cgminerLCDStats - My little LCD

[leemunro]

Hi everyone

I've been trying for the last two weeks to try and get cgminerLCDstats.py to work. but I've now given up. hopefully someone can put me out of my misery....

I have a raspberry Pi with 3 bitfury miners connected to it and i'm running cgminer-3.8.2. connected to slush pool via http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 Everything seems to be running fine on the mining front, I just can't get my little LCD screen to work.

I have installed the cgminerLCDStats fron GitHub but no matter what configuration I run, the screen displays Error: Check Miner API Connection Error

A sample of the commands I've tried are

sudo python cgminerLCDStats.py -i 192.198.107.178 -p 3333
sudo python cgminerLCDStats.py -p 3333
sudo python cgminerLCDStats.py -i stratum.bitcoin.cz -p 3333
sudo python cgminerLCDStats.py
etc
etc

Does anybody have any suggestions...... please

Thanks in advance for any help

You sould enable cgminer api support:

Code:

"api-port" : "4001",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "YOUR_WEBSERVER_IP",

or cgminer command line:
Code:

Code:

--api-port 4001 --api-listen --api-allow "YOUR_IP"

maybe you cgminer already configured api, use that port number, and configure api-allow option.

and start lcdstatus:

Code:

python cgminerLCDStats.py -i CGMINER_IP -p 4001

Hi elbandi

Thanks for the reply, I was worried nobody was going to reply.

I'm a bit confused by your answer. You've listed 3 different IP's : "YOUR_WEBSERVER_IP", "YOUR_IP" and CGMINER_IP as far as I know, I only have two IP addresses. my Pi's IP and Slush Pools IP.

Could you explain which address goes where

Thanks

Hi,

This cgminerLCDStats‎ query the stat from cgminer directly not from the pool. sorry, i misspelled the first code block.

So there is 2 things: your pi with cgminerLCDStats‎ (1.2.3.4 ip), and your cgminer (5.6.7..
Than you sould give access in cgminer for cgminerLCDStats‎ to allow query the stats. "api-allow" : "1.2.3.4", and you run cgminerLCDStats‎ to query the stats from cgminer:
cgminerLCDStats.py -i 5.6.7.8
That's it.
