[DIY] - Reward $100 | Antminer S1/S3 Blade on Raspberry Pi

[herbiehasher]

I have the correct IP, the www isn't working but it's hashing.
SSH won't connect either.
Perhaps I'll do a factory reset.  I have always had trouble with this 1 unit, it likes to go drop down to 80 from 180 sometimes.
If I can log in and reboot, using the www or ssh, I'll get x's.  Only way to clear that is to power off the PSU and power on again.
Then I can log in, sometimes.

You might have a faulty controller board.

I know, hence the questions about running 4 from 1, or RPI.

You can easily get two CP2102, plug them in a RPI running CGMiner. I'm doing this tonight

CP2102 => http://www.ebay.ca/itm/231286561833?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

OR buy that controller from jeppe (who is active here)

Yes I just bought s1 boards from him and they will be here Friday.

[pekatete]

Any more news on that chaining or the other mods you were onto?

Yeah i wish he was in Canada, i would buy some too. Shipping is so bad US => Canada ...

also it looks like we may be able to link 2 boards (or more) by desoldering the first and last chip on alternate boards. the last chip has no pin outs to another chip and has a resistor tied to pin 37 (respond input). so technically we tie chip 31 on the first board to chip 2 on the second board and it should simulate 1 board with more chips on single mode.

Did you try just connect RX(one board)-TX(second) to chain?

Yep, not working

yes i did that and it didnt work. im currently trying to get some desolder braid to try my idea. the last and first chip are off.

Now there is a post worth waiting for ..... ! godspeed.

Still looking for some boards BTW, i know most of you are in the US and shipping cost kind of put the board price a bit up for me.

Anyone in Canada with some board to sell ? Would be awesome

I have some in the toronto area. $60/s1 or $45/boards only (including controller). Plus shipping

So question ...

My Raspberry Pi is up and running. My cp2102 are plugged into the PI with a usb hub (alimented one). CGMiner runs fine but detect nothing.

Any idea ?

try running it with sudo to see if its a permission problem

[HerbPean]

I tried sudo ./cgminer -o ... -u ... -p xxx

No luck

thanks

[idonothave]

I tried sudo ./cgminer -o ... -u ... -p xxx

No luck

thanks

./cgminer -n ?

Any idea ?

try this:

sudo ./cgminer -c cgminer.conf --bmsc-options 115200:25 --bmsc-freq 0781 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 --lowmem --quiet

use Your own cgminer.conf or use -o/-O option instead

[HerbPean]

Allright, i thought i didn't need to add the --bmsc-options 115200:25

i was using --bmsc-options 115200:55 on my windows machine tho. isn't 25 too low ?

Anyway thanks a lot guys, you're the best ^_^

I forgot, my blades pencil undervolted. Try different numbers, look back in the thread. With my settings it is working perfect. And append what ./cgminer -n returns. Check cables, must be very good fixed into blades, led should be blinking when cgminer starting. I do not connect gnd pin, only RX/TX and it works perfect for many many days.

Mine are undervolt to 0.85-0.83 (not more, not less).

Running steady at 49.2 - 49.3. with very few HW under windows.

Thanks for all the info. i will try with :25 option just to see.
