179A):

E please add overclocking How to.

Do I understand it right, that I have to change /mineros/boot.py?

Edit:
My miners were delivered yesterday, here is some gathered knowledge.

Delivered boxes were in good shape, miners are really heavy.

Ribbon cable was disconnected from module interface board (both miners) and module interface board was disconnected from 1-2 boards on opposite side from ribbon cable (5 module miner) even though small piece of foam was inserted between module interface board and cover.

Sometimes miner does not pick up IP address from DHCP server (on display is shown 0.0.0.0 frever), after power cycling it connects to the network.

Pool balancing in CGminer settings after restart of CGminer returns to Balance mode.

Power consumption of 5 module miner is around 1070W.

Overclocking is not worth it, power consumption rises a lot and errors too.

Some comments on the software:

The temperature display on the front panel shows the first temperature sensor - would be nicer if it showed the higher of the two.

The target and cutoff temperatures don't seem to be changeable so I can't test if they actually work. There's no fan control as far as I can tell (the fans just run at full speed I think) so I guess the target temperature doesn't do anything yet. That's no big deal. But would be nice to know if the cutoff works. I have a suspicion it isn't implemented yet - at least, I couldn't find any code in MinerOS either handling this or passing the temperatures through to cgminer. It would be nice to have a working thermal cutoff in place before warmer weather arrives.

Sometimes some of the AJAX URLs stop responding. I've had the module info disappear from the dashboard page - and also the temperatures and total speed. The odd thing is that a reboot doesn't fix this, but the dashboard does start working again eventually.

Im now waiting for delivery without PSUs, can someone post a pic of PDU or generally inside of Desk showing how power cables are connected.
Im planning to run 1TH units with two PSUs 900W & 850W. But not sure if there's PDU inside or if power cables are connected directly to modules?
Any info would be helpful.

I changed password and moved miners to hosting facility.

Now when I log into web interface of miners I get this error:

Hello all,
I have a coincraft desk from Bitmine, which mines fine using its web interface.
However I'd like to find a way to display its cgminer output. Logging to the miner using SSH I get the following processes running:

Baros suggested killing the process and restarting cgminer, but that would probably disable the web interface functionality.. All I want is to see the cgminer output. A log file would work for me as well..

P. S I agree that a SD card image is also necessary, if someone can upload one on a file hosting website or cloud drive that would be great..

Basically you can kill cgminer process and then start manually another cgminer process with your arguments according to this post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=486808.msg5417609#msg5417609, then you will see cgminer output.

If you add all command parameters as seen in /mineros/boot.py then web interface works after restart of cgminer:

Quote

cgminer -- --text-only --lowmem --bitmine-a1-options '+a1_options+' -o '+row[1]+' -O '+row[2]+':'+row[3]+' -o '+row[4]+' -O '+row[5]+':'+row[6]+' -o '+row[7]+' -O '+row[8]+':'+row[9]+' '+row[10]+' --api-allow '+row[12]+' --api-listen --queue 50 '+row[13]

Substitute row[number] with value from corresponding row on the miner settings page in web interface.

The PSU is an ATX PSU and is internal (although I'm running with my own PSU, mounted externally using various extension cables).

My (600GH/s) unit is powered as follows. 24-pin motherboard connector to the small controller board which is stacked on top of the Pi (and which powers the Pi and fans). A six pin PCI-E to each 200GH/s hashing module (three of them in my system). A standard floppy connector to power the backplane that connects the modules. From memory, I think that's it - but it's certainly all just connectors on a standard ATX PSU.

The supplied PSU (and indeed the one I'm using) are of a kind that has a physical hard power switch next to the mains lead. The controller board (and via it the Pi and display) are powered by the standby power from the motherboard connector. So when you turn on the hard power switch, the system powers up the Pi and the display, and the Desk starts to boot up on standby power (even though the PSU is really still 'off'). After the Pi boots, it then turns the ATX PSU on, and then the controller board powers up the fans and of course at this point the modules are now powered by the PSU, and the system starts up MinerOS and cgminer and starts hashing.

Hope that helps

If I understand correctly you suggest killing the cgminer process and then running again cgminer from command line?
That would probably work, but
a) I'm not sure if everything else will work (e.g. web interface)
b) If I log out, the process would kill itself. I could maybe keep it running with screen, but screen is not installed in this distribution.

By running

Code:

And there's little information on the web for this distro

'Fraid I don't have time to keep up with the official thread, so I'm hoping someone here knows:

Is there any newer firmware for the Desk yet, or is the firmware that the units shipped with the latest available?

