Ok.

But right now when I run them at 200 MHz I only get around 9 GH.

You can google the 2PAC BM1384 USB Setup Guide PDF if you don't find it at the top of post, the chart is at the bottom of the document.

The screw adjusts the voltage on the stick, the stick voltage can be measured with a multi-meter detailed elsewhere in this post.

I got that tester device as well, so far as I can tell, it will return USB port electrical values, like how many amps are provided at which voltage, great for checking the condition of a port and info for calculating how much time it will take to charge a device and so on. I don't think it measures the power requirements of a device though. I just got it, so I'm still figuring it out myself.

Reading this post thoroughly, and completely, will take a bit of time, but really does answer pretty much all questions! That with a bit of googling really can get your build going!

Also that left stick with no screw is, well, screwed (yes I know bad dad pun), don't think you will be able to properly adjust the voltage or get any for that matter. IDK more knowledgeable people than myself could confirm.

Hmm, I did ask where to read the chart. I asked how do I read the chart?
44  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: November 17, 2017, 03:02:56 PM
I think at the left stick the screw is missing.

The USB voltage doesn´t change if you turn the potentiometer. So you won´t be able to see that on your tester.
Turn it clockwise, for at least the one stick, that has a screw and check if the HW errors are less.
Alternatively you can run the stick with 50 MHz and see if it works.

Oh, I thought that was for controlling the "power" for the stick.

How do I read the chart of power draw?
If I run the stick with 200 MHz how much power is used?
45  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: November 17, 2017, 09:56:05 AM
I can see I have a lot of HW failures.
Is this because it does not get the power it should have?
Try turning up your ASIC voltage. The pot is located on the backside of the stick in the right bottom corner right next to the USB port. Try turning it clockwise until the flat side is at 3 o´clock. If you are still getting HW errors turn it further until there are no HW errors anymore.

I have tried what you wrote and I bought myself a USB safety tester, but when I turning ASIC voltage clockwise nothing happens. No matter what I do, it just sticks to the same numbers as you can see in the picture.


Another thing is that on 1 of my sticks the voltage is not there anymore.

I have been running 2 2PAC for 3 days on my 2.0 USB Hub with a fan.

I haven't been able to babysitting them as they are located at my work.

When I started it looked as they where running. No hardware failure (HW), I guess HW is hardware failure, right?
I just ran the CGMiner with the --gekko-2pac-freq 200 on my 2PAC out of the box.

Now 3 days after it looks like this:



I can see I have a lot of HW failures.
Is this because it does not get the power it should have?

47  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: November 10, 2017, 11:28:41 AM
Sorry for asking.

But how do you setup the Mhz on these devices?
What is the parameters you can add to CGMiner?

So you're trying to compile it for Windows and then run it on the Linux build for a Pi, instead of compiling the Linux build on the Pi?

No no, my friend. Smiley
I just wanted to do this windows thing to see it works.
52  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: October 11, 2017, 05:28:01 PM
Yes, that I found out and I'm and running with it.

But I would like to have et run on my RPi3.
How do you set it up on that?
Is it the Raspbian Stretch with desktop or is it Raspbian Stretch Lite you install on the RPi?

Does the windows installation in post #2 still work?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.msg17624477#msg17624477

======================
= cgminer on Windows =
======================

(!)... If you have access to linux, use the mxe based cross compile example in the post above.

(!)... If you just want the windows executable, read a little past the cross compile section in the post above for a pre-built cgminer.exe.


Building the cgminer.exe binary for windows on windows can be a bit tricky (not for beginners).

Follow the steps below in exact order.  If a step fails, most steps after it will fail also.

Once you have a successful binary, zip up the whole C:\MinGW folder for safe keeping.  
Chances are these instructions won't work, as is, a few months from now due to normal updates, but you might still be able to git pull and build updates.

