Long time reader, first time poster here.
I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for all the amazing information that I find here. Right now I am running CGMINER VERSION 4.10.0 on a Raspberry Pi3. I have four Gekko 2Pacs running perfectly with their frequency set at 250. My average hash rate is 112 Gh/s. I have my 2pacs running through a Superpbag USB hub, and have had no issues since making sure the sticks were getting the right amount of power. A lot of trial and error, other USB hubs, USB y connectors etc. But the Superbpag has had a perfect run with the four sticks. I have multiple fans cooling them with some extra added heat sinks.
I got the 2pacs and had minimal experience with Linux. The help here made it easy to get it up and running and the guys running the show are very skilled and knowledgeable. The students in my classroom have become awesome at researching and learning from all of you. Their confidence has been building and they have no fear of working with hardware and software. I truly appreciate all the help and guidance here. Very informative and professional!
Sometimes we do have little issues here and there, but all seem to be easily resolved with the support and help here.
Sorry for the random post. I just was doing my daily read of the forum and wanted to chime in and say thanks to all!
I think you have a near identical setup to myself, but you're clearly a bit further along this rabbit hole than myself. I'm running two 2Pacs through the Superpbag 7 Port USB hub. I currently have them at 225 and I think that's about where I'll leave them. I may even dial them back a bit. I'm trying to figure out if they are running too hot at 225 with the fan I have on them.
Out of curiosity, where did you put the extra heatsinks?
I'll take some pictures of my setup and post them soon. I just tried to test myself and started another Rpi3 from format and included a little touchscreen. I have the setup running nicely and also set up a WPS connection for my internet.
I have one stick that is always the first to Zombie. So I used thermal adhesive and doubled the heat sink on it. It's now been mostly problem free...and I upped the power to my fans as well just in case