Thanks

Okay, well if it's of any interest to anyone, this is the patch I'm now running my CoinCraft Desk with (against the original MinerOS my Desk shipped with - which may not be the same as the MinerOS that your Desk shipped with. I kept it simple - I didn't want to do more than the bare minimum to meet my needs since there might be new firmware coming soon anyway. My patch implements the following:

Front panel shows the higher temperature of the two sensors (standard code just picks the first one it finds)
Performs an emergency halt if either sensor exceeds 70C. Note:
- This doesn't power off the machine (last thing I want to do with an overheating miner is shut off the fans) but it does stop all mining.
- There's no auto-restart. The easiest way to manually restart mining once the unit has cooled down is to press the "Save and Restart CgMiner" button in the settings page of the web interface (you don't have to make any changes to settings.)
- When halted the LCD display shows the word 'halted' in place of the hash rate.
- I've not done any work on the web interface, so this simply fails to update the displayed hash rate since it can't contact cgminer. (It's fairly obvious that the system has halted though given that temperature and CPU will be much lower than normal.)
- The cutoff temperature is not configurable (except by editing the constant at the top of the code)

You're welcome to use this freely if it's any use to you but please note:

I don't support this, and can't provide assistance in applying patches
You should review the code yourself and decide whether you are happy with it
If the patch doesn't apply cleanly, it probably means your unit shipped with a slightly different version of the code than mine. You did review the code and decide you were happy with it, right?
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, and can't provide assistance in recovering from problems. (Did I say already, I don't support this.)

Hi!
I've received a coincraft a1, but it was delivered without a raspberry pi image. The asics are connected to the RPi via the GPIO, and I don't understand how to use this. Cgminer cannot find the device by default.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could upload the raspberry pi SD image for the coincraft a1 somewhere for me to download!
Thank you very much.

I received my units two days ago and those came with firmware with the same old problems, i.e. It seems there's not yet newer available.

BTW, thank you for the patch, I will take a look. Wish to get cgiminer shot down when temp exceeds set level.

So I own my CC Desk for nearly a month, and I have concluded that the linux distribution the Desks are using (yocto) is very basic and limited. (possibly for simplicity and performance reasons)
There is no package manager to install new software, even no gcc compiler, and despite my efforts, I have yet to find a way to install other useful software. (e.g. screen, no-ip)
So I'm thinking of porting to another tested linux distro for Rpi (e.g. Arch)
By running ps I get the following output

" python /mineros/minerosd.py start " run on system startup. Am I missing something?

I want my pools to be Failover, and they keep getting reset to balanced -- any suggestions?

If you select failover and click submit, it resets to balance but it works as failover. Check your pool and you will see.

hi i recived today two Coincraft Desk but one of them i cant login the web interface because no site is found.. but the device shows me mining with 1000ghash and i can also login with ssh..
can i restart the webserver or something to reset??
need to change the minig-pool

EDIT:
python /mineros/web/index.py --> does not run...
if i start it manual, i become this:

##################

Post by: bomberb17 on May 11, 2014, 04:19:30 PM

My target:
Port the whole mineros to another linux distro for the RPi (e.g. raspbian).

Why?
Bitmine's custom linux distribution (yocto) is very minimal, it doesn't have a package manager or a gcc compiler to install other software (like no-ip for remote access, cgmon for automatic restarting if cgminer hangs, screen to observe cgminer running etc.)

My steps so far:
1. Download raspbian image from http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest (http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest).
2. Write raspbian to another SD card using win32diskimager.
3. Copy the whole mineros directory to the new SD.
4. Put the new SD into the CC Desk's RPi (a bit tricky :) )
5. After booting, run

Code:

sudo apt-get update

6. Install RPIO

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install -U RPIO

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-smbus

Code:

apt-get install python-pexpect

9. Install latest cgminer (4.3.3):

Code:

sudo aptitude install git autoconf libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config yasm make libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git cgminer
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-bitmine_A1
make
make install

So after these steps, everything "should" have been set...

But my problems are:

A. By manually running cgminer:

Code:

cgminer --text-only --lowmem --bitmine-a1-options 16000:800000:8000 -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3333 -O bomberb17.worker:1234

it does not run (displays the "starting cgminer..." screen for a second then it exits). Tried without the "text-only" and/or "lowmem" options, didn't make any difference.

B.

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# python /mineros/boot.py start
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat //python (No such file or directory)
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat //cgminer (No such file or directory)

(Although by running this command, the fans start spinning and I get the display in front)

So if someone can help solve this, please post! I can also provide link to download the raspbian image with all of the above steps done to save your time, PM if you want it..

