[Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

[jelin1984]

I can not put at menu of s1 when the miner hashing why?
How I can fix that ?

Staring at your miner actual makes you less coins..

Does anyone mine with their Antminer in their bedrooms/room they spend most of their time in?  Does it get too hot?  Will you be able to have multiple Antminer's in your room in the summer?

Yes it will get warm in the room. I'm in a cold climate and I haven't used any (other) heat this winter.

Summer where? You probably want to keep the temperature below 90-95 F as most computer equipment is specified to operate at that ambient temperature or below. If you are running these in a hot climate you probably want to air condition down 85 or 90 F (or lower if you want the fans quiet).

Also, at least when they are new there are some "new electronics" odors/fumes. I wouldn't want that or the noise in my bedroom. "Low noise" fans won't work unless the room is cool. For the most part "low noise" fans just run slower.

Ok, so I was able to factory restore by following directions on here, but now I am back to my original problem.

I am following the directions in the op, but when I manually input the ip address into IPv4, my computer cannot connect to the internet. I can interface with the antimner without changing my ip settings by navigating to 192.168.1.99, but it is not mining after I input and ave my pool settings.

You have to reboot after the saved changes (old firmware, new one I think can update on the fly).  If you get a connection through WAN in the network interface it should be mining if your pool info is correct.

What's your modems IP address?

Go to the ant miners network config page, make sure the gateway (your modems ip) is correct the primary DNS should also be your modems ip, go to the ant miners network diagnostics page and run both ping and DNS tests, if they work you're antminer is connected to the internet and good to go.

I put in 3 pools in pool configuration but so far only the miner of the first pool is running. Is it normal? Or am I doing something wrong and 3 pools should be running at the same time?

If you want they mine on 3 pools at once it's called balance-mining.

Check out here how to setup: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395721.msg4329443#msg4329443

Otherwise the other 2 pools are only fallback, if the first or second is not available.

Upgraded my Antminer S1 openWRT firmware to the latest from Github... but I see there's also a PIC Hex file.
Do we have to do anything to update that too (and how?) or is that only for custom setups that chain multiple boards?

Bump - no answers to this?

with the default settings, clear the field for 'ipv4 boradcast' and set DNS to 8.8.8.8

I been asking this before, and BITMAIN say the HEX file is included in the BIN file. the PIC HEX file is used in control board production only.

Thanks a lot, It really helps. I kinda want to lower my reward variance

I tried this, and I also followed smithytzu's instructions. The gateway was different than that of my computer, so I changed it.

The ns lookup fails with the following error;
Server:    127.0.0.1
Address 1: 127.0.0.1 localhost

nslookup: can't resolve 'openwrt.org': Name or service not known

the ping fails saying;
ping: bad address 'openwrt.org'

I have not changed anything in my network settings on my computer, because if I de-select automatically obtain and manually input anything, my internet connection drops off.

Here are some screenshots of what I am looking at. Any help is appreciated.

You have to change the antminer's ip to one that matches your home network. Connect your pc back to the internet (DHCP) and post your settings from ipconfig

Heres what you need to use:

Static IP
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.200 (safe bet and easy to remember)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Router/Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1
ipv4 broadcast:  LEAVE THIS BLANK
DNS: 8.8.8.8

that should work immediately   1AqY1gMXt5wx6jjvCyveHo1yxj3QrgLiWw

I got it running. From default settings I just had to change the IPv4 gateway and custom DNS servers the in the Wan settings to match the default gateway shown by my ipconfig. My ip config returned 2 default gateways, the second is the one that got it running.

Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions.
