Did you make or bought the power cables from PSU to the HUB's? I'm also using one of those 10 ports HUB (with 9 USB Gizmos), with a Velleman multivolt, that gives 7,5 Amperes @ 5 volts.
Originally I ordered some 2.1mm connectors but they haven't arrived, being impatient I cut the 5V lines out of the molex connectors of the atx psu (bottom of pic) and soldered the 5V wires straight to the hub.. and plugged the fans into the molex (which now only has 12V lines). ATX PSU has 28A @ 5V 4X 20A @ 12V (Reserved for K16`s) Your idea is great... i "invented" a cable, but I'm connecting the 10 ports HUB to the HD molex cable and 2 or 3 of the Gizmos were in error... perhaps not enaph current... Better to connect again to the Velleman 7,5 amperes PU.

... Notes on the dispay : If LSDStats is killed in anyway e.g. Pi reset, It sits there with the last stats displayed. Looks pretty but not very helpful. Would be better if it would just go blank or display an error. I don't think it is possible to get around this due to the way it works. Otherwise its pretty cool...
I use -d 2 and thus the clock ticks over every 2 or 3 seconds so I know it's working There is no problem hitting the API every 2 seconds (I have a bunch of scripts that hit each of my cgminers every 2 seconds) That's good to know. My Pi isn't exactly loaded with hashing devices, so I'm not able to test the CPU load in a realistic way with faster API requests. Maybe I should update the default delay down to 1 or 2 seconds to support the clock display? Either that, or truncate the seconds... lol

I'm doing a git pull every day.
That may be your issue, that code is a bit buggy at the moment as I am getting ready for a release this weekend. Neil Not to forget, never change a running system! maybe cardcomm can update his install guide to shut the system down first...am not sure how to do this yet. Notes on the dispay : If LSDStats is killed in anyway e.g. Pi reset, It sits there with the last stats displayed. Looks pretty but not very helpful. Would be better if it would just go blank or display an error. I don't think it is possible to get around this due to the way it works. Otherwise its pretty cool... Good point, I'll try and update the tutorial a bit to take into consideration those that already have an up and running system. Actually, I think you wouldn't have to shut anything down, most likely. You could probably just jump into the tutorial beginning at the "Install pyUSB library" step.

If it gets an error talking to the API, cardcomm has it display a red message that's pretty obvious If the python itself crashes, well, yeah you'll see on the screen what was last put there Putting a message up or blanking would be pointless, rather whatever was trying to do that should instead restart the python. Thanx Kano, I'll change the refresh rate and I should be able to get the python script to run on reboot. Please don't tell me how, am gonna figure it out, I will get use to this linux stuff soon enough. southerngentuk, you can send up to 6 images to LCD's internal memory and pre-program the display to enter into "picture frame mode", when idle for more than x minutes, with the "LCD Sys Info - Images Loader.exe" program that comes with it. If the RPI stops communicating with the LCD, it then knows what to do... Could the Minepeon logo be loaded into that???

This is powering my Pi.....5V/3A....I had read that sometimes you could get a hard draw of current when you plug something in to the pi and it would reboot... so I wanted to stop that with some good power....It has run flawless....also with a El-cheap-o 6dollar hub and 7 erupters.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2y4xv1pyrwum770/2013-08-07%2014.35.24.jpgEdit:...I cant post my pic for some reason...

Neil:
For the second consecutive day, at midnight, my pools are replaced by the 3 donation pools and stay there until I force mine @ the pools page. I have donation disabled for several days.
I'm doing a git pull every day.
I think this is the same issue, off memory I think under the pools table it said 'cgminer failed to restart' I could not force mine and had to reboot. EDIT: Send any coins to cardcomm`s address as donation for lcd work please. Thanks for that. I'm just happy to be doing something that people find useful. But donations never hurt... lol

this Donation goes to Kano' address..... Sorry I didn't have time to pick up a new SD card yesterday, so I turned OFF donations! So it looks like at donation time my PI is resetting? and its reinstating donation time to 5 mins (what I had set it too a few days ago before doing a gitpull) then gets stuck.. Would be nice to have current PI time displayed in the GUI and an option to set the time donation takes place maybe? this only happens after I have opened a bottle of johnnie walker.. whats the state of the git at the moment? I'll reinstall on a new card today should I avoid a gitpull.. Would you like me to send an image of the SD Card.. I'll get back latter to answer other posts as I have a few things to do his morning...

Sorry I'm not understanding something here? ... I guess I better look closer in the minepeon code ... Nope I'm not in there ... and no there's no problem with that, just when you said that I was thinking "eh?"

Why you stealing my coins Kano? . Actualy one of the thinks I want to do (if I ever get the sodding donate code to work correctly) is maintain a list of developers and worthy organisations so people can donate miner time to them. I am sort of hoping we can turn into crowd funded employees. Neil

Those little LCDs are sweet! Anyone know if there's a place that sells them for BTC? Also, any thoughts on including support for the Adafruit LCD (used in this cool guide) in MinePeon? EDIT: PiMiner ( https://github.com/adafruit/PiMiner) is what is used, just was curious if you planned to include it in the future

I am not sure if it re-sizes or not. If not this will do it. In fdisk, Press ‘p’ to print the partition table, take note of the number in the Start column of the row starting ‘/dev/mmcblk0p2′ Press ‘d’ to delete a partition then enter ’2′ to choose the second partition Press ‘n’ to create a new partition, all the default options are fine: Choose ‘primary’ partition type Partition number 2 The starting block should be same number you took note of in step 1 (It should be the default number so press Enter) The default ending block should be the last available block on the SD card, this will vary depending on what size SD card you have (Press Enter) 4. Press ‘w’ to write the new partition table and return to the bash prompt Reboot now to force the kernel to recognize the new partition table. Now you need to resize the file system sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 Should now show something like: [minepeon@minepeon ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 15G 1.2G 13G 9% / devtmpfs 210M 0 210M 0% /dev tmpfs 218M 0 218M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 218M 264K 218M 1% /run tmpfs 218M 0 218M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 218M 0 218M 0% /tmp /dev/mmcblk0p1 94M 24M 71M 26% /boot

I am not sure if it re-sizes or not. If not this will do it....... <snip> Yep, that will work to extend the partition. Then use "sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2" to expand the file system. No raspi-config sorry, that's a rasperian thing and MinePeon went the Arch Linux way for the better USB support. Neil