Hi !

i got the CCD 1Ths Desk and my Fault was to Update to the New Firmware ;-(

Whats wrong ?
I tested all the Settings and ONLY the "nominal" works good with 42 Hw Errors per Day.
When i choose Ultra Power Safe and Abov the Miner starts but immed. HW Errors Shown

Same if i get Turbo Mode

Then i switch to "Advance Settings"

i tried diff Settings but ONLY on 850mV+ its OK ( no HW Errors )
when i go down eg. under 800mV the massivly HW Errors , try with 650-800 mhz clock. SPi from 4000-6000-8000

when i change only MHZ and sets to 850mV always the same Hashrate.

Now it try 900mhz/850mV/6000 SPI = after 30 mins no HW Errors and 1100W out of Wall
if i go 850/900/8000 = 1400W

only when i change the mV i get other Hashrates .

Question = have anybody of you the OLD or homebrew Firmware ??
Pls help, cause i will UNDERCLOCK and if i go under 800mV then 1 Slot dont start , (faulty PSU ? )

You can PM me or leave a Link here .

Thx for Help

I have a Coincraft Dragon miner clone, with a Rasp PI that won't boot. I never liked the interface on this miner, anyway, so can anyone tell me if I can use another image to put on the SD card for a better interface with english menus?

IE are all Coincraft Dragon clones usable with the same software?

Hi E,

Your table only shows clock speeds. In the advanced Mode there are:

clock speed (Mhz)
core voltage (mV)
spi speed (Kbps)

I am quite a noob when it comes to hardware, could you explain how you set the other 2 variables for the test results you provided and how voltage and spi could affect results? I am reluctant to try without understanding and afraid to brick my miner obviously.

I have a 5 and a 3 module CCD. Heat is much less of an issue with the 3 module version btw. I can run the 3 module stable in turbo ultra with acceptable HW errors if ambient temp is <20 C. The 5 module only runs Turbo Light fine or Moderate if ambient temp is <20 C.

The SD card image can be downloaded from:

can be used for read/write with

*****************************************
Advice: buy an extra SD card 8GB for this purpose,
dont use the original.
*****************************************

What I have done is basicly make an tar copy of
/mineros/
/etc/

then installed debian on a external pi, with other SD card.
Unzipped the backup tar on the debian FS,
and debugged all day to get the dependencies right.

For convienence I have made a shell script for doing it at once.

##lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 3 08:31 K99boot.py -> ../init.d/boot.py

as You can see it will first update all dependencies,
then compile cgminer and link it all.
Afterwards 2 things still need to be done:

-auto start mineros.
for this is the backup tar of /etc needed, because of all the symlinks being used,
for ex. /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py links to /etc/init.d/boot.py,
which links to /mineros/boot.py.

Im not sure if linking it will do

##   ln -s /mineros/boot.py /etc/init.d/boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc1.d/K99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc4.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc5.d/S99boot.py
##    ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc2.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc3.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc6.d/K99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py

also executed:
cd /etc/init.d/
insserv boot.py
and changed the runtimelevel to 99 afterwards.

Still the boot.py in the mineros folder is NOT correct:

insserv: warning: script 'boot.py' missing LSB tags and overrides
To add an header use:
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

afterwards you can remove the header, otherwise python cant execute the file.

An other thing that needs configuring is WLAN (if needed)
nano /etc/networking/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-group TKIP CCMP

NOTE the 2 lines:
wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>

BITMINE:
1.
What I didnt get working is the front display showing the ip address of the WLAN interface.
It works for eth0, not for wlan0.
2.
If you look at cgminer's output, I see lot of underflow warnings. (not enough work)
Why?

ssh into machine
execute:
screen -DR

YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!

i was sitting on my Desk 1 week and try to change what i can do . ( OC / Underclock etc ... NOTHING WORKS ! really good )

Then i get an new SD Card and write your Image .

WTF HuhHuhHuhHuhHuhHuh?

everything worked !
OC = 1250 GHs on 1500Wattage
underclock
780 GHs on 750 Wattage

and so on .
AND NO HW/ Errors anymore

PERFEKTLY !

Thank you VER VERY Much , and shame on Bitmine.ch for that crappy Firmware

Thought I'd post my experiences of the three Coincraft Desk miners I received today. One of them had a faulty PCB which burnt out as soon as I turned it on (I would advise opening the miners and checking them over for obvious damage, loose connections, etc prior to turning them on):

http://s27.postimg.org/myk7v4oxf/WP_20140521_19_02_31_Pro.jpg

Ticket is open with bitmine.ch about that so we'll see what happens.

The others I am going to check over now and then turn them on, I'll post any performances I get into the thread.

