Is cgminer supposed to be upgraded automatically when the firmware is upgraded? I just performed the firmware upgrade on one of my SP20s and it still shows cgminer 4.7.0 on the dashboard page.
Try a Reboot from the miner's home page. That's what did it (cgminer 4.8.0) for me. I've upgraded all my SP20's to firmware 2.6.1 and have done reboots on all of them. The dashboard page still shows cgminer4.7.0 . I'm running 2.6.9 on all mine and have the same issue, cgminer4.7.0 You will see 4.8 if you set the flag to 2, used to mine on nice/west hash with extranonce.subscribe enabled otherwise you will see 4.7 as you are. EDIT: Taken from nicehash ASIC guide page:You can also download pre-compiled binaries for Spondoolies SP2x and SP3x with cgminer 4.8 and extranonoce.subscribe patch and replace stock Spondoolies cgminer (instructions included in README file). Please note that this cgminer is already included in latest Spondoolies SP2x and SP3x firmware! |

@theseraphgabriel, have you already upgraded the S1 to the Kano-cgminer version https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1? If you are confident to make changes, you can use putty from your node server to access the unit. In addition there is the queue setting for both the S1 and S3 that you can change to 1 or 0 as both seem about the same but some have had better results with 0 over 1 and vice versa, this could be related to luck at the time of testing. CK the developer of cgminer suggested to use 1, some of us run 0 as well though. I am not up on the S3 units with respect to the best firmware or if BITMAIN integrated the changes that CK provided as I no longer have S3 units. If you do a search here for queue I am sure you will find abundant reading material to help you with your decision. I did find this from December about the S3 and software versions, looks like some good information for you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=750220.100Hope this helps. |

you got to be nuts a sp20 over an s5 look how much power it uses.
Specifications: Spondoolies-Tech SP20 Jackson
Hash Rate: 1.7 TH/s ± 10%, 200 GH/s per chip
Chips: 8x 28nm Spondoolies-Tech RockerBox ASICs
Controller: TI Sitara 1GHz (based on Beagle Bone Black) cgminer with custom plugins
Size: D 382mm x W 110mm x H 137 mm
Network: Single 10/100 Ethernet port
Fans: 1 X 120 mm
Power: 4x ATX PCIe
Power Consumption: 1200 W w/ a 0.9 Efficiency PSU
Ambient Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C
S5 only pulls 525 watt at 1200 Gh/s!!!
What watt meter did you use to get your information or are you just using printed specifications. I used my brothers Power meter he works for the power company I get me electric from and that's what it stated you cant get A better meter than that!!! he is a line man. That would be the measurement of the S5, was that what was used for the SP20 as well? I use a watts-up pro to measure the power, the same that we use for DC calculations it is pretty accurate an the SP20 measurement floats depending on a specific unit but they are below 600. The best part is you can under clock them so the life of the miner will be longer as you can clock down for better efficiency. I have both units and would not say that somebody is nuts for using one over the other as they both serve a specific purpose when looking at the big picture. |

That was from two days ago before the Bitcointalk hard drive problem, please see the date of posting. |

with very bad luck, the share may not even get paid once - if it is more than 500% before the next block i.e. an unlucky block that is over 500% Diff%
We've so far only had one block over 500% - it was 525%
This is looking like one of those very unlucky blocks, almost 32 hours.  5 Ph and one block per day ? You can always look at the Blockchain info https://blockchain.info if you want to see who has been been lucky and getting the blocks lately. This is known as low luck period splashed with some variance, welcome to mining. |

Well I put a miner with where my mouth is so I can do a comparison. I do see the fan speed on the Asic status page but not the main page. At least that would be a simple fix in the code. Let it run of a day and will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Edit: I assume 10 is the lowest speed at the auto mode will go as well.

both Hrm... I just hit the upgrade firmware button and it nabbed verison 2.6.1 .... any posted differences of this somewhere?
Well I can say one difference is #xnsub now works perfect out of the box and its cgminer 4.8.0 now =) woot Good job! So did you use the "2" flag or add #xnsub to the end of the URL? Good to know, thanks |

Perfect timing for a BTC conference. It should be interesting.

I did try that... the fan didnt power - but you are right. I may have had a loose connection - or a bad fan unit. I will give it another shot and see if that solves the problem - or if someone beats me to it - please post!
Strato
Just reviewed your picture and you have connected correctly that is for sure. Well let us know if you nuke it out. |

Well I got the Delta Fans up and running - special thanks to Tom and Dogie and everyone for their help! Only oddity is that the fan is not communicating with the miner dashboard - it just shows 0 speed. My temps look ok '55-59' And from what it seems the fan is just going full speed. I'm clocked at 387.5 and getting 1260ghash. I clocked it up to 400 and ran it for a few hours with no issues; but decided better safe than sorry. 425 Crashed a Blade and had to reboot. Any thoughts on why I'm not getting fan speeds? I tried reversing the two wires - but then the fan didnt work at all. Thanks again! Strato P.S. The Delta Fans are about 1/2 the noise level - so much better! Kind of sounds like a small space heater on high-- as opposed to a small shop vac.  It appears that your control lines are reversed. I know you have all black wires but I will include the color code for reference. Looking from the front of the unit left to right, the pinout is Signal from controller (BLU), RPM Signal from fan (WHT), 12+ (RED), and GND (BLK). Try swapping the first two pins and you should see the RPM and obtain fan control. EDIT: There is the possibility you just have a loose connection as well. |

That is awesome, thanks for sharing.

I see that the pinout information has been provided already so I can tell you that I used a scribe (pin will work too) to push in the locking tab to remove the pin the lifted it a little to lock in again. The locking tab is accessed in the rectangular opening of the connector. If you are uneasy about the change you can always try it out first to a power supply before connecting it to your miner. You will be very happy with these fans once you install them.How does it compare to using an S3 fan on the S5? Better or lesser cooling? Louder or quieter operation? Or perhaps, much the same? I turned on the S5 just to hear the fan and already had these pulled out of storage knowing I would be putting the on the S5 from the reviews I read. Strato bought a bunch of these to replace the stock S5 fans which is where my comment was directed at. I could not say if these would work better or worse than the S3 fans, I did not have the opportunity to try them as I sold my S3s. If you have S3 fans to use I would try them, I think there have been others who may be using them as I see inquires about that fans spec. I can say that my ambient is relatively low, never above 27C, while the blades have never been above 58C and the fans are about 60db max. I think it would be interesting to know how the S3 fans work though. Without taking a db measurement of the S3, my S5 sounds about the same as my S3 in about the same ambient temp. that is your modded s5 correct? as no way does the stock s5 sound like the s-3. Yes, the modded S5. I only ran mine stock for 5 minutes knowing it was going to be loud from reading reviews from you and others so I was ready for the pit stop change. |

Similar, but it was a handshake error every 30 seconds, or thereabouts. I would attribute the handshake error to the ports they were using. They hammered me for about 6 hours though. Port was 9333. Yeah that is what was strange with mine, they never used 9333 but some 5-digit ones that there in the reserved section. Maybe I pissed somebody off...... |

I have 43 hardware errors on one unit that has been running for over 3 days now and 0 on another that has been up for over 2 days. My minors restart on their own when they determine there is a problem. I like this feature since I can just let them run without having to continually monitor them.
Wow, thats incredible! Both have the same settings and use they same type of PS. These have been set and forget for me. Check out the stats:   |
