I use cgminer on all my machines and hooked into the api to poll for current statistics. From there I threw together a quick Android app which displays all the machines and their current temperature, fan speed, hash rate, etc. on my phone. As you can see each machine can be expanded out to view the individual GPUs, FPGAs, and (hopefully soon) ASICs connected. The Android device must be on the same wifi network as the miners, but I've been tossing around the idea of putting together a web service to make the data available with just an internet connection. It doesn't make configuration changes to the miners, but at least I get notified immediately. Here is a sample screenshot with a few test machines. I was in the middle of simulating several different conditions when the screenshot was taken.  |

Good news!  I bought a few hackberry days ago, i think they will be delivered this week. Please can you give a more information about Ubuntu and cgminer version and how you compiled ftdi_sio?  This should be everything, but if I missed something in my notes please let me know. Ubuntu OSFollow the instructions from the first post of this thread to download and install the OS image. System SetupOnce Ubuntu is booting run the following commands on the Hackberry. #Remove web and sql servers from base image
sudo apt-get remove lighttpd mysql-server
sudo apt-get autoremove
#Update system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
#Install tools
sudo apt-get install git autoconf
#Install libs for cgminer
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config libtool libudev-dev
#Retrieve cgminer source
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
#Compile and Install cgminer
cd /opt/cgminer
./autogen.sh --enable-bitforce
make
sudo make install
#Create the modules directory used later
mkdir -p /lib/modules/3.0.36+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
I followed these instruction for compiling the kernel and modules on a separate linux server. Grab the .config file from here instead of generating a new one. (If needed I could possibly provide the ones I compiled.) Once you have finished the compile instruction the only two files you need are ftdi_sio.ko and usbserial.ko. With the Hackberry still on I did the following. On the Linux Server scp output/lib/modules/3.0.36+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko linaro@HACKBERRY_IP_ADDRESS:/lib/modules/3.0.36+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
scp output/lib/modules/3.0.36+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko linaro@HACKBERRY_IP_ADDRESS:/lib/modules/3.0.36+/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
On the Hackberry WiFiMy access point uses WPA2-PSK so your settings may be different. Add to the end of /etc/network/interfaces auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa.conf
Create new file /etc/wpa.conf network={
ssid="MY_ESSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="MY_PASSPHRASE"
}
Reboot the hackberry and you should be good. Let me know how it works. |

I recently picked up a Hackberry A10 for this exact purpose and it should arrive this week. If you are interested, I'll let you know how it works.
I'm interested in any low power solution, so yes, please do. Also if anyone is interested in selling a preconfigured solution, please post in this thread. I'm afraid I don't have the time to invest in researching/setting up a solution myself and would pay for the convenience. For reference, the best alternative I've found (that would not take significant time for me to setup, and runs under 20W) is a micro-itx PC on ebay for around $120. If you can beat that, it would be a very attractive option. The Hackberry A10 showed up this afternoon and is working well. I found an old 4GB SD card for the Ubuntu install, setup wifi, and compiled cgminer. Only problem I had was cgminer didn't see my BFL Single as the ftdi_sio module was missing. Once I compiled and added the module everything is working perfectly. Hooked the A10 up to my meter and it's measuring ~3W while mining with 1 BFL Single and top is showing between 1% and 4% CPU usage. Now I just need to come up with a case. |

I just received the approval from RIM and the app is now live on BlackBerry App World. GLBSE - BlackBerry |

Luceo,
The PlayBook version works just about perfectly. I notice some stuttering in the transition animations and the QRcode scan doesn't work because the BlackBerry OS doesn't support the intent correctly. Otherwise you should be good, but if you find any issues please let me know and I will take care of them.
I have submitted the app to BlackBerry AppWorld and am waiting for BB approval before it gets posted. Last time I did this it took about a week. I'll let you know as soon as I get the release notification.

I want to thank LWCoder for the absolutely awesome work he has put into this app,
You can now find this app on the front page of GLBSE, and to make things easier, to add the API key we now show a QRCode, so no more blistered fingers from typing in the code.
Thanks Nefario both for your kind words and the QRCode. I made one for myself which I printed out while doing testing. I just tried the one onsite and it worked perfectly. My only concern is the API function key part do they go thru your content provider(proxy?) ?
The API key is stored in your phone's account manager (you can also see it in the Accounts & Sync Settings for the system) and all queries go directly to the GLBSE APIs published on the site. I am caching a lot of data on the phone to provide quicker response times, but you should see a spinner in the upper right letting you know new data is being pulled. I have a timestamp showing up for the main list view, but nowhere else, that will be corrected soon. Can you use the converter and get us a PlayBook BAR for this or get it into the Blackberry PlayBook / BB10 Store?
I can give it a shot. I have a developer PlayBook from the last promotion they did so I can test on real hardware (the simulator is terrible for converted android apps) and an account on the BB store to post it. I'll let you know what I find. |