And so to the second miner, I opened the case this time to check it over first, and found the control board disconnected from all the ASICs. I have one connector with bent pins and one totally broken connector:

I have a burnt pcb too but mine can still work. I fix back in leaving a small gag without touching the heatsink.
I suspect that burnt portion is cause by the heatsink. The temp should be around. 48 to 58'c no more than. 59
Put a box fan or household fan right in front of the coincraftdesk where they are sucking the air . It shild be stable when. You got your replacement.

Thanks, Bitmine.ch are already sending out a replacement PCB / backplane for the one that is totally burnt out which is a really good turn around (Already received the tracking number from UPS).

I'm waiting to hear on the other broken PCB as I don't think the ticket updated last night so have opened a separate ticket.

On another note, the final miner out of my order only has four out of five working ASICs and crashes with a segmentation fault after a few minutes.

Hi all,

I have a problem with my bitmine desk 1 TH
Since yesterday the mining is strange:

in nominal mode: only 4/5 module works !! = about 850 GH
in turbo light mode: all module works = about 1160 GH
in power save mode: 5 module works = about 930 GH

temp is about 55-60 C

Can you help me to resolve my problem please

Try to upload again the firmware, I have to do it ocne every 10 days to keep the hashpower at the maximum.

It seems to me that if the temps go too high the system disables chips that are doing too much errors, and the way to "revive" them is uploading again the firmware.

I do this also every week and most important i tried to keep modules cooled with some extra independent fans 220v some of 35W that i took from an old indoor ventilator.i made some modifications at the back side of the box where i added two fans that have powerful airflow over the modules.original two fans of unit i added at the front side to help take air out from the case area but can work well even without those two.

yes it doesn't look so estetic and some might get scared but i don't care cos i care to work stable and properly at maximum power until the balance between energy consumed and btc mined is still ok for my pocket.
i took the cover of the case out and put fans to blow air right on the modules in this way i have this result and work stable,unit is outside of course and when out is some of 22-26 celsius normal temp for summer unit not goes over 45,so is perfect.

now i have 4 modules and work like you see

every time i stop the extra fans and temp goes over 50 celsius errors start to appear and speed on the pool goes down.most important is to keep it cooled as much you can.

by the way i saw update on the site is not working anymore,is that same for you guys? ''download'' is not linked anymore.

I don't advice anyone to do what i did on my unit,that was my choice.
but you can do whatever it takes to cool it without to modify the case.
if you run it outside you can try to take up cover and put near one indoor ventilator to push airflow right over the modules,there are many options just use your head and your both hands.
what i want to say it that if temp senzor will show you 60 celsius belive me then the pieces from the other side of the radiators of modules are more hot than 60,just do a test try to keep one finger over one integrat piece or to one little radiator on the back side and you will see it's on fire,big part aluminium of the radiator on the senzor place is not so hot.

use something like this to bring cold air from somewhere over the unit modules if you have the chance ,will make the difference

how about HW errors ?

pls goto logs/cgminer and see what is your HW error.

Hi Guys, my experience with CCD . . .

i have a 5 module unit came with SF 1200W plat PSU, 3 out of 5 modules are pretty normal low HW errors but the other 2 are high. no idea why. of course the lower the hash rate (settings) the lower the HW error. mining @ eligius miner side & pool side are consistent.

currently running on FW 201404251907

Settings are 825mhz/850mV/4000spi hashing between 1020-1055 gh/s avg temps are about 41 deg C , sensors are relocated at the hottest part/module. my modules are out of the case for improved cooling + noise reduction reasons.

log from cgminer.

Nice work there.i was thinking to get modules out of the box and run them like that but as are still enough cold i think is fine.don't want to lose more time with all those modification while dif grows like hell.
i dig on Eclipse with those 4 modules and average si 0.035-0.040 btc /24 hours.

today just got an issue,at 50 celsius one module is broken i think.
in turbo ultra looks like this :

Module 1 => 247.27 Gh/s
Module 2 => 89.37 Gh/s
Module 3 => 239.76 Gh/s
Module 4 => 244.03 Gh/s

i did new sd card image recover cooled all modules even when is at 25 celsius don't go more than 100gh module #2.so i guess is broken.bad news for me as anyway no chance to even think at any ROI.i think soon i will just shut it down and move forward.i jumped too late in this bitcoin world and more failed with this machine than any success.

Post by: yslyung on June 16, 2014, 04:14:59 AM

someone pm'ed me with some problems but imo, i think it can be fixed....

btw here is my reply

as far as i know & with my experience this is what i can advise you to do.

1. again n again, pls make sure all, i mean ALL connections are connected to where they belong. 1 of my miner was not hashing after i swapped SD cards then i realised 1 connector was not properly connected then all was ok !

