$65 from directly from sipolar in China and it just got delivered, I'm on the east coast. Seems like a great deal. Cool, mine is still in the post, so how many moonlanders are you going to try? |

Quick question for anyone here with a Raspberry PI 3 setup....
If I was to use a raspberry pi 3 standalone/headless (ie with no usb hub, keyboard or mouse attached) powered with the official pi power supply (2.5A) can anyone confirm if this will work and what speed they are able to achieve? (With stock voltage settings) ?
Thanks!
you cant directly plug your moonlander 2 to your PI. if you use a powered hub it doesnt matter which power supply you use for your PI - it should just be enough to power the PI  They can achieve the speed they get on every other device .. like 5.5mh/s max i run mine on 4.3 mh/s Greetings - Astrali Well.....my 7th moonlander turned up today and as my existing hub is now at capacity I thought I would dust off a spare Pi3 & official Pi3 PSU (2.5A). It did manage to plug straight into one of the pi3 USB ports, detected fine. I tried running 600 speed and that works fine but trying the higher speed of 756 fails. |

Has / can anyone here share some accurate readings of current draw (with stock voltage settings) of these moonlanders. I have a pluggable 7 port USB 3.0 hub, this one: https://plugable.com/products/usb3-hub7bcIt has a 60W power supply. I have 5x moonlanders connected to it running at 756 clock speed and it has a reading (at the main socket for the hub alone) of 53.08W which seems wayyy to high. I saw in the OP that these should use 1.3W per hash. Now for a 756 clock speed, this gives 4.278mh (which is what i am seeing) but then a watt usage of around 5.56W (current draw calc to be 1.11amps) and if I have five of them this should be around 33watts but i am actually seeing nearly double at 53watts. I know PSUs are not 100% efficiency but thats too much loss - something isn't right. I guess what would be mega useful is a full rundown of all the clock frequencies and the current for each one like: Clock 384 450 480 540 576 600 612 625 636 648 660 672 684 700 720 744 756 768 796 832 852 876 900 924 954 anyone fancy trying it? It would be really useful as this would allow more people to get stable frequencies depending on the device they where connected to (I was hoping to try one connected to a Pi3 usb port but that is limited to 1.2a max total). |

Just a quick note for Moonlander folk in UK and Europe - Am currently using this Plugable 7-port hub with x4 sticks, running fine so far: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2zkGMOu
Tried this Orico number: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2jdmoGn failed at more than two.
I have the same setup, you going to try 5x ? Also what speeds you running ? I'm aiming for 6, 2 more sticks in the post. Running at 720 at the moment, stable, 4MHs per stick. Can obviously go higher, sink temps at mid 60's... Will post what happens with 6! Ok. I have three more in the post on top of the four I have connected now. I think it's just a matter of speed & amps that each one draws in order to get all seven running. From my post on page two if this thread I think (in theory) we have 1.71a to play with per port... "If you were to split all 7 ports up equally and assuming 100% efficiency you could in theory draw about 1.71A per port." What we could do with is accurate amp / speed table for these. UPDATE (and a WARNING!) : I'm now running 5x moonlanders at clock=756 on the plugable 7 port usb 3 hub and my meter is showing power usage (for the hub alone) at 53.08w, i personally wouldn't like to try running 6x as this will exceed the rating of 60w (12v x 5a) so you're running the risk of overload, over heat / maybe fire etc. I can confirm it's stable though Time for a new hub... Ha. I've got 6 up and running, but that adaptor is white hot. Didn't check the meter, but suspect you're right...<goes to check meter>/ edit - Yes, I've got c. 54w running 5 @ 768. Had 63.8w with 6, which is toooo much. Stolen the ebay idea of yours, looks good, and thanks... Cool - let us know how you get on. I've got 10x of these on the way to (5x left / 5x right) to help with spacing.. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282430334062 |

As a side note, I used these 90-deg adaptors http://amzn.to/2yXp5Ba so the ports that were blocked are accessible. Should have got the left hand version really (for the hub to be right way up) but the build quality seems pretty good. I went with these 30cm ones, cable seems thick enough.. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282430334062 |

Don't think it's got enough power per port... "5V/650mA sufficient current per port" |

If you see the tty devices then try running it with sudo.
Could be just a permissions thing

I would check /var/log/messages for any messages and also look for /dev/tty* devices ?

Yep latest image from about 2 months ago.
EDIT: what hub are you using ?

My first moonlander 2 just turned up ! all working. This is a picture of my setup: https://imgur.com/a/U68EHConsists of: 1) Raspberry PI 3 with official Rapsberry PI 3 power supply 2) Cheap USB 2.0 7 port hub - Pluscom Model u7PH-3A (not using the power supply as the Pi seems to be enough for this) cascaded into: 3) Plugable USB 3.0 7 port Hub (inc 12V 5A 60w psu) - Model: USB3-HUB7BC 3 more are in the post in the way so will be testing more plugged into the same when i can (going to try and do 7x all at the time time via extension cables) Been running now for about an hour now litecoinpool reporting hashing at 3,498kH/s (so far so good!) Boom! UPDATE:. This is still running plus I've now expanded it to use 4x moonlanders at 756 speed. One is using a USB extension cable but seems to be ok. All getting around 4,492 kH/s from litecoinpool |

Key thing to check for is the max current per port, does the manual say?
