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

[Raptor2213]

I just tried to upgrade the CGminer as per instruction, however im getting
wget: can't open 'cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c': File exists

any help?

That means that you missed a few commands.  I made a sure-fire way to get it done every time.  Try this:

Code:

cd /usr/bin/
wget http://kano-kun.net/AntS1/cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
chmod +x cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
mv cgminer cgminer.original
rm cgminer
ln -s cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c cgminer
reboot

I got to wget part after entering still says wget: can't open 'cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c': file exits

I know, just run through the whole thing, and it'll work fine.

Then you already have the file on your local machine.

Follow the remainder of the commands as posted.

Cheers guys, got it up and running much appreciated.

FYI: instead blind faith, doing a
ls -lsart /usr/bin/cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c
would have confirmed the directory actually had files in it.
If you thought maybe the download did not complete you could have renamed or deleted the cgminer-ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c directory.

I tried updating just cgminer on 3 of my ants. 1 of them would start hashing but gradually lose hashrate to almost 0. The other 2 I left running over night and they did the same thing. 2 of them have the Dec firmware and 1 has the newest. Seems to be working fine since I reverted back to original. Any ideas?

i cant get my miner to start , all i get is beeping!! 

[squashpile]

WoW guess I'm way out of date.
root@antMiner:~# cgminer -V
cgminer 3.12.0

Pretty sure I'm on the latest firmware, but I'm not sure about cgminer. This is what shows under software - cgminer 3.12.0-1. Is this the latest?

Seems fine though.. .2% error rate.
Thanks for any info

[squashpile]

Check your internet connection. You sure your S1 can connect to the internet?

Impossible to say.  The software version will never change there.  Remote in and run "cgminer -V" to get the correct version.

[squashpile]

Updated.. thanks again. I didn't notice any issues with the previous version.
root@antMiner:~# cgminer -V
cgminer 4.3.2a

I have noticed that there are two 6 pin power connectors on Antminer I have two Corsair CX 430 could I plug 1 PSU in one board and the other PSU in other board thats 2 x 430 PSU for one Antminer would that work Im only asking because I have them already.


Once again Many Thx for any Advice

It should. Others use 2 different 750's in this way to power 3 S1's.

Hi, I was wondering whether you ever got a working solution to the question of connecting to the Antminer  using wifi  only...I'm having exactly the same problem, i.e. I can  connect to ant with my PC with wired ethernet and look at status etc...  but am not able to connect to ant once I have switched to wifiit still hashes fine from the data I'm getting from BTC guild??

Any ideas?

cheers

[rileyminer]

make sure you set the Ethernet interface back to DHCP (I went through this last weekend)

or you wont be able to login to it over wifi (the wwan interface)

Hmm, not sure whats up but I cannot connect to one of my Ants...I am receiving this message...

/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:448: Failed to execute function dispatcher target for entry '/'.
The called action terminated with an exception:
/usr/lib/lua/luci/sauth.lua:87: Session data invalid!

The Ant is mining away but I was just checking out M's Ant Monitor v1.4
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.0
and I noticed one of my Ants was not reporting to M's Ant Monitor, so I decided to port into the Ant via my browser and I get that message. I have yet to reboot/power cycle the Ant.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Whilst the factory reset button doesn't solve how this happens, but if all else fails its the usual port of call....

This popped up on me before. Reboot fixed it. If you don't have putty, download it. SSH in and type reboot, hit enter. Or, just unplug and plug back in. Haven't seen it since. Also, are you running the latest firmware?
