So worked almost as good as the other one!!!!

I found with the last one (no lcd)  you didn't have to log into the Pi before the miner would start on wifi but this version you need to log in first then everything fires up and the LCD works great!!!

The only Real Problem i can see is the LCD does not display the Hash Rate but that's not to big of a deal as everything else is working perfectly

thanks

working fantastic how ever whe i got all my parts and what not lined up i was using the PIMiner way the only reason i moved to this is it is hot swappable with the miners so i can add more without changing settings on the pi

here is my problem.  I also bought this http://www.adafruit.com/products/1115 cause i works to display most of the cg miner information BUT i can't seem to get it to work in minepeon none of the apt-get commands work and i am unable to create files like the Modules file.  anyone get one of these to work on the PEON?

If you grab the 0.2.3a test image it should work automatically on boot.

Hello can the OS start a VPN as well?  My schools network blocks p2pool access it seems.

Everytime I change my password in the MinePeon web interface, I get locked out of it. The "Authentication Required" box pops up, and it recognizes neither my new password, or the old default of "peon".

Any ideas?

I have two USB-FPGA Modules 1.15y - Quad-Spartan 6 LX150 FPGA Boards and five Usb Eraupters.

MinePeon see all of the devices when I indicate 13 devices, all of devices start to mine except one of the FPGA Modules.

Any advice?

Great tool! I had the minepeon up and running within just a few minutes. Great!

1st problem I face:
I use minepeon to mine with a bitburner board. After a few hours minepeon redetects the board and adds a second board on the miner list. The computation of the Hashrate does not work any more then. It adds the last hashrate of the 1st miner detected to the 2nd miner detected. Since it is the same device, only the last device detected is mining. The older miner detections in the list stay on their last value and the total hashrate gets way off.
After one night I had more than 10 devices listed on the peon but only one is attached to it.

2nd thing:
I there a way to overclock the attached bitburner via the minepeon interface?

anyone know where I can get the 3.5.1 cgminer binary for minepeon?  Looks like the git hasn't been updated..

Thanks,

The minepeon setup for the Pi is so easy, first time, out of the box, 10 mins to mining.
The longest job is the write stage to the sd card.

My question is, how do I run a second Pi?

When I power up the second Pi, it allocates a new IP address, and deletes the original address for the first Pi. then Pi one stops.

It appears to be Reading only the device name at the router, and ignoring the mac address.

We are getting very close to a new release, if you want you can download the PR (Pre Release) here;-

It has all of the latest as well as a lot of bug fix's and new features.

how many devises have you successfully run with th pi? When I try to run my setup it crashes the pi every time. I have 57 erupters running on 10 d-link 7 hubs. All are connected to a Rosewill 10 port. It runs just fine on my Debian setup on cgminer.  I have been able to get one hub with 6 erupters working but no more then that.

Thanks for the guide, might try after I get all my stuff..

D-link hubs will take 5 erupters, any more and the power is not stable.
I managed 20 erupters on 4 hubs with no problem.

0.2.4 PR2 is looking really slick!  My favorite version to date.  Just installed and set my pools.  So far no issues for me...

Not true. I run 6 on each and the ones with fans have 5. I have run this on several setups between Debian, Wheezy, and MinePeon. No powers issues at all and no excessive errors. MinePeon just crashes with more then 5 hubs attached. I was able to get 32 on 5 hubs running Wheezy on the Raspi but when I added 3 more hubs the Pi crashes every time. So Im now running all 57 my Linux box running Debian with less then 1% errors. Like I said I have found you cant run 6 erupters and a fan or you get weird errors all over the place, you have to run 5 and a fan or 6 and no fan.

I will remove my fans and put in another miner, then add another hub.

Still goes unstable with more than 5 erupters per hub
Edit:- maybe UK wallwarts are weaker than others

[madcratebuilder]

I've seen the D-Link 7 port ship with both 3 amp and 2.5 amp wall warts, check your wart to know how many miners it well run.  I like to have a .5 amp head room on each hub, it gives me higher hash rates, fewer rejects and errors, and no system crashes.

I have 8 Rosewill rhb-500's, these are 10 port with a 4 amp psu.  I can get 8 sticks and a fan on each hub, but 7 sticks has more reliability.

The 49 port hubs are the way to go with the stick miners, power from a atx psu seems to be the most reliable to date for me.  YMMV.

sweet as a raspberry pi

1 question do i need to be logged into minepeon on my pc all the time for this to work?

edit now i have the laptop and the raspberry pi running

No, you only need to run the pc to monitor the Pi and also to check on the miner results.

[Lucko]

What kind of crash protection dose this have? I have no idea why but I need to unplug Raspberry from time to time(once in 2 days) so it start mining again... From what I can see it looks like eruptor disconnect...

And another question. Even if I disable donation something crashes all my cards every midnight. What else could it be?

EDIT: removing donation from crontab fixed crashing problem at midnight...

This is odd, donations do absolutely nothing at midnight even if you have them enabled.  What version are you running, your going to need to hunt further to find the causes of you crashed.
