Running on windows and keep getting "WAITING FOR USB COM1" error iterated over and over while nothing happens. It can find the pool etc. Guessing this is some simple operator error?

Yea running it on windoze. Nothing runs well on windows anymore. I found that out with the Gekko Gear. Speedily switched back to a Raspi

Here's a fringe request but would be cool if you could implement it. Any chance you can make a scheduler for the mining side on the full unit so you can just set and forget it to only run through certain hours?

Another option request. it seems my internet may drop sometimes because the miner will stop. Its hard wired and it seems every couple of days it stops mining. I just have to start again.
So can some sort of auto-restart option be added?

Definitely needed. An auto restart feature is necessary.

My SSD plate for node after restarting the miner is no longer recognized. And Node can no longer be started. It comes all the time message no matter what I do: Node is offline Double-check your USB node drive is plugged in the USB port in the back of your Apollo, properly formatted with the folder name "Bitcoin" in the root directory, and press the Start button below How can I reinstall SSD on Miner? Or how can I bring Miner to factory settings? Please Help.. Thank you
if you reflash the micro sd card the miner will reset to defaults and SSD drive will resync itself. Image is in first thread I think Your are right. Just tested It works Thanks [/quote I re-flashed SD card. My SSD not longer connected the way how it was before. I use shell for SSD and connect via USB. I can see my SSD mounted and I can see on dashboard. Every time I start node it started bitcoin sync on SD card, but not on SSD connected to USB.

How I can access my ssd drive on full package version? When accessing ubuntu lsblk I am getting only mmcblk1 and zram0 and zram1. I'd try shutting down the miner, flip the miner over, remove the single screw holding the drive in. Remove and reinsert the drive. and power up again. (aka reseating the drive or failed part).

Definitely needed. An auto restart feature is necessary. Adding my vote for this enhancement. I have 1 full and 2 standard units, and every 24 - 48 hours one of them goes to zero across the board but there is no way to tell which one it is because all three are still running (fans full speed and hot). Stopping and restarting via the dashboard fixes it.

Ok so I've been playing around with the Custom Mode on the miner for a few hours and seem to have hit the sweet spot on my miner, I think.
Power 75% Freq 60
Getting 2.8 - 2.9 Th for 190w. According to the GUI its 68w/Th which is the most efficient high speed I can get.
Whats everyone elses?

After upgrading the Power suppies:
1 Controller and 3 stand alones. Power 95, but I left Fequency at 54.
14.7 Th/s and 73 w/TH/s
Power supply upgrade resulted in almost a 25% increase in accepted Hash on my Pool.

I may have missed it earlier, but what PSU are you using? https://www.ebay.com/itm/153085226971These are 750w, one power supply can power 2 of the BTC Apollos, but I think I can turn down the ASIC power a bit and run 3 on each power supply.. right now Each ASIC is taking 270w with the power set at 95% And then just get one of the common slot adapters on eBay or Amazon, and lots of PCI 6 pin cables.. Similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CX6NM21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Seems you need to be a little careful matching the breakout board to the power supply, they all dont match.. AND if you go for the big Power supplies, say 1200w, alot of them are 220v.. that is one of the resons i went with the 750w, 110v, and i can mix and match.. The same Power supplies(same model, not exact same unit) are running my DECRED miners as well, and are SOOOO much quieter...

Hello I'm having some trouble getting my Apollo BTC (Full version) to connect/mine successfully to a pool. Short version : Hash board starts fine but Pools remain inactive (also on local display) , logs indicate connection success but also "POOL_ERROR ::: Exception: Subscription timed out" If someone has experienced this error I would love to hear what might be wrong ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) -- Long version -- Apollo BTC - Full version Version: d23145d All defaults - Only pool URL set Wired internet, tried different ISP connections. Reflash of sd-card tried. Node sync : OK , 15+ Connections Tested with: - stratum.slushpool.com:3333
- eu.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
- sha256.poolbinance.com:8888 + other ports
- eu.ss.btc.com:1800 + other ports
( prefixing stratum+tcp:// or not does not seem to matter : -host args always without for futurebit-miner ) - account+worker name verified in the pool frontend.
- All pools name:port respond to a simple telnet test, tcpdump show some traffic
- Regardless of pool the log from the running screen indicates that a connection is made but also an error:

I am running a standalone on a RPi 4 and here are the steps that I went thru to get it running. How to Install 64-Bit OS on RPi 4 (4Gb) and get FutureBit Apollo BTC Standalone miner working
Get 64-Bit Raspberry Pi Image https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/ Image with Pi Imager Have to use Custom Image option for now as 64-bit version is not listed. Raspberry Pi Imager Tool (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ )
Boot RPi with new card Perform normal settings (SSH, Wifi, password, etc.) Optionally: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to get all updates applied.
Download RPi software from: https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/ Get the aarch64 files and download and expand to folder of your choice These are the Apollo miner executable along with start/stop scripts Scripts will need editing for the user’s pool information, otherwise your mining power will benefit someone else.
Install Prerequisites for Apollo Miner Sudo apt-get install screen Required for the Start_all script
Update Libstdc++ code Append a line to file “/etc/apt/sources.list” Type: Sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the file. Add this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x to save and exit. Then run sudo apt update sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6
Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible: ls /dev/ttyACM* You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner: /dev/ttyACM0
Cd into your miner folder and type this to get started: sudo ./start_apollo.sh Or this if you have more than one unit: sudo ./miner_start_all.sh I documented this as I was going thru sorting out the issues that I had, but I think it will get you up and running..

Yea running it on windoze. Nothing runs well on windows anymore. I found that out with the Gekko Gear. Speedily switched back to a Raspi Same error on my NUC running ubuntu. I guess I can try on the pi as well but I'm starting to think its a dead usb port =/ Update #3: Also does not show up on raspi GG apollo
