I hate to be constantly asking questions and it seems like im taking the easy way out but i keep running into road blocks and i spend hours trying to make it work before asking on here. When i start the command ./start_moonlander2.sh it takes me to the mining screen and there 2 things happen. Either it doesnt find any devices on my powered usb hub or i get this message futurebit write error input/output error. I am so lost on why these 4 moonlanders arent showing up as a device
So, you may need to figure out where the Moonlander is connected, then declare it. I just got into this, and if you are not used to to the terminal it can be frustrating. I wrote this so it will do the work for you in Linux (if you are on a Raspberry Pi).
export MoonlanderDEV=$(dmesg | grep tty | awk '/cp210x/ {print $NF}' | tail -n1)
echo $MoonlanderDEV
./bfgminer --scrypt -S /dev/$MoonlanderDEV --set MLD:clock=600 -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.na.mine.zpool.ca:3433/#skipcbcheck -u <WALLET> -p c=<COIN>,sd=128
if you run "dmesg | grep tty" it will return the plug/unplug events and state where the device "mounts". Awk then searches and prints only the appropriate line (something to the effect of "ttyUSB0"). Tail only prints the last time it was done. I set that as an environmental variable, then run the bfgminer based on that.
(I only do this because I also have a Gekko Newpac and the two do not play well together unless you specify the ports)
I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I was getting frustrated because no matter what i tried or looked for on the internet did not work :/ The code that you have me enter, when do i enter that? after i run the whole BFGminer setup?
You need to have a working bfgminer program first (so download and untar the one from the futurebit website). Then cd to that directory "cd bfgminer". Then run the three commands one at a time. (the echo is not really necessary, but I like to see that the script is working, so it should return something like ttyUSB0). Then the following line will actually start the mining, so you don't use the StartMoonlander.sh anymore.
TL;DR. Enter it in the same directory as the bfgminer program.
Best of luck!
Very Much appreciate it! (dmesg | grep tty | awk '/cp210x/ {print $NF}' | tail -n1) is this symbol "|" suppose to represent anything in the command line
Your making this more complicated than it needs to be...all the script does is most likely put in /dev/ttyUSB0 next to the scan command so just cd into the folder and run this command and it should work
./bfgminer --scrypt -S /dev/ttyUSB0 --set MLD:clock=600 -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.na.mine.zpool.ca:3433/#skipcbcheck -u <WALLET> -p c=<COIN>,sd=128
if that does not work then cd into /dev and ls...youll see what the right ttyUSB number is
im not trying to make this difficult im just trying to figure out things and ask questions my bad.
this is what it gives me when i search for usb the moonlanders do not show u

Well, that is odd. I don't think I can help. if you run "dmesg | grep ttyUSB" what does it give you?
