New GekkoScience product, the Smart Hub

[mritter0]

Now I hooked my R909 up to my PC. Replaced the drivers. Edited the start-r909.bat file with my BTC address. Double clicked it, cmd window opens, cgminer started, no output.

I have an ASUS RT-AX86U Pro router. Could it be blocking everything?

Grabbing at straws here.

Hey, DM me on Discord - I will help you sort this.

i will then report back here with findings to help future issues.

New firmware available. Check the 4th post down on this thread.

I got my connection issues figured out.

ASUS RT-AX86U Pro router
AiProtection
Two-Way IPS -> Off

It says right in the description that it blocks Bitcoin Mining. Disabling this cured the issue immediately.



Thanks to all the guys who helped me figure this out and with some other newbie questions.

I’m going to assume you need to put the details in again for miners, freq, pool details (if different from default)?

Yes, it's a whole new image and resets everything to factory. This is not a critical update so if your system is working and you're happy, leave it!

What about changing the pool url gadget to a drop-down box with 3 (or more) default options:
ckpool solo
KanoPool
Custom

Then a text gadget to enter a custom/modified pool.

Keep the initial setup simple as it is now. But.....

Add some more settings to the System Config page?

I am sure everyone that mines wants to set their miners to certain IP addresses. DHCP is not working the way I want. I set an assigned IP in my router but the hub is still using the original one it was assigned. I did a system reboot, put the wrong wifi password in on purpose, it still set it to the old IP. It seems to be "stuck".


Add a Workers page with a list and stats of each miner. Easier to see if one is not working properly.
01. R909          100050786     2.142Th     550     etc      Red is in error, yellow if warning
02. R909          100xxxxxx      2.201Th     550     etc
03. Compaq F   200346543      350Gh       450
....
10. R909

Total hash rate in large font.

Plenty of room for more stats/details.

if you want to define a static IP on the SmartHub, edit the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and define your static IP. Dont assign it in the router, assign it on the Hub itself.

All of the stat' bits you mention will all come in due course, embedded in the SmartHub Gui. This is one of the reasons I linked Kano's stats page directly from the SmartHub UI, to give people the extra stats you describe in the meantime.

People have asked, as I did, how many R909s can the SmartHub handle?

I have 8 with plans to get 3 more to use all 11 USB ports. I am using it with an EVGA 1600W PSU that has 9 VGA ports and with special cables, use the 2 CPU ports.

Since there is plenty of CPU and RAM available, maybe a USB hub will give a few more R909 slots, with an additional PSU to power them.

I'd like to integrate SmartHub into Home Assistant so a quick(er) (jump)start would be great - where is SmartHub reading data from being shown on display ... Is there any log file I could parse into HA? Thanks.
