1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Unofficial Spondoolies SP20 thread on: February 27, 2016, 03:59:03 PM
Im having a problem with my SP20 that I just bought off of ebay.

I have tried getting my SP20 to start and it wont. When I turn on the power supply the fan will come on run for about 5 seconds, then shut off and the yellow light will come on. Then the yellow light goes off and the fan comes on again for about 10-20 seconds then the fan shuts off again. The yellow light then begins blinking 6 times every few seconds. The ethernet lights are both going but it is not showing up on my router and going to myminer.io shows me nothing.

I have tried to sd boot it = nothing
sd reset = resets but then when I take out the sd card and restart it.....nothing
......I even tried the blow dryer trick......nothing

The old owner has been a huge help trying to get it going but so far nothing

Any help would be majorly appreciated!

What PSU are you using? Model and watts.

I would start at looking at that.   I never had to do the sd boot luckily. 

Im using a Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W

Garbage psu multi rail so


Here is my guess.

One rail is 36 amps that is good for one pcie plug not 2
Second rail is 36 amps that is good for one pcie plug not 2
Third rail is 20 amps that is only good if your gear is set to 200 watts per pcie plug

So if your gear is set to 200 watts per pcie plug you can only do three plugs not four.

I would connect two pcie plugs

C.       Empty
C.        Empty

See diagram.

If it starts let me know

If it does not start

C.       C.
Empty empty

If it starts let me know
If it does not start

Empty.  C
Empty.  C

If it starts let me know

If it does not start

Empty  empty
C.         C

It should start on one of those patterns

With 3 rails of 36 36 20

You could get it to work on careful setup and big under clock.

Since the most a 36 can do is 18 x 12 = 216 watts.  A setting like 150 watts would be okay.

So .61 volts. And 150 watts would be good.

But you need to start it to downclock it to thay



Ok tried all the combinations....same thing.
I even brought up another 1300w that I have and tried them both together....Still nothing
Is it dead?
The guy I bought it from mined until he shipped it and it worked for him...

Ok, I am just lost! I have no idea why 5.0 will not work for my asicminer tubes! The previous versions (4.1) have all worked but not 5.0!

I have them connected via usb to the rpi. But no matter what it still says no devices found.
I have both the superuser option and the detect all options enabled
I have tried CGminer after compiling it with the --enable-blockerupter (which has worked with previous versions) but not working with 5.0
I have NEVER been able to get bfgminer to work on minera. It never finds the devices either
I have tried a fresh install of 5.0 and then compiled it twice. Still no devices found.

Is there something I am not doing? Do I need to do anything so it will read the usb? Do I need to put in certain settings I did not need to before (extra options) or to get bfgminer working.

Any help would be appreciated Im pulling my hair out trying to get this figured out!

Well, you should firstly try to remove the autodetect option (this should enable libusb detection). Then please can you tell me the exact hardware you are using? Can you find and paste a link to it? Because I'm not sure what you are trying to connect and I need more info about the HW before tell you something more.

EDIT: while I don't think it's a cgminer version problem this is the previous binary there was in Minera, you could try with this too (add it as custom miner or overwrite it as default one) https://github.com/michelem09/minera/blob/fa17a35255bdd7ba48569d0507dc0e9e4f788ecd/minera-bin/cgminer?raw=true

I tried disabling the autodetect option and that still didnt work.

I am not sure how to add the old binary for cg miner in to Minera (I wish I knew more about Linux). Can you explain how to do that?

I am running 2 Asicminer Tubes that are chained together and connected to the rpi using a usb/uart adapter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769570.0). I am using a rpi B (not sure if that matters) They worked with the previous version of Minera but cant be found with 5. I have never been able to get them to work with bfgminer, even though they are supposed to be compatible with it

Any help would be appreciated.

So, it's sure you need to re-build cgminer in 0.5.0 because --enable-blockerupter option isn't in the default build (it prevents others to be compiled).
Then did you do a "sudo make install" too after the "make" command? Try and reboot the Raspberry after that.

Yes I did the sudo make install, and then restarted the rpi. Here is the code that I used, do I need to do something else besides this.

Code:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-blockerupter
make
sudo make install
cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/

Well now, it could be useful know your settings... For example, you didn't answer me, did you tried with superuser mode?

Sorry must have missed that question, but yes superuser mode is on. Here are my settings right now. Thank You again for the help!



Last try is looking what the miner is doing while tries to start, so get a terminal window in Minera and try launch this command:

Code:
/var/www/minera/minera-bin/cgminer -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json

(stop any running miners)

If you are still getting "No devices found", try to run:

Code:
lsusb

And give us the output

Still no go, here is what I got on the terminal screens

Hello

Update looks great but I havent been able to get it to work yet. I am running 2 asicminer tubes, they were/currently are running fine on 4.1. I tried updating to 5.0 and just using cgminer and bfgminer but neither of those worked. I then compiled cgminer using this


Code:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-blockerupter
make
sudo make install
cp cgminer /var/www/minera/minera-bin/

But that did not work either. It says no devices found, is there something I am not doing or doing wrong?

Ok, so I am still not getting it to read my tubes, everything else is working but it wont find the tubes....what am I doing wrong?



You should try to run the miner command manually from the terminal and/or look at log

I needed to move my 2 AM Tubes from an office to the basement (wife said they were to loud). So I needed some way to make them wireless, Minera seemed like the answer!
but being relatively new to using Minera, I'm having some trouble getting Minera to connect to the tubes. I have the newest Minera build on a rpi B, I am connected to the rpi with the usb-uart adapter. I have tried both CGminer and BFGminer and neither of them work, is there something I am doing wrong or something I didnt do. I thought that CGminer would work for the tubes but I am not sure. Any help would be great! Thank You

First of all you should look at the dmesg log when you plug-in the USB cable:

- SSH into Minera
- plug-in one Tube
- do "sudo dmesg" and look if something happened (you should see something like "usb 1-1: New USB device found,  etc...")

Then if USB are correctly detected you should need to configure the miner:

for Bfgminer it should work, you can try to look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769570.0

for Cgminer according to the readme you need to recompile it with the "--enable-blockerupter" option (this is not in the default cgminer on Minera) https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/ASIC-README


I will try to see if something happens when I plug it in but I can't try until I get back home from work. Also I have no idea how to recompile CGMiner is there somewhere that explains this process?

Ok, I got home and I SSH into Minera and looked at dmesg.
I see both 1-1: New USB device found and also 1-1.2: New USB device found. So I assume it is seeing the miner.
It says that BFGminer is online but it does not hash. The dials for everything just sit there and spin.
I'm not sure I have BFGminer setup correctly. And as I said earlier I have no idea how to compile CGminer.
So still not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I just had a few questions:

1 - I have a rpi that I used previously when I had block erupters and I would like to use it for mining with a tube. I was going to use Minera but have been unable to find anything on how to set this up. Right now I do not have the USB-UART that comes with prismas but I do have a BE controller that I am running it on right now. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to setup the rpi as a proxy. Anyone know where a set of instructions are?
2 - Does anyone know if Minera can use the adafruit screen on the pi?
3 - Does anyone sell just the USB-UART Adapter? I would love to just plug in my tube straight to the rpi but havent been able to find one yet.

Thanks