V1.10 is now up on Google Play. After several weeks with this app on the market it became apparent that one single issue was causing the vast majority of crashes. To correct this issues a content provider has been wrapped around the database and all data requests are now queued through this provider. What does this mean for you? Hopefully you will see a huge increase in stability and responsiveness, especially after data is retrieved from the server. - Increased stability (new ContentProvider)
- Fixed refresh indicators across the board
- Reimplemented price chart
- Added chart controls (1 day, 5 day, 1 month, etc.)
- Pull-To-Refresh shows last sync time
- Caching price trend data locally
- Caching depth data locally
- Added foundation for background updates (should be complete in the next update)
- Added foundation for change notifications (should be complete in the next update)
- Minor bug fixes

V1.05 is now up on Google Play. Large update with lots of additions. I've had this version in the works for too long now chasing little bugs and I don't want to get caught in that trap. Most of the issues I'm still seeing are UI related and most of those only on tablets. If you have any problems please contact me via email or the forum. NOTE: An API Key from the GLBSE website does not become active until you click the Enable button, at which time the Key and ID disappear from your screen. I highly recommend copying the key to a text editor first in case anything was mistyped. - Fixed Database locking issues
- Added API login support to pull user portfolio data (login key is stored in native account manager for 1.6+)
- Added API input via QRcode (GLBSE website should be implementing this soon)
- Added expandable top bar with user portfolio data (balances, owned assets, buy and sell orders)
- Added owned asset pinning (owned assets are auto-pinned with a star)
- Added order cancel action (buy/sell still in the works)
- Added settings menu
- Added crash reporting (opt-out in settings)
- Added changelog dialog
- Bug: Refresh indicators still aren't working as I would like them to
- Bug: User portfolio after entering an API key doesn't always refresh correctly. I'm activity working on fixing this issue now.

Great, I'm glad it's working for you!
The version I'm working on now allows you to enter an API key to pull your portfolio. All owned assets are automatically pulled to the top of the list with the pinned assets.
I just checked the Google Play link and it appears to be live now.

I've actually had the application in Google Play waiting to be published for awhile. I guess now is as good a time as any to submit it. Should be available in just a few minutes on Play under GLBSE. |

New version is up. New- Search in Action Bar
- Pin and un-pin assets by long clicking on them in the list
- Reworked ASyncTask to execute in parellel. This should make bids/asks appears more quickly, but might break on older versions of Android. I added a handler for that possibility, but if you are experiencing crashes let me know and I can revert the change.
Known issues- Refresh indicator isn't updating correctly under some circumstances (mostly to do with device orientation changes)
- No widgets
- No alerts/notifications
- Only public data is shown

I have the search and pin features done and will update the installer shortly.
I'm starting to add the ability to pull your portfolio information via the API. What would you guys like in the way of notifications and/or desktop widgets? What would be useful for you? I was thinking at a minimum buy, sell, and deposit notifications. Anything else?
Thanks.

Thanks Nefario, I appreciate that. I added search into my working version, as I got sick of scrolling through the list looking for specific tickers, and started a pin/watch option to bring selected tickers to the top of the scroll list.
I noticed the server requests are significantly faster today. Looks like you completed those backend changes you mentioned.

I've been fighting some issues with the android charting package I used so this took a little longer than I hoped it would. Unfortunately I'm going to have to look for a replacement charting solution as adding many charts with lots of points to a listview is making for a very slow and choppy UI response. For now I've disabled the preview charts in the listview to correct for this until I can find an acceptable solution. New- Data persistence for everything but Bids/Asks (uses ~400KB of storage)
- New Tablet display with extended details
- Added Pull-To-Refresh to list
- Refactored a lot of underlying code in preparation for new expanded details view
Known issues- GLBSE response time is incredibly slow, but it looks like this might be improved soon
- Refresh indicator isn't updating correctly under some circumstances (mostly to do with device orientation changes)
- No widgets
- No alerts/notifications
- No Watch lists
- Only public data is shown

Thanks for the reply Nefario. In that case I'll continue with the features I have in progress and not worry about the performance for now.

I guess it can't hurt to ask. I'll send a PM and see what he thinks.
As for iOS, I hadn't even given it a thought. Primarily I focus on Android development, but have done some work on iOS and BB. Since the OP specified Android I figured why not give it a shot. I do mobile development freelance as my day job and while this one has been fun to put together in a short time, its really served as a (fun) distraction from finding my next project. An iOS equivalent would take considerably more time and that's something I can't afford to do right now.

No worries.
I have data persistance just about finished, but it only mostly helps with the slow response times. I've also added a new tablet layout screen which acts like the official gmail app to better present the data. Should have an updated package up by tomorrow.

For anyone who wants to try it out, here is an install package. Please remember this is still far from release quality. I've tested it on an ICS tablet and several different phones. Known issues- Only public GLBSE data is shown.
- Data is not persistant. Device rotation and app reloads cause a fresh data poll.
- Manual refresh button is not implemented yet.
- GLBSE response time is incredibly slow. Data persistance will help this.
- Some stats (Averages, Volumes, etc.) are not being displayed yet. I have them stubbed into a layout, but nothing that works on all screen sizes.
- No widgets
- No alerts/notifications

Thanks. I had a little time yesterday and was able to throw together a details display and pull the depth data. Still rough, but it's a start. I have an install package I was going to put up last night, but when I tested it on my 2.2 smartphone the refresh cycle went haywire. As soon as I get that straightened out I'll put up an apk.  |
