BA X-1 Unboxing

[nexiswalk]

Ok that is the custom controller version. I do not have one yet myself so I'm not 100% up to date with bugs on it. Can you tell me which LED's from the last 3 pictures do light up for you, as those will be the same.

When it is first turned on I get these 2 blue lights and a red blinking one n the custom controller, the red blinking one goes off after about 20 seconds and this is what I'm left with:

and chuck thanks for reposting the pics.

No problem nexis:

Please send me a PM with teamviewer details so I can look at what the software is doing.

David: that is the whole thing I'm not getting an IP so there is nothing to look at, I've tried both DHCP and using the static information that came with the "instructions" there are no requests for DHCP and even the arp table on the switch shows nothing. As far as I can tell there is not network connectivity so not sure what you expect to see.

Chuck: thanks again, when I tried to use the img tags last time I got a proxy error from the board, which is why I just used the url tags

Are you sure the subnet on your modem is set to the correct IP range (192.168.0.1)?

Hook up a monitor on the rPi HDMI interface and look what it is doing. is it even booting ?
iff not you got a corrupt file system

it is not the rPi. I'm not sure what kind of I/O the custom controller all has.

Iff not then it need to be replaced cause its DOA ?!

what?
DOA? unfortunately, u should RMA this...
bad timing for now, while diff. still increasing like crazy

David: I'm a network/system admin for a living, this is simple compared to stuff I normally do. I don't need to set a modem or router I should just be able to set the IP on my laptop to the same subnet and then connect them together on a switch. Which I have done and pinged the whole /24 block and still get nothing back. I'm 100% sure I have tried this.

The custom controller only has ribbon cable connectors as you can see from the earlier pictures, no HDMI or anything really

Pretty sure I've been saying it is DOA from the start.

Ok, I needed to ask though. Can you please send me a pm with your order details?

well I made some headway, a cross over cable directly between the miner and my laptop seemed to be the only way I could get to the IP on the unit (was 192.168.0.197 btw)

after adding my pool info and saving everything and restarting I get this:

The chip status being red sure doesn't seem good.

My chip status shows the same as yours.

log in to IP/LCD and then set up a static on your normal network. DHCP doesn't work for anyone as far as I know in the miner GUI. DHCP worked ok for the management GUI though for me. You can set your pools up in the miner GUI and it should be reflected in the management GUI too.

[nexus99]

For example the management Device is dhcping 192.168.1.20 and I have set the miner to have an ip of 192.168.1.215. They both share the same NIC so there is some interesting network ninjary going on behind the scenes.

It seems like the management device is designed to control multiple devices.

All of it has been set static (no DHCP) since the start, it seems to be set correctly and my info is staying in there, I've restarted the unit several times now...

You will need to power cycle the unit sometimes after saving your network settings under the /lcd/ control, just unplug it, leave unplugged for 30 sec, and plug it back in.

Yup done all this still no dice....

Strange. Have you opened the units to verify the connections?