2. i had 1 blade out of5 was hashing 20ghs slower ??? i was like , a chip is broken ??? checked here and there, HW is fine. it was the software part ! i set the voltage to 850mv then all blades was hashing well at same advertised speed & to my surprise, there was lesser HW errors.

3. add 2 more fans at the front of intake. i bought a 4 pin fan splitter & used a good double sided tape. that should keep the miner cooler. the cooler the better. i swapped the original fans to the front cuz my new fans (delta 4400 rpm) are alot more powerful at the back to suck the hot air out.

hope you fixed your problem. pls let me know or post on the thread if you need more help or discovered something new that can help others too.

oh and also maybe try to swap sd cards or upload a new firmware. i had a problem, the miner hashes away but i can't login to the machine to configure. so i swapped sd cards, it was ok but then i still can't login. solution, i formatted sd card, upload new image & before plugging it in, i reset my router & pc then plug in boot everything up & voila everything works fine now. so far so good.

and also make sure the screws holding the blades are heightened up properly. check the heatsinks too. i used super glue to glue it back in place. it comes loose easily.

i did the raise the backplane connecting all 5 modules by a little so it does not touch the heatsinks to prevent a burn onit. thx for the tip !

Module 4 => 207.82 Gh/s
i tried everything
i tried even to run miner only with one module one by one in function.the one i mention is at low hash power everytime and only that one ,others work well.
thank you for help.

is all good anyway,i will roll like this,that module i got it from bitmine later after i received my miner with 3 modules.they sended me this one in plus because of delays i had to compensate me,but looks like i had bad luck with this one.anyway 50ghash in plus are good also LOL if more is not possible.

Hi !

first Shot :

Try all Settings from PowerSafe to Turbo

Does it even change the Amount of GHs per Unit ?

When nothing changes and at every Settings the Amount of GHs ( mostly 200+ ) the same then change the SD with a newly Software written .

As i remember i had the same Problem ( ok not really the same cuase all my Boards work ) but always at th same Speed .

Then i get an new SD an write the Firmware/ Software from User:atta2k5 ( see above the Guide ) and insert it . THEN it works .

ok , then Software is good.

What if you change the PSU Cables from Modules or try only the defektive Board alone on the PSU (with an PSU Cable that worked on the other Boards )?

Edit : witch Type of PSU you got ? i mean its possibly that PSU doesnt match with amount of Boards.

root@raspberrypi:/# cgminer --text-only --lowmem --bitmine-a1-options 16000:800000:8000 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -O username_CCD1:1234 -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -O username_CCD1:1234 -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -O username.home1:password --failover-only --api-allow W:127.0.0.1 --api-listen --queue 50 --quiet

After hashing for about a minute, cgminer dies with a segmentation fault.

This may be a software issue?

I tried the following:
Replaced the sdcard with a different one - imaged from a working machine. Still get "segmentation fault".
Replaced the Raspberry Pi with a new one, using the new sdcard. Still get "segmentation fault".

Any ideas?

Maybe it was the psu , try by hashing on 2module or one module first , unpluge the rest of the cable to the module and see what happen? Look at the backplane if there is any burnt sign

Bitmine arw supposed to make new versions of firmware available here:
http://bitmine.ch/support/firmware/

However, they don't list the latest firmware there and also I can't find a download link. Since I received my Desks recently I decided to image the latest firmware from one of my Desk units so other people could upgrade if they wanted to.

My 2 Satoshis about your situation:
1) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That is, don't upgrade. We don't know what improvements are in the latest firmware because Bitmine haven't documented it (if someone knows, please let me know).
2) If you do want to upgrade, buy a good quality 8GB SDCard and put the upgrade image on that. If anything goes wrong, just put the old SDCard back in.

All of three works fine for onlny one day, till today.
With two of them i just turned it off and when I want turn it on again they started, i can conected to them via lan i see dasbord but it shows 0gh/s speed. On screen also 0gh/s speed:(

I tried many times turn of and turn on and nothing changed:(

Bery similar but different situation with third 1th/s miner. It mined and turn off in night. When I woke up and wanted to turn on it started but after start there is also 0gh/s in screen and i. dashboard.

Pls help and give me any idea and advice what to do?
Is there any hard restart on power suply?

Open up each unit and check that all cables are secure. What I found with all my units is the red connector PCB that goes across the top of the modules was slightly disconnected from some modules.

While you're in the machine, be careful about electro-static shock damage - be sure to earth yourself and try not to touch any chip pins or PCB tracers, the static electricity from your hand could fry something. Also make sure the power supply is off and power off at the wall too.

Hi guys,
just a quick feedback for you: the 1500 Platimax PSU installed on my (first batch) Coincraft Desk is dead, is on short-circuit.

