Hello,

I have a Full Node Apollo 2 (TWO) and I want to specifically use it as a Standard unit. In fact, many things have broken except the hashing - web interface doesn’t work, there is no longer a disk drive installed nor an SD card hosting the operating system. I don’t wish to fix any of these things, I simply want to plug it into my Raspberry Pi like my other standard units. Since there is no micro-USB on the Full Node as an output, how do I physically connect it to the Raspberry Pi in the same way as a Standard Unit?

Thanks!

Have you reached out to support for the issues with the controller? Sounds like a simple reflash of the SD card should fix these issues.

As for "converting" a full node to a standard USB unit, you would need to connect our custom 4 pin USB connector to micro USB converter on the hashboard, and remove the controller connector.

I guess we could sell these cables individually if people are upgrading and want to run these off an Apollo III or other controller directly, shoot an email to support and ill let them know we can offer these.

So i have a Apollo ii full node i got second hand. The node and everything works but the miner never hits advertised hashrate. Not even close. On eco i get around 5th, on balance around 6.1th and on turbo i only get around 6.4th. Doesnt matter what i do it just wont climb any higher. Temps are upper 60s, and i have zero errors. Is this just a bad unit or am i missing something? Would love to get advertised TH out of unit. Is there a log or something i can check for issues? Thanks in advance!!
