[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive BTCGarden AM V1 Setup [HD]

[Markcus]

Hi Everyone, I could really use some help.. I got my Bit Garden V2 about 6 days ago and I can't get it working. The RPI is hooked up right because I can get into the menus, The problem I think I'm having is my network setting. Can I get a pro to take a look at this picture and tell me what my settings should look like... PLEASE... Thank you very much

Set gateway to 192.168.1.200, and if that doesnt work then set the ip as well to 192.168.1.230. [you'll have to go to .1.230 to connect to the AMV1 again]

? why change the ip of the btc garden ?
192.168.1.123 is a good one

you are right for the gateway it's not 192.168.1.1 but 192.168.1.200
But he must change the DNS with the real DNS of his ISP i'm not sure that using the gateway as dns run, it doesn't for me.

let us know Markcus

In case its out of range for his router. I've seen several which set the IP table to .201-.254 when their default is .200.

I think that you want to speak about DHCP

I am having issues with my miner. No hash rate and can't figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That looks fine, what doesn't actually is there are no miners at the bottom of the status screen. Check your wiring and powering again.

I've checked and rechecked... i need a new set of eyes that might pick out a flaw..

Here is the setup .

I *think* your wiring is the wrong way round, I can't remember the layout for bottom up. Try getting just one board to work first. Plug the Pi's cable into the right header of the top board [where the other cable currently is]. If that doesn't work, try the right header on the board below.

Try to replace the DNS not the router but the DNS of your ISP

Your wiring are OK, allways connection to RPI on the right, on the top or on the bottom same thing RPI on the right.

Tried to replace DNS and no success...

When i turn it on the fans start up, so i know there is power feeding into the garden. Able to access the config page so it's online. I did try and ping from my RPI and it didn't work. There is no internet connect that my RPI is picking up, though i'm not sure if that matters since i can access my status page on the cgminer....
not sure why this still won't work.

correction: i can ping from my RPI with my original settings.

Try other boards as I said. If all 4 of them don't work then you're either really unlucky or I have no idea.

True Hero u are. It worked...

One of my boards was fried.. pisses me off .. buy it new off of miner source. I'm able to mine off of 3  of the 4 boards.

When i get some coins i want to dish some your way for your help - if you got a bitcoin address hit me up i'll save it for when i do grab some BTCs.

Thanks again

try reversing the order - put the rPi on the top board and chain from there - or move the board to a new position in the chain

I had a unit that quit hashing because the first board in the chain appeared to have died.  I moved it to the last and it has been running fine for months.
