I think everyone is waiting for you to say *only kidding got them all delivered*  lol

I think everyone is waiting for you to say *only kidding got them all delivered*  lol

I wish I was gong to say that, after the effort I just put in Will do them tomorrow morning now

[wedgy2k]

and HellDiverUK's gem of info to use my RasPi as the proxy

Glad to be of help.

Sorry to ask a further question RE: bfgminer stratum @ HellDiverUK

I've looked every where and cannot find the info regarding switches for the BFGminer proxy (On mine peon) but iv'e seen reference to --rt and --nm (midstate data) and --q ??

1 off whizz kids posts on the Eligius pool thread he says --nm is a must for blades / cubes?

Is it Okay if I come and collect mine off you tomorrow?

If so, you have my details, drop me a message when you can!

The --nm and --rt stuff is for Slush's stratum_proxy.exe - it's got nothing to do with bfgminer. 

My MinePeon command is:

/opt/minepeon/bin/bfgminer -S all --http-port 8330 -c /opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf

Assuming you've done a git pull to get MinePeon's version of bfgminer up to 3.8.0


Then all you do is set the Pi's IP address in the server section of the Blade's config, port, and put in a unique username and password on each Blade - it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's not the same as any other Blade you're going to use.

If it's all working within a few minutes you should see a PXY device appear on the MinePeon screen.

Simples.

I received the cube the other day and I realise that there are 8 chips marked with an "X". I assume these are faulty? Overclocking is not used. Anyone with the same problem?

EDIT:

Solved: It is a power problem with my existing FPGA's

Hey mate,

An "X" does indicate a faulty chip, does restarting the cube help at all? can you send me a screen shot of the web interface.


*Edit* Awesome, good to hear you've solved it.

I found that cycling the power from On to Off does eliminate the half row of X's marked as bad. What I realised is that the same set of chips was not affected and other chips would be affected. As I decommissioned my FPGA's that use more power just to check to see if it isn't the ASIC cube, it seems to be working OK.

I think it is the case that the PSU is not delivering enough amperage to cover all devices but I will confirm as I monitor it overnight.

1 Cube please.

Hi,

I have two cubes, overclocked, on an RM850 and they are working well for the most part.
Unfortunately, they have both melted the green plastic fuses overnight.

Before simply replacing the fuses. can anyone help with the following ...
1.   What is the correct rating for the fuses when a cube is overclocked?
2.   Should the green plastic melt?   (rather than the fuse simply pop!)
3.   As I can't find a fuse rated above 30 Amp do I have to stop overclocking?
4.   Am I missing something important?

Regards

1. Should be OK at 30A
2. I've seen it, it's not ideal though for obvious reasons.
3. They're normal automotive fuses, so are available up to 40A.  Green is 30A, Blue-Green is 35A, Orange is 40A.  Anything above 40A you go to Maxi fuses, which won't fit the Cube.
4. Nope.

[brijoco]

Ordered a copious supply of 30A and 40A fuses!   ;-)

That is not normal,
as it happened to both cube I would suggest to check your PSU first

I'm fascinated to know how you think the PSU could make the fuse melt?
