BFGMinerRPC issues:
I hoped others have hacked through the forest already. RPC is completely new to me and I'm also a novice python dev. But, I tried to use the example RPC python script to RPC into my miner and I either can't get it to receive the data and parse it or I get no response.
Here are the 2 methods I tried:
1. Using Thomas Sileo CGMiner blog bigups (
https://thomassileo.name/blog/2013/09/17/playing-with-python-and-cgminer-rpc-api/)
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import socket
import json
class BFGMinerAPI(object):
""" Cgminer RPC API wrapper. """
def __init__(self, host='mylocalhost', port=4028):
self.data = {}
self.host = host
self.port = port
def command(self, command, arg=None):
""" Initialize a socket connection,
send a command (a json encoded dict) and
receive the response (and decode it).
"""
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
try:
sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
payload = {"command": command}
if arg is not None:
# Parameter must be converted to basestring (no int)
payload.update({'parameter': unicode(arg)})
sock.send(json.dumps(payload))
received = self._receive(sock)
print(received)
finally:
sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
sock.close()
return json.loads(received[:-1])
def _receive(self, sock, size=4096):
msg = ''
while 1:
chunk = sock.recv(size)
if chunk:
msg += chunk
else:
break
return msg
def __getattr__(self, attr):
def out(arg=None):
return self.command(attr, arg)
return out
I started this script and tweaked it for my setup I'm remotely running the script with my server name.
The response is when I run c.command('summary') and I get no response. I set breakpoints in my Anaconda/Spyder IDE but get nothing.
c = BFGMinerAPI()
c.command('summary')
When I run the same script on locally..it still freezes...same behavior
2. Using the BFGAPI script:

Nothing prints to output
Could anyone offer some help? Thanks!