Basically the magnetothermic (you know, the over-current protection thing) switches off if I try to connect the cable of my Desk to the wall.
Of course if I shut down the small switch behind the Platimax everything is fine.

Any other of you had the same issue? Do I have to buy a new PSU to keep mining?

Thanks...

Hello, I have the same problem as Zelek Uther mentioned here before. The miner starts hashing and then slowly dies after a few minutes.
After rebooting I can start it again with the same result....after a few minutes it just stops hashing.

I still have this issue on one miner. I've tried different SDCards, different firmware (including Debian Desk from a forum user), I have even swapped out the RaspPi. Still have the same issue where cgminer fails with a segmentation fault. I see this by invoking cgminer from the command line.

What I'm trialling now is running just one module at a time. I unplugged the PCIe cable from every module except the first one, and it ran fine on one module for 24 hours. Power down, try the same with just module 2... and so on. I run each for at least 24 hours as a test. Still working through this. Then I'll try two modules... then three etc until I can run stable with as many as possible.

I've run each module by itself, then combinations of two, then three, and finally have it hashing stable on four modules.

So the result of my troubleshooting is that I have to leave one module unplugged (PCIe cable disconnected).

What PSU are you running for the five modules?

I bought three 1 TH/s units (each had five modules) and originally I had three broken backplane boards which were replaced. I then had the issue of four boards running at full speed with one at 25 - 29 GH/s.. This was fixed by replacing the stock 1000W PSU with a 1250W PSU then putting the miner into 'turbo moderate' - This kicked the final module into life, cleared my segmentation faults and I am hashing at 1 - 1.1 TH/s on two of the units.

Still need to solder on a capacitor to one of the replacement miner boards I received (had to ship two back for repairs) as they arrived with broken heatsinks :-(

I've just received two Coincraft Desks, both with 8 modules.

I've just been looking to see what can be done to overclock these, but two things are holding me back so far:

1. The temperature gauge on the LCD panels of both units reads 0.0C. Obviously wrong... any idea why for both of these units there would be no temperature data being displayed?

2. There is no option to change the power mode. On the mining page is just says: "Device speed is factory calibrated to the best possible setting.".

Any suggestions folks? ???

Thanks.

Well, funny you should ask that.

I ordered desks... but handles on front, couple of little brackets in the box. Look more like I would expect rigs to look.

I'm being unintentionally dense. They've physically got 4 modules each, so ergo are Desks not Rigs.

Its just because as I was typing, the dashboards were up in front of me, which report 8 modules, even though it appears that physically there are 4 cards in each.

i think that mean -> you've got 4 modules per desk -> with 8 chips per module -> 32 chips each miner -> per chip 31,25 gh/s -> its like "turbo mode"

i have the "old" desks -> with 40 chips each miner.... -> per chip 25 gh/s in normal mode....

it can be possible that this miners are not oc compatible -> but i'm not sure

Hello, thank you for this nice information base.
Two weeks ago I owned a pre-owned CoinCraft with 5 modules and an ANTEC 1000W PSU.
I decided to upgrade the PSU to an LEPA 1600W.
After connecting it and switching it on, the PSU knocked two times. I unpluged all connections except the mainboard connector and switched it on again...
I saw smoke and realized, that the connectoin on the PBC-Board from PIN 24 to C18 to C16 burned!
Since that its not possible to start the unit, neither with the original ANTEC PSU.
http://i57.tinypic.com/2s7866c.jpg.
Now I will try to fix the PBC board, but I don't know the function of the capacitor and the resistor.
So please help me with this questions:
Could this be an issue with the PSU-ON-Pin? Is there a difference between the ANTEC and the LEAP PSU?
Is it possible to buy a new PBC from anywhere if I can't fix it?
What did I made wrong?

Many thanks for your help!

The LEPA 1600 is a multi-rail PSU with six 12V rails (4 x 30A and 2 x 20A). However only four 12V 30A rails are accessible as PCI-e. Plus you need to pick the correct connectors to make sure you don't plug 2 PCI-e cables into the same rail. The Desk needs five PCI-e cables, so for the fifth cable you need to make a custom PCI-e cable connected to one of the remaining 12V rails, which by the way are only 20A rails.

Chances are you did something wrong while doing this.