Environment Used:
Windows 7, (should work for all WinOS supported by MinGW & Git)
MinGW Installation Manager (0.6.2-beta-20131004-1 - Tested)
Git for Windows (2.11.0 - Tested)



MinGW Installation Manager
http://www.mingw.org/ : Download installer : mingw-get-setup.exe

    Install Options:
    default all - "C:\MinGW\"
    Mark for installation - "mingw-developer-toolkit", "mingw-base"
    Installation -> "Apply Changes"

From Windows Explorer: (or you'll get errors later)
C:\MinGW << Security (Edit)<< Users << Full Control  
    
Paste the following into Windows+R to get a MINGW32 shell and init the home directory: "C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat"

From MINGW32 shell:
Code:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/git/bin:/opt/git/mingw64/bin:/opt/git/usr/bin/' > ~/.profile
mkdir /opt
exit

Install Git for Windows
https://git-for-windows.github.io/

    Install Options:
    "C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\opt\git"
    "Use Git from Git Bash only"
    default everything else -->>>
    

Return to MINGW32 shell and complete the build.

Small question.

Could someone explain how I setup my RPi to run with my 2 2PACs?
Is it the Raspbian Stretch with desktop or is it Raspbian Stretch Lite you install on the RPi?

I have hooked my 2PACs onto my powered hub. The same as the one NotFuzzyWarm has.

READ IF YOU HAD PROBLEMS

Having 0.8.1 or 0.8.0 please update the code (I made some changes just now):

Code:
cd /var/www/minera
sudo git fetch --all && sudo git reset --hard origin/master

Then, delete the profitability data (the 1 minute cron job should get it again):

Code:
redis-cli del coins_profitability

Now go to your Minera via browser and make sure to reload it forcing to reload the cache (hold SHIFT key and click reload button).


I have one 2PAC from GekkoScience and a RPi3. I have used this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQndxAfk-hM to install the hardware with Minera.

I had some issue that it was spinning so I follow the command above. It all went well.

But it seems that it's not working as it should.



There is not much real log view of my log. It just show 2017-10-02 even that I have startet it today.

57  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread. on: October 02, 2017, 10:18:02 AM
I trying to understand this, if you have max 3 2PACs sticks, this hub will be able to complete the task by adding them to Ports 2, 4 and 6.

https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Charging-Adapter-Support-Android/dp/B00L2LK164/

If you have more than 3 then it's a hub like this that have to be used:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KPOEX9O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



You could also get two of the pluggable hubs and run them from one Pi, but yes, you're right. I'm using the 20 port one to run 7 2PACs .
Thank you for your answer.
Has it been confirmed that you can more than 1 pluggable running from 1 Pi?

Can the 20 port run more than 7 2PACs?

Can you add a picture?

How do you read the charts?

If I use the exampel 0.11*Mhz=GH

0.11 * 150 = 16.5 GH

How much watts do I use?


=================
=Expected Performance=
=================
The expected performance of the 2Pac is 0.11*MHz=GH.  For example, 150MHz gives 16.5 GH (theoretical expectation).

Rough chart of power draw:




If you want to run at 150Mhz, then look down the 150Mhz column. The watts you will use depend on the voltage you have it set to.  You probably want to run at the lowest voltage that doesn't get HW errors, and according to that chart 1.26V -should- be ok and will draw 5.27watts or 1.05amps.

How do you control the voltage?

NO SYSTEM IP SHOWN

Hi,

Hope someone can help. I am trying to intall Minera on a Raspberry Pi 3 and I have installed the img on an SD card. The img loads and I can login but no system IP is shown and nor does the Pi show in the list of attached devices on my router.

I have booted the pi using Raspbian (NOOBS) and this connects to WiFi fine (though I had to disable IPV6).

I have tried fiddling with dhcp settings, assigning a static IP, disabling IPV6, etc. but no luck. Any ideas?

I am pretty new to Linux so it's a little painful at the mo.

Cheers in advance for any help.

Unfortunately new Raspbian release has new way to connect to WiFi. I have to investigate and update the link

Are you trying to work with Wifi or Ethernet?

WiFi:-)

Please check this https://github.com/getminera/minera/wiki/Configure-Wifi
And this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

I have installed the new image and I can't connect with WiFi even though I following the link above.
When I want to edit /etc/network/interfaces I see this:

# interfaces( 5 ) file used be ifup( 8 ) and ifdoen( 8 )

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

I don't see that in the link
