Totally check out Minera for the raspberry pi-

https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Getting-started

dude hooks it up- here is the script to get a custom miner off of VTHoang



cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/src

mkdir -p git/vthoang; cd git/vthoang

git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git

cd cgminer

CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko

make -j 2

cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/cgminer-vthoang

cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom


AWESOME



I've got it working with Minera, but the miner does not show up in the list of local miners in Minera like the Compaq used to.   I have built it manually (similar to what you described above) and by modifiying the default cgminer build in build_miner.sh to include the --enable-gecko flag in the build.   Do they show up for you or is this a side issue of using a custom compiled miner?

network miners directly, and stick miners by communicating with the cgminer instance.

I have it monitoring 4 S3+, 4 S5, 1 S7, and a bunch of USB miners connected on a laptop.

Great.   I'm currently running BFGminer with Minera 0.7.0, but could easily switch if necessary, so thanks for letting me know.

Thanks man, I noticed that too, may be one day I will fix all these problems with the old Minera but I'd like to concentrate to the new Minera now.

No worries. But that does make be wonder, will the new Minera support stick miners or just network miners?

I noticed on my RPi with multiple IPs, the URLs that Minera generates after running the installation script and at boot puts all the IPs into the same address like:

Connect to http://192.168.1.1192.168.1.2192.168.1.3/minera to manage Minera

I can fix it by replacing the existing block in rc.local to something like this:

Code:
# Print the IP address that Minera works on
_IP=$(echo $(hostname -I)\ | tr " " "\n") || true
printf "Starting Minera Bitcoin Mining Monitor...\n"
if [ -z "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "Unable to find Minera management address"
else
  printf "Connect to manage Minera at\n"
  for item in $_IP
    do
      printf "  http://%s/minera\n" "$item"
    done
fi
printf "         Happy mining!\n"

Which will print each address separately.   This, as usual, gets overwritten whenever making a change to Minera that overwrites the rc.local file (not that I change it that often, but YMMV).

Just passing the snippet along in case any of the developers find it useful and want to use it in a future release. 

I also noticed on my RPI3, that on startup, I get all sorts of redis-cli errors.   This seemed to be due to the fact that redis-server had not fully started up.   I added a sleep 5 statement in the rc.local right before the first redis-cli call and that fixed the errors.   Be nice to have a setting in Minera to optionally add that sleep in if needed.

Best,

Dan

I would be in for up to four of them as well.
