[ANN] Technobit HEX8A1 -240 GHs Coincraft A1 board- Finished production

[Profesar]

Hello

today recieved from eBay Technobit HEX8A1 -240 GHs Coincraft A1  board
want to start work, but seems package not full. Missing cables, instructions.

Can someone provide me link with instruction what i need to do to start mining of bitcoin
Link plese for software download too
Link from first post not valid.

Help pls

Thx <>

Hi,
look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=564612.msg6155295#msg6155295

[cryptonit]

so now that watt per hashrate is the weak part of this miner
how would be ideal power saving setting

i run now 200 at 860 mvolt

its imposible go below 860mvolt then only 1 of my 5 miners would even start mining

if i cant reduce volt more will reduce miner clockrate reduce power useage and increase hashrate per watt ?

where is the sweet spot with best watt per hashrate?

example if i lower to 180 or even 150 would i get lower watt per hashrate?

i think to be able run this miners as long as possible profitable we need to find the sweet spot in power useage

[cryptonit]

i dont like how u leave owner of older boards standing in the rain without support that threads too.....

please again give us settings for most powerefficent watt/hashrate clockrate

Hi,
You can try lower than 200 clock setting , but it is doubtful

Good day,

i have a bought a HEX8A1 miner and i will install the miner with Bitfurys an Antminer sticks on my Pi, but yesterday i have problems with the new Cgminer:

so I think the older patch is't compatible with the new Cgminer version...

I hope the new commands are correct for the older Cgminer version 4.4.2??

Use git clone to download cgminer

[Buchi-88]

Hello THX for your answer,

you think so it's OK?

cd /usr/src

Is it even possible to use the HEX8A1 with other USB Miner(Bitfury BFx2 and Antminer U2) on the same USB HUB?

No. You need to put other miner on different usb port than hex8A1.

You also need to run different cgminer, Technobit patch had no support for non technobit miner. So when you compile cgminer, only enable technobit miner you own.

[Buchi-88]

OK thanks,

also no chance to run the Technobit (USB Port 1 on Pi) miner and the Bfx2 (USB Port 2 on Pi) Bitfury miner on one Cgminer instance?

Or I can to Cgminer instance on one Pi?

Also the only chance for one Cgminer instance is the integration from the HEX driver in the official Cgminer from choklivas?

[marto74]

Yes you should build cgminer with our patch and the options you need for Rpi and run it

[Buchi-88]

Hello guys,

thanks for your help, i have solved my problem

I have run 2 Cgminer instances at the Pi and so runs the miners all at one Pi 

I hope you can still help with the settings myself, i would run my HEX8A1 miner for tests at 200 GH/s, what settings i need?

At the moment the miner runs at ~ 160 GH/s?

use 230/860 it should do 230 GHS roughly
if not there might be a dead chip or not enough power

It depends on the board and chips, you may have to go lower to 8:220 while leaving the voltage at 860

[Zich]

chipmask setting will enable & disable certain chips. Your initial setting obviously disable some chip.

[marto74]

Wowww
thank you both I missed that the chip mask is wrong
