Quote from: jeyzeus on May 22, 2024, 10:43:11 PM how do we check the power usage of the standard unit if we are running it via a raspberry pi or different computer? not sure how to read the terminal/command line results haha. You can also read the apollo log file. It is in JSON format. Code: $ cat /path/to/your/apollo-miner-log-file \| jq -r ".master.boardsW"

Quote from: MrMik on December 06, 2022, 05:07:47 AM I think I found the male power connector used for the Apollo: 6-Pin Connector ATX/AUX/EPS https://skippyscustompcs.com.au/products/4-pin-atx-connector?_pos=1&_sid=6919f0e2b&_ss=r togethr with these: https://skippyscustompcs.com.au/products/crimp-terminal-atx-15-16-awg-male?variant=32881590009920 Remains to be seen if they fit once they arrive. Is the male crimp terminal correct? I would guess that you need a female crimp terminal for this connector?

I just download the folder from releases link, configurate the file, and run as adm. i Need some help The miner application creates a write protected stats file if the binaries folder is write protected.

Quote from: nullama on April 28, 2022, 06:05:52 PM Since I would like to run it even lower, I set brd_ocp to 30 and kept osc at 30(both minimums based on the documentation), this nicely decreases the fan speed (and sound) as expected. with 30/30 you have already increased the efficiency with reduced stability compared to ECO. I think the binaries documentation is outdated? (Apollo UI ranges from 25-60) So you can step to 30/25 if it's unstable? Quote from: nullama on April 28, 2022, 06:05:52 PM One thing that I don't understand is why the minimum brd_ocp is 30?, would it be safe to run it at even lower numbers?, I'm aware that the hashrate will be reduced of course, but I'm mainly concerned about the hardware functioning properly at it's absolutely lowest value (for example, would it be possible to run it so low that the fans are not needed?). In the end brd_ocp reduces the chip voltage and from some point the chip is no longer able to to keep up it's base load I think. Maybe <30 is too far out of specification? A low power mode is also a nice idea for the apollo UI. Quote from: nullama on April 28, 2022, 06:05:52 PM Also, I noticed there's another fan in the "official" power supply. Since I'm planning to run it with very low power, I wonder if that fan is even needed as that's now the main contributor of noise. I guess I could buy another PSU without a fan for this "silent miner" project. Any suggestions for one? So far I've found this one, which should run without starting the fan until 220W so it should be absolutely noiseless. Yes, the official PSU is really interfering with the quiet operation of the apollo. Maybe futurebit will design a PSU with a bigger and quiet fan in the future?

Quote from: Corn Harvest on March 17, 2022, 08:25:13 AM Hi, thanks for your help. I did that command and got this: umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ ls -la total 264 drwxr-xr-x 2 umbrel umbrel 4096 Mar 15 19:53 . drwxr-xr-x 8 umbrel umbrel 4096 Mar 15 19:53 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 244416 Mar 15 19:53 apollo-miner -rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 615 Mar 15 19:53 miner_start_all.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 391 Mar 15 19:53 miner_stop_all.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 umbrel umbrel 4112 Mar 15 19:53 start_apollo.sh umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ So to me it looks like i downloaded all of it, including the apollo-miner binary (which I assume is some sort of executable file). So it is there but still saying it can't find it when i run the start_apollo.sh script? Can you run this? "./apollo-miner --help" Maybe the error is misleading and you need aarch64? Can you check with "uname -a" ? Also "ldd apollo-miner" is useful.

I currently run a node on rasp pi 4 with Umbrel OS flashed to it and have Sparrow wallet connected to my node. As I've already outlayed for the Rasp pi, SSD, SD card etc etc to have that node running, it doesn't make much sense to also buy the full package Apollo. I am very much interested in getting the Apollo Standard (just the miner) so I can contribute some TH from home - moreso for hobby/ethos purposes. Now from what I've read Apollo have some standalone miner software. Am I able to get that software also flashed onto the same SD card as the Umbrel OS. Basically I want to connect the Apollo Standard to the free USB port on my Pi and have both the Umbrel OS running and also the Apollo miner software running at the same time. That way I don't need to connect the Apollo Standard to some other computer and have that running separately all the time. Does this make sense? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks. You can test the standalone application on your Umbrel OS. Connect with SSH and run: Code: cd /tmp wget https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/download/1.1/Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch32.tar.xz tar -xf Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch32.tar.xz linux-aarch32/apollo-miner --help Thanks for your assistance. I've copied the binairies but am getting this error when I try and run it: - './start_apollo.sh: line 63: ./apollo-miner: No such file or directory' umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries $ cd linux-aarch32 umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ sudo ./start_apollo.sh [sudo] password for umbrel: ./start_apollo.sh: line 63: ./apollo-miner: No such file or directory umbrel@umbrel:~/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/linux-aarch32 $ FYI I haven't actually purchased or connected a standard Apollo to by Rasp pi yet. I am just tickering with this to see if I can work out how to do so before committing to purchasing one. Thanks for any further guidance. It seems you just copied the script files. Check with "ls -la" command for apollo-miner binary in the same directory. For testing the dependencies it's absolutely fine without hardware.

Quote from: crypto_curious on October 04, 2021, 05:10:02 PM Quote from: n0nce on October 02, 2021, 02:41:48 PM @jstefanop is there any reason (except maybe the sleekness of the device) to use the GPIOs? Maybe better hashrate? For keeping the device's sleek design, but allowing users to run own OS, it might be cool to offer the GPIO connection software as a package to install! I don't know for sure, but this must be for aesthetics only. Everything fits under miner skirt. No extra USB cable required. Hashrate is the same in both cases, I've tried that, no differences in performance. Functionality also seems to same, hashrate readings, speed, fans, temps, power use. So feel free to give your Full unit a USB cable so you can install system of your choice. You can always revert to Futurebit system if you don't like it, by reformatting SD card and removing USB cable. Is it okay to have GPIO and USB connected at the same time and initialize only the preferred connection?

Hey what can I do, when a hashboard ramps up sending shares (only ~700 Gh at ~60 Watts) and seconds later stays at 0 hashes? With "screen -r" I can see: Code: Pool in-service, we can send shares! Found boards: 1 Broken SPI: 1 EVENT: 2021-09-30 12:47:34 ::: PWC_RESTART ::: brd=0, pwc=0/0 EVENT: 2021-09-30 12:47:35 ::: PWC_RESTART ::: brd=0, pwc=0/2 Can provide full logs if you need more details. Thank you
