1  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: powered USB for antminer and BE on: February 18, 2014, 12:02:41 AM
yes its a usb hub, each port has its own on/off switch. being that its 4amps and I think I read somewhere that an antminer or BE uses .5 amps which means I will only be able to use 8 of those usb slots correct? I guess I will find out when I eventually put in a 9th miner
2  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / powered USB for antminer and BE on: February 17, 2014, 02:18:07 AM
I am just getting into the bitcoin mining and I did have a powered usb hub that I had my raspberry pi and I had an antminer. the antminer fluctuated and would not be steady over 1000 hashes. I tried putting in a BE that I had bought and they both worked but together they did maybe 1000 to just a bit over. Someone on another thread suggested that my usb hub was not strong enough so I looked at the specs for it on the manufacture website and right on the page it stated it will not work with asic mining. so I went back to my computer store and found a nice powered usb hub that runs 5v and 4 amps. The thing is that it is a 28 port usb hub. I am just wanting to know as I expand and buy more antminers will I have a lot of unusable ports that will go to waste because of the power drain from the antminers? If so what would be a good investment for a usb hub? I guess if I have too I can just use the big 28 port as a central hub for other usb ports for transferring the data thru to the pi. Please help with my delima. Thanks in advanced

Hey Guys newbie here still. My powered usb hub I bought was not working right when I plugged in some of my BE. I had an antminer that was not running at the 1.6 it was advertised as. per a suggestion on the site my usb hub might not be putting enough power I looked at the website for the company that made it and right there on the page it said it is not for asic mining. so I returned it and the only beefed up powered usb port they had was a 28 port 4 amp. My question is will I be wasting tons of ports on this beast? I spent like $90 bucks on it. I do plan on building up my mining operation but not all at once just a miner here and there.

I tried the git clone first line and got error message:
remote branch feature/antminer-u1-support not found in upstream origin Unexpected end of command stream

No need to do any of that anymore, support is in the latest official release. That branch no longer exists on my repo.

where do I get the latest release? I know I have to ssh into the minepeon but where do I point it?  I had installed one and then I was reading somewhere to do some stuff to mod it to make it work for the antminer. my antminer has never mined over about 1.1gh and I have added 2 be and with all 3 going I am getting less than 1gh, does the new release resolve this issue? Thanks for the help in advanced
I am new to this as you can tell Smiley

One of the biggest problems people face is that their USB devices don't have enough power.  That may be why you're getting a low hashrate using one rig or 3.  I'm not sure what this minepeon is about, but I just put rasbian on my pi, cloned the bfgminer 3.10, and away I went...no modding, not downloading other things, just load and run!  Here's how I did it: If a command fails, it may require root/sudo

1: Open Terminal or SSH into your Linux machine.

2: Run "apt-get update"

3: Run "apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncurses5-dev"

4: Run "git clone git://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git"

5: Enter the bfgminer directory

6: Run "./autogen.sh"

7: Run "./configure" (if you do not want to use GPUs on the machine, add --disable-opencl)

8: Run "make"

9: After make completes, you can run bfgminer directly (may require sudo), or create a shell script that includes your arguments.


I have a powered usb hub. Minepeon is An ArchLinux ARM based mining OS built for the Raspberry PI.. so I guess that is my lynx os for my pi?
would what you are suggesting at step 2 would that override what is on my pi(which is fine if it wil make my miners work)

If anyone feels like testing out the latest AntMiner U1 code, it now supports both over-clocking and running side-by-side with Block Erupters.

Code:
git clone -b feature\/antminer-u1-support https://github.com/nwoolls/bfgminer.git bfgminer-npw
cd bfgminer-npw
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Make sure you see a driver-antminer.c before compiling and a driver-antminer.o after.

Probing is done similarly to the Block Erupter:

Code:
bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all

And you can overclock using --set-device:

Code:
bfgminer --set-device antminer:freq=4F02

Windows binaries:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z29x4n6ng510joi/bfgminer-npw-antminer.7z

Tested on Windows, OS X, and Raspberry Pi (using MinePeon)

It Works For Me™
