The sticks are not very happy on the same hub it is possible but not worth the effort.

Pull all the compacs load the driver for the moonlander once you have them running.

Delete the sillab driver software  but  don’t stop mining the moonlander.

Then load the compacs and they will not be overwritten

Then run the compacs and the moonlander .

Not really worth doing it.  As any  crash will mean pulling the compacs.

Loading the moonlander then deleting the driver program.

Putting the compacs back and running the

I simply run the, on two PCs easypeasy

Ok, glad to pull the Gekkos for later and run on a different Pi w/ powered hub.  After installing just 1 Moonlander 2 I rebooted the Pi.  I went into the bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6 directory on the RPI3 and ran my startup script, pointed to tbdice but I still can't see the stick.  Also went into /dev and looked for anything marked ttyUSB* but there were none.  Do I need to do something else to get the driver loaded?

thanks,
Jim

It was in fact the USB 3.0 hub.  I replaced with a Plugable USB 2.0 powered 60w hub and it works great.  Thanks for the help figuring that out, Philip and Mark.

Happy mining to all!

Hi All,

I'm running RasPi 3 with a 7-port USB3.0 BC 1.2 hub (Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Charging Hub with 60W Power Adapter with BC 1.2 Charging Support).  I have to items I'd like some help with, please.

1. Moonlander 2 light and fan come on, but I am unable to get it to recognize with the bfgminer_5.4.2 special release.  I've confirmed I've got the most recent copies of the libjansson-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev packages. Tried manually walking M+ MLD:/dev/ttyUSB0-10 and got nothing.  Of course ALL and Auto are also not having any luck.

2. I'm looking to solo mine.  Whenever I put the --generate-to arg in my command line statement I get an error: ./bfgminer: --generate-to: Invalid address.  Tried this with several public wallet addresses beginning with L.  I've got a Litecoin Core server set up on my internal network and I can successfully mine to it using cpuminer (get connected, get work, processes hashes, no completed blocks yet).

Glad to provide whatever data points would help in either case.  Thanks!

this isnt how you solo mine.. check out ltc.tbdice.org



Ok, super.  Thanks for the redirect to tbdice.org, Aaron!  Tried that and I'm still having trouble getting my bfgminer program to initialize the USB stick.  I am running a Gekkoscience USB stick on the same USB hub and I'm able to generate shares on slushpool.  Getting other failed to initialize USB messages in that window, assuming that relates to the Moonlander 2.  Any further guidance, friends?