Post by: invain on August 16, 2014, 08:35:20 AM

Today, it's a good day ;D - I'm back in action.
What I did:

Thanks to the information by Soros Shorts and wolke, I checked the PSU-cables.
There are many differences regarding the connector-settings of ANTEC and the LEPA.
So the failure was to use the ANTEC cable-management cables with the LEPA- so i shot through the PS-ON Pin to much Power.
What happened:
1. The Raspberry PI died an heroic death, because it got more than 5V and plenty more current.
2. Like on the picture of the last post, some parts and connections of the PCB died.
So I tested again and figured out, that the connection between the socket of the PS-ON-pin was broken.
I solved this with an quick and dirty modification:
http://i59.tinypic.com/2daatki.jpg
After some more tries, I figured out that the PS did not start. So the PS-ON circuit was probably damaged.
I fixed this with an paperclip between GND and PS-ON as bypass.
The new spare Raspberry PI started again!!! (Was glad to own one!!)

After installing and connecting all together and do a test-run I was very very very lucky:
Mining again, all units working ;D ;D ;D

BUT I really think that the overheat-shutdown doesn't work regarding to the damages (I don't really care).

Thanks for your help, maybe this helps some one who made the same (facepalm) mistake like I did.

I had a 3-module 600gh/ CCD and I got another module 1 month ago so I went up to 800gh/s. I installed it and the desk was running fine at 800 - 850gh/s @ turbo moderate. But today suddenly one of the modules stopped working (can't tell if it is the new one or one of the other old ones). The "missing" module simply does not appear in the dashboard webpage. I have tried the following things:
-rebooting
-killing cgminer process through ssh and restarting cgminer manually, cgminer itself displays only 3 modules
-selecting all of the power modes (from power save ultra through turbo ultra)

None worked.
I also don't get the temperature on the dashboard any more.

Ok I finally managed to get physically to my miner.. I opened it and everything looked fine by visual inspection. No melted stuff, everything in place.
So I started experimenting, tested one module at a time, moved them around in different positions on the backplane and tested all of the PSU power connectors. I concuded that one of the modules is faulty. I removed it from the CCD.
Will contact bitmine and see if they can offer a replacement.

Also the temperature sensor still does not show up on the web interface. I also noticed that on the lcd screen, when I power up the miner it stays on the "Loading minerosd.." message and it does not display the hashrate, IP and temperature. This looks a software problem to me though.

use a small screwdriver to dig out the melted plastic carefully then replace pcie cable, it should hash again. advise is to set it to power save mode and gets u about 960ghs or so. improve cooling too.

Thank you for the reply.
I have to change them, they are damaged. After a long search I found the right ones (maybe).

Anyone ever have problems using thei Bitmine Coincraft Desk G2's on the Eligius pool?

I set it up correctly, it gets work, no errors, but the pool it not seeing the miner nor the work it is performing. Switch it to Ghash.io and every thing work as it should.

Anyone run into this or have any ideas?

Thanks.

A few hours ago it stopped hashing again, rebooted, the same problems again with module 1. Anyone?

I have a 3 modules CCD and one of them was unstable in normal and light overclocked ("turbo") modes. Strangely (probably because of the voltage increase) I had to switch to moderate overclocked to get all 3 modules hashing around 230 GHS each.

I have no clue how to start hunting for a capacitors lol

It is not the firmware, it is the software. Mine have shown random characters on and off since I purchased -- it is harmless

The cgminer is also turning off every 30mins, can't change hash speeds anymore, and temperature control is stuck at 30 goal and 35 off.

Question!
Has anyone kinda broke the coin craft program and updated it. Like the cgminer or even the display code?

Just curios!

Hello everybody !!!
My name is Alexander.
I have a little problem. May be someone know the answer.

My coincraftdesk doesn't start.
The psu fan starts just for a one second when I turn the miner on and then nothing works except
rasberry pi.
The raspberry continues to work, it gets ip, andI can connect to it by browser.
I can see all logs.
In dashboard I can see no modules.

Link with the logs http://pastebin.com/DHfHprm0

Have somebody had the same ?

Thanks !!!

I got a similar issue that was solved by changing the power supply.
If it was working and suddenly stopped working, you can try swapping the PSU.
You can start by checking if the interface board connected to each hashing board is seated correctly.
if it doesn't help, try the PSU.

and just in case, reflashing the SDcard could help, it seems that they are sometimes losing some data.

Hey guys
i think i have a simple problem with my CC A1, i can't log in the webinterface because i have no logininfos. I've bought it used via ebay and after it destroyed my router and my whole network (6 miners shutted down because the network was deleted) and a complete new programming of my router i came to the webinterface of the miner BUT now he asks me for a username and a password which i not have, how cvan i get this cleared to come in the miners interface and set the ip to my network? Thanks for every help and Infos.

so i test the new clocking options, these are the results that i get:

power save ultra
~710 Watt = ~740 GH/s
0,95 Watt per GH/s

power save moderate
~770 Watt = ~808 GH/s
~0,95 Watt per GH/s

power save light
~940 Watt = ~940 GH/s
~1 Watt per GH/s

normale mode
~1040 Watt = ~1020 GH/s
~1,01 Watt per GH/s

turbo light
~1140 Watt = ~1080 GH/s
~1,05 Watt per GH/s

turbo moderate
~1330 Watt = ~1140 GH/s
~1,16 Watt per GH/s

turbo extreme
not testet, because the system starts for a second and than go down... i think it can be a problem with the psu, i musst test it

the HW in alls mode are under 1 % -> i get this result with the tool "cgremote"...

