Edit:  You might also consider excluding the process (cgminer.exe) in Defender's Setup as well if Defender is shutting down a running miner.

yes i this certainly does happen. i wake up and cgminer is closed. thanks for this!

What's your controller setup? Because at 250MHz you should be seeing 110GH each.

this is what i have for 2 of my pods running off of 1 laptop (win 7) no hubs, powered via pcie. i have similar results on my other set up which is 2 pods off of one laptop (win 10) via the included bricks. its just not running atm because for some reason something in win10 dont like cgminer (windows defender or something) so ill be changing it to win7

Well you see, your 10A power strip will handle 10A at 120V

But the power brick is outputting up to 6A at 12V. If you check the input specs, it's less than 1A at 120V.

Which means not only can you run more than one, you can run about a dozen.

Take a quick look at the formulas behind electrical power for a better "why".

wow i really should have paid more attention in high-school! thanks for that! its 220-240V from where i live, im assuming that really doesn't change anything? I will certainly try when i get home from work! thank you!

wait so i should be able to in paper? i honestly dont know electronics.

*edit: added in paper

I know that the (optional) bundled bricks are --rated-- at 6A, but what are people finding for an actual usable rating?

I've got 2 pods up and running. I started them off with the default settings in cgminer and they ran with no issues for a day at 200MHz.  At that point I decided to see if they would go a little higher so I upped it to 225MHz.  As soon as it ramped up to 225MHz one pod dropped back to 200MHz and would repeat going up and down.  The second pod followed a little after.  Thinking it might be the tipping point of the power supply, I tried lowering the voltage adjustment.  Dropping it slightly allowed both pods to run at 225MHz and that was the highest they would go.


hello! i can run one stable at 250mhz using the bricks. if i more than one it then behaves like your one. I plug mine in a power strip that says rated 10A so in my head i just accepted the fact that i wont be able to run 2 pods off of one strip.

They're getting choked out somewhere. That's about the speed one would expect from 200MHz. Try setting them at 200MHz and see if it stays about the same or goes down.

My guess is, you'd have to divide them amongst two controllers or something in order to get full throughput (and about 107GH) to all devices.

I have the six connected to a powered usb hub. i removed 4 now there are 2 connected to that hub and they seem to perform better. im guessing the hub's throughput is the bottleneck.

when i get home i will plug another 2 directly into the old laptop that i use as a controller and see whats going to happen. ill also try using 2 cheap unpowered usb hubs and see whats going to happen. (like the ones at '$2 shop' or something')

I did notice a slight increase when I switched to the PCIe connector instead of the barrel connector. More stable current to the chips maybe?
It also does fluctuate for me but not that low and the fact that all of  yours are around the the high 80GH/s to low 90GH/s would not mean "luck of the draw". I would try to separate just one miner on it's own system/controller to see what it ramps up to. That way you can rule out that it's the POD but maybe the controller.

i do run them via a PCIe connector. Corsair GS800 to be more specific, although i still dont know if i should buy of those kits from parallel miners that comes complete with the server psu, breakout board and cables. i mean whats the difference right? even if on paper it can deliver more watts to the pods, the pods themselves cant handle more maxing out at >250mhz (in a stable manner) :thinking:  aside from other things like longevity of the power supply and all that other stuff

Somebody had asked how to set up more than one Terminus on a single power supply. Here is a pic of mine running on a 200 watt adjustable supply using the PCIe connectors (very solid connection). Testing with a small fan mounted over the Regulator on the right one to keep it cool.
237.50Mhz / 98-103GH/s each.


hello,

how are you getting more gh/s than me when i clock mine higher than yours?

is it just my luck on the with the chip draw or is it something of my doing?? thanks in advance Smiley

...
Failed to create restart thread errno=12 in cgminer.c restart_threads():5063
... It was up to being the 229th device in cgminer.  ...

It's unhealthy for that number to continually climb.   
The system will eventually prevent new resources from being allocated..

Get the other devices going in its own cgminer with command line option --usb :1, (or total devices - 1) while you work on that last one.
   
As i mentioned a couple of post back, it would be better to test/tune it isolated.


can this be done with linux? running multiple instances of cgminer for different devices

How would I run multiple Terminus R808 using the one power supply?
You would need a breakout board and 6pin to 6pin power cables. one 750 watt power supply would be enough to run around 10 - 11 Pods around 225Mhz (60 watts each)
[/quote]

can i get any server psu with any breakout board?


like this one

and maybe this one

Hi! is it to be expected that i wouldn't be able to 2 pods off of one regular power strip (rated at 10A as it says on the bottom)

i did some googling and 60w = 5 amps so that will be 10 amps already  without the hub and the controller (laptop)

it will confirm how i am able to run them stable plugged in directly to the wall (separate) but not together on one strip

thanks!

what a thing of beauty  Shocked Shocked
12  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Who likes pod miners? on: February 18, 2018, 09:41:18 PM
now that the product is finalized and almost ready to ship out, can you please provide the full dimension of the pods? i.e. Len x wid x height

I know for a fact that the 2pacs does not really play nice with USB3 ports. Is it going to be the same for the terminus pods?

I'm using a usb3 hub with no issues, I have 10 2pacs on it at 200mhz.

really?? Lucky you. I remember something about Intel USB3.0 drivers or was it VIA drivers that doesnt really gel well with the 2pacs. i am going to try and find the forum post after work.


Here is my USB 3.0 hub:





This is the post that i was referring to. i guess using a USB 3.0 Hub is a different story

What is the estimated price for the pods?  Grin
One million Euros

he said its going to be around 65 dollars each. but that was ages ago
17  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Who likes pod miners? on: November 04, 2017, 01:23:48 AM
i cant wait! by the way, would i be able to run the pods along with the 2pacs on the same controller?
18  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Who likes pod miners? on: July 16, 2017, 09:07:38 PM
Thanks for the update sidehack! Looking forward to it Cheesy

I don't understand what you said.

i think what he meant was, he wants to remove his bid, but would still want to help out
20  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: June 28, 2017, 07:43:07 PM
Based on your screenshot: should be something to the effect of "apt-get install libncurses5-dev".
If it's not found, search for it with "apt-cache search libncurses"


yay! thank you! i just installed libncurses5 and recompliled and now it looks like how i want to look thanks again Cheesy
