Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

[Kgonla]

Got cash for someone willing to help out setting up 4 moonlander 2's and 12 gridseed on raspberry pi with eye boot 49 port hub.
I can get one moonlander in bfg 5.4.2 and 12 gridseed orbs in 5.5.0. But I want all devices in 5.5.0 if possible. When I start the
moonlanders in 5.4.2 all 4 run/hash, Then 3 shut down. Just stop hashing. Been reading for 4 days till 12pm. lol
Hair thinning.

Thanks in advance.

https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer/tree/futurebit2_driver appears to have bfgminer 5.5.0 with moonlander 2 support based on NEWS file content. It just hasn't been released so there aren't any pre-compiled binaries available.

But last entry from Stefano for bfgminer moonlander is one year old, if it have not been compiled yet I don't think it would be

Well, that's easy to test if it can be compiled:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
...
$ git clone https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer -b futurebit2_driver bfgminer_futurebit2
...
$ cd bfgminer_futurebit2
$ ./autogen.sh
(some complaining about version file)
$ ./configure --disable-other-drivers --disable-sha256d --enable-scrypt --enable-futurebit
...

So the final version in the bfgminer output doesn't match the version show after ./configure (which appears to be the correct one) due to some issue on how autogen.sh tries to guess the version script from a git cloned workspace. Otherwise, that result in a working bfgminer binary which is more recent than the latest released Moonlander 2 version and also contains the last changes made to that branch.

Hello I am new to mining and this is my very first attempt at it with the moonlander. It seems like a great product but im having issues keeping mine running as you can see below this is what it looks like for at MOST 3 minutes.
http://s138.photobucket.com/user/obliviousmuse/media/moonlander%20screenshot%202_zpszwancmvz.png.html

but then very soon after i end up with this screen...
https://s138.photobucket.com/user/obliviousmuse/media/moonlander%20screenshot_zpsnwvahi0y.png.html

mind you i am a COMPLETE NOOB and have no idea what im looking at really i was given this miner as a gift and am enjoying it other then not being able to keep it running. when it is hashing correctly i can see the work registering into my pool account. The Moonlander is fresh out of the box no changes it it at all. any help at all would be amazing please.

can someone please help me with this issue i still dont know what is making it happen and ive tried everything i can think of.

yes i have. even with default values set up and mining to the recomended litecoinpool.org my lander will only mine for a most a few minutes before the second screen shot is what i see and i have to full close BFGminer and unplug the moonlander and restart BFGminer

Darn, any chance you have a usb Volt meter, so you can verify your port is putting out enough?  Or try running the Moonlander on like the 350mhz, or whatever the lowest mhz setting is.

no i dont have one at all.

[jstefanop]

Yea thats definitely an issue of not enough power on the port. Like others have said run it on the lowest frequency and see if it runs stable.

is there anything else it could be because im starting to think its not the moonlander but my PC and not the USB either because i have a CPU miner that i use for Magi and it is stopping on its own as well it looks like.

change this setting (--set MLD:clock=600)
to
(--set MLD:clock=384)
and see what happens.
by the by,

anyone got an idea what the AS:-4 is all about? never noticed it be - before
