Major Features, Additions, Fixes & Changes:Added the long awaited “Energy Saver” feature – automatically tunes die voltages for highest effeciency while keeping the die stable as possible & hw% low. ~~MORE INFO
http://gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com/energy-saver-faq-help/ ~~
DCDC Over-Current protection – any DCDC’s detected above 46A will be issued a die reset, if that fails then die speed is clocked down significantly to prevent DCDC failure.
Long Term Stability checking for all dies – bumps voltage up on a die if it becomes unstable more than 2x in a period of 2 days.
Per RPI Cube Tracking – if cubes are added, removed or moved around their last known clocks and volts on a given pi will be restored.
Internet outtage / dead pool detection to prevent miner from constantly resetting itself.
Slight webgui redesign.
Product license activation.
Full Copyright & end user license information.
Much smaller installation file.
Additional Features, Additions, Fixes & Changes:Full translation of webgui pages to 80+ different languages.
Logging file output format refined and also includes more timestamps now.
Optimized timing of die / cube soft and hard resets.
Fixed format of advanced.conf file not being updated properly when user changes/removes/adds cubes or manually sets dies OFF.
ADVANCED page now shows which dies(if any) are being throttled because of DCDC over temp threshold.
ADVANCED page now auto refreshes every 5 minutes.
Noticed in rare cases dies are configured with positive voltage – wrote correction code for this.
For “Energy Saver” implemented cross reboots internal data array tracking capability.
Ability for user to save Log Files to a file to be posted or emailed for diagnostic purposes. (This is part of the Energy Saver options).
Added BALANCE strategy to MINER page – this may work better than LOAD-BALANCE for some users.
Removal of BFGminer version option – in testing 5.1.0 works best with Titans – can re-add later on as an optional installation file if demand is high enough.
More fixes to KNC’s shoddy code.
And many more small fixes / improvements too numerous to list.
All the previous firmware features and improvements are included!Now … you’re probably asking yourself “yeah yeah, but how much do all these wonderful new features cost?” Simple: $75 first full copy, $35 for additional licenses.
Verified Previous Customers: The upgrade to this firmware is completely FREE for the number of Titans the previous version was purchased. Additional Titans require additional license purchase.

***IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE*** – Upon upgrading to and activation of this firmware, its EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to keep track of which license was used on your KNC Titan(s). An easy way to do this is create backups of your Titan(s) after activating, then keep record of which backup went to which Titan.
***PRODUCT NOTICE*** – upon purchasing / obtaining this software, the end user agrees to the license terms set forth here(this file is also contained in my firmware):

-------------------
I recently purchased a KNC Titan... after reading about all the issues people had with keeping them up n running stable ... I was inspired to see if I could make the Titan more reliable. So, I set out to see if I could remedy one of the most common issues ...I have dumped weeks of coding into the KNC pi img that most people use to control their Titans. As a result is a project thats grown beyond what I originally saw and I have catered to the needs of several miners who've graciously donated. So, my contribution to LTC, KNC Titan miners n general is publicly available firmware improvements. If you feel u would benefit from this improvement, more than welcome to check it out here:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/TitanKey features:
1. DCDC overheat protection(configurable), will auto clock down dies which cross over user specified DCDC temp threshold.
2. "Sleeping die" reset implimentation - fixes dies who just go to sleep n disappear while mining, without needing to have to power cycle the whole rig manually.
3. Ability to choose between stock bfgminer 5.1.0 or bfgminer 5.2.0
4. More stats on webgui & other webgui tweaks
5. Improvements to KNC's original backup settings(saves voltages & clocks now)
6. "OTA" updates to latest release of my builds.
7. More to come... =)
Latest release:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/tag/v.98After flashing the .img of my latest release, all further upgrades to new releases are accomplished by simply hitting the upgrade button on STATUS page where it shows the release version.
There are 2 "donation" or payment options to choose from
1. The .img posted on github has a built in .75% per 24hr period of mining for me.
2. Premium purchase which is $50 in LTC upfront. Contact vegasguy (member on forum here) for more details. He handles distribution n payment. (this has the .75% donation disabled)
