Can't connect avalon 6 miners to the pool.

[franc0]

Hello, i bought 10 miners, i have my rasp PI, everything is connected correctly. But the miners are flashing yellow all of them, I put the pool address and my worker username and password and it won't connect to the pool. Please help.

At the beginning i manage to get 3 of them working with the blue light, but i didn't notice that 1 of the cables that connect the miners to each other was disconnected and then i connected and restarted the miners, since then, i am not able to get any of the miners working or connect to the pool. all on yellow flashing.

You should move this to the mining section, you'll get more answers there.  ;-)

you said you have 10 miners on 1 rasp pi in a daisy chain

four pin daisy chain wire could be bad do just 1 avalon6



rasp pi  ---- usb cable - little adapter ----- four pin wire ---- avalon6


post back and let us know if 1 works.



also 10 machines use a ton of power how are you getting the power to the ten units?

[philipma1957]

I have 4 running as I type.

I ran some group buys sold around 36 of them.

I had a few bad four pin wires.

I also never went past 5 units on a daisy chain

kilo17 and markAZ ran  8 or so on 1 daisychain.

Do you have multiple of the USB adapters?   You should with 10.  Try just splitting it into 2 sets of 5 and see what happens.  You should have 2 usb adapters on your RPI.  And you can use a cheap unpowered hub if you want more.

I wish I could find it off hand but I could not in quick search.  There is a picture somewhere where they show how to split it up on chains.  I know i have seen it but  my searching skills failed me tonight.

If splitting it in 2 does not work start by checking one by one.   It won't take two long.   Just plug the miner via usb adapter with 1 cable.  Go through and check each cable.  After if you know all cables work start trying each miner and see if that does it.  So 10 cables, and then 10 A6's.    

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the replies, i now have 8 miners running. Thanks, it was a problem with a data cable. The other 2 are waiting because i don't have more data cables, need to order more, do you guys know where i can order those cables? What is the name of the cables?

Also, I'm in mybtccoin mining pool, and the hashrate is going up and down. Like from 14 to 38 TH/S, is this normal? It's been like 3 hours with the miners on. I should have 28 TH/S, not sure why it goes all the way up to 38 and all the way down to 14.

Where did you order your miners at?  Normaly it comes with extra.

But I would email BlockC and ask to purchse some.  If does not work hit up Ehash.  Those are two official sellers, and you can also see if anyone on forum  has extra's if that does not work.

I order them in the US. Yes the guy told me he is going to send me extras.

Do you know why mybtccoin pool the hash rate is varying?

Hello please i need help, a miner is not working the other ones are. The avalon 6 led light is blinking red, i disconnected the miner and connected again, it starts with a white flash light, then it goes blinking green for some time, then it turns off for a few seconds, then it follows a red blinking light.

The miner is not detected in the user interface.

what are your power supplies?  flashing red means power is high.

read my burnt thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1336377.0

and let me know what you use to power the gear.

Lol, thanks, I figure out what was. The fan has a false contact, so is not picking up the fan. I fix it with tape. That's why it was on red because the miner couldn't pick up the fan signal.

Thanks anyway.