Ähm, ich bin ganz Ehrlich. Ich habe vor ca. 4 Wochen mit nem Bitfury angefangen und mich dann über nen U3 zu 4x S1, 1xS3+ und dem CC A1 gearbeitet. Ich wusste gar nicht, bis Gestern, das es ein CC A1 ist, ich suchte in einem anderen thread von Lktec Geräten. Ich schoss mir über das Wochenende den Router ab, welcher mich selbst nur noch als Gast reinlässt, da er jegliche Kennwörter von mir verweigert sei es die Werksseitigen oder meine Konfigurierten. Ich werde wohl nicht drumherum kommen mir einen neuen bei Vodafone anzufordern :/ Jedoch will ich die Miner möglichst laufen lassen denn Zeit ist ja in dem Fall Geld. Der CC A1 wurde von mir über Ebay von einer Verkäuferin verkauft, mit dem Hinweis es müsse ein Kühlkörper neu geklebt werden, 2 Lüfter eingesetzt werden und eben ein Netzteil. Sollte keine Schwierigkeit darstellen dachte ich :D Er kam, ich verbaute die Lüfter und ein 950 Watt Netzteil (Ja ist viel zu wenig habe aber auch nur 3 Blades angeschlossen) und klebte den Kühlkörper mit Thermalpaste. Wollte ihn Konfigurieren und wollte meine Netzwerk IP Range auf die des Miners angleichen, drückte enter und Booom, alle Netzwerke weg. Wireless Controller für Laptop sowie PC musste ich neu Installieren und der Router musste mehrmals in der NAcht neugestartet werden seitens von mir seitens von vodafone mit denen ich per smartphone für teuer Geld über Stunden das PRoblem suchte aber nicht fand :/. Mitten in der letzten Nacht packte mich die Wut und ich rupfte jedes noch so kleine Verbindungskabel auseinander und setzte wirklich alles was technisch im Netzwerk war/ist neu auf und das Schritt für Schritt. Mein S3+ läuft zum Beispiel immer noch nicht, er fuhr runter und seitdem meint er er mined aber Slush sagt "Nö hier kommt nix an". Also auch noch Arbeit mit dem ding welches ich als das zuverlässigste einstufte :(. Wie dem auch sei laufen drei S1er an einem 100 Watt server netzteil zu je 2x Pci plugs und ein 950 Watt netzteil habe ich im A1 verbaut, welches aber nur 3 Blades ansteuert. zu den Daten die ich mit meiner Erfahrung und momentanen Kenntnis über dieses Teil machen kann, wie folgt: Temperatur: 00:39 07.03.16 8,1°C wobei ich mir an den blades die Finger verbrenne ... Leistung: trotz 3 Blades nur konstant um die 400 Ghash den rest muss ich mir kenntnistechnisch erst erarbeiten, bitte um verständnis das ich grad froh bin das sie laufen. Beinahe ein Daragon Miner Image aufgespielt und wahrscheinlich alles geschrottet.

So I've been mining non-stop with my CCD for over 2 years! Working flawlessly since then at normal settings (no O/C), except for 1 non-functioning module which brought me to 600GH/S from 800GH/s..

LOL

Same here been mining with 1 for over 2 years, and also lost 1 hashing board so i got 800GH/S instead of 1000

My antminers and LKETC miners havent lost a single board or chip and work under pretty extreme conditions :D

My point is that although bitmine was a problematic company which eventually became bankrupt, their miners proved reliable through time.

P.S. One of the two fans also stopped working.

Once Bitmine.ch finally paid attention to what had already been well documented in the A1 chip dev thread about heatsinking and the importance of a decent Vcore regulator design -- like makers of the Dragons and Dragon clones did -- ja the their A1 rigs worked well. Far to-little-much-too-late.

If they had had competent VR circuit and PCB designers along with paying attention to thermals they could have finally started filling orders months earlier. The set of hash boards that Joshua Zipkin (now aka Joshua Alexander) owner of AMT (Bitmine's only Authorized USA dealer and using their PCB's) finally sent me in June 2014 for forensics covered Bitmine's revisions from late Jan up to June. All were riddled with the exact same major design flaws.
