Title: APMinerTool Compatability with 19 series
Post by: danieleither on October 19, 2020, 07:56:09 PM
My APMinerTool doesn't register 19 series units. There doesn't appear to be an option in the settings to fix this. Am I missing something?

I'm using V1.0.11 which is the latest available on Bitmain website.

I think you forgot to use the IP report button to be able to detect the miner try to press it for 3-5 seconds if it can detect your miner.

Or read the whole APminer tool User guide below how to use it.

That doesn't sound practical... the 9 series and 17 series just show up automatically. Will take a look through the manual

I agree, after all, if this was really the issue - you wouldn't be asking such a question, your question would have been something like " S19 isn't showing the local network / can't find S19's IP address", but since you are not asking these questions, it means your miners are indeed receiving IP addresses and thus the IP report button will be of no use IMO.

As far as I know, nobody here has received their 19 series gears, also the chances that you may find someone who has them and does actually use APminerTool are slim to nothing, I think you should just contact Bitmain support as this is most likely a bug in the tool or the miner itself.

I've tested on my S19-Pro and no it doesn't work. Just shows as Status: None

What does work, and does essentially the same job is BTCTools-v1.2.9.1 from btc.com (which is owned by bitmain anyway)

I wonder what has changed in the S19 series as far as the firmware/software/API level is concerned, I mean it's not like they upgrade the tool after every generation, also other software like AwesomeMiner do work on S19 as far as I can tell, also the BTCtool you mentioned above, I highly doubt any upgrade was needed by these tools, it must be something wrong with the APminer tool itself, someone should send them an email and see what they have to say.

You'd think with it being Bitmain's own tool they would a) have tested it with their current range, b) uploaded an update if it required!

Its always been one of the shittier of the tools out there, I've always used the BTC.com tool

BTC.com is owned by bitmain as well so maybe they have abandoned APMinerTool and started to focus only on BTC Tool? the latest APMinerTool version 1.0.11 has been there for 2 years if I am not mistaken, so there doesn't seem to be any upgrades of any sort regarding that tool.
