[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive BitCrane T-110 Setup [HD]

[ManeBjorn]

True but I had not dug deeply into the software to see if they made any changes.  It is good to know they did not and it is only the GUI that is all slicked up. LOL

Hi,
I recently interviewed the CEO of BitCrane and he said it is available on GitHub.  I am going to make sure he doesn't just mean that cgminer is available but their port of it.
I have started asking this of companies that I interview now.  I feel there needs to be more awareness of it as you do.
The interview will go live later this week or next week once I get a few more questions answered and verify info.
Thanks again for you hard work.

I don't supposed you've seen source code for the (cgminer GPL3 based) driver for this hardware?

They've not forked anything, they're using the original HashFast code and so don't need to repost.

this newcomer quite pricey
but, overall, this' the best looking miner

Yeah it really is quite pretty.

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I bought the Bitcrane T110S and pulled it out of the box and cant seem to find it on my network. I logged into the router and checked every IP on the list. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For mine the default IP was 192.168.1.140

Thank you i tried that. I am not sure why it wont go to it. I am thinking maybe i will go get a crossover cable and attempt it that way. I have been trying to get it going for hours now and no progress at all!

I'm not sure if they have an SD image available on their website somewhere, but if you can't figure it out you can always plug the two USB cables into a laptop (or desktop, or Pi) and run cgminer as normal so you can mine while you figure it out.

[jhood2880]

I appreciate the response but unfortunately there are no USB ports.

Isn't the T-110S just a downclocked and quieter version of the T-110?
If so, there should be a USB port on the two boards, that you can connect to a computer.

[jhood2880]

Oh wow. Get out of dodge. I had no clue. I was hesitant to open it due to the voiding of the warranty but i will for sure do it knowing they are there. I will let you know if it works. Thank you

Ok so after almost an entire day i am left without a miner. I have no idea what is wrong with this thing. Anyone know of any miners in the East bay area (California)? Wondering if someone would be able to see this on their network. Thanks in advance

Very slightly clocked down, and with 2x quieter fans in place of several 1x loud fans.

Are you not able to bypass the internal Pi and use a computer? Once you open up you can check what LEDs are visible on the Pi as well.

What i did try last night was to get my other R-Pi to run them but it doesnt recognize them.The R-Pi i have is running minepeon. Then i decided it probably was better that i didnt try it that way. I dont know any of the (bin bash) setup codes or anything like that so i was concerned about ruining it. There doesnt seem to be much out there on these devices. It seems to all boil down to not seeing it on the network. (nic shows solid green intermittent flashing orange) (when running on everything that came with it). I could try to run cgminer on my desktop but again i dont know how to configure it.

Create a .bat file with notepad (just save it as .bat) and put it in the same directory as a recent copy of cgminer.

Code:

cgminer -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user_worker -p 123 --hfa-fail-drop 0 --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-temp-overheat 110 --hfa-temp-target 0 --hfa-hash-clock 700

pause

I like leaving the pause in, it means if you put an incorrect string in it will stop and show you the error rather than instantly closing. Your clock speed on the T-110S might be 650, I'm not sure.

Can someone help me understand what the following means/does:

Utility
DH
DiffA
DiffR

Thanks

Also - try a different router if you're having issues with it connecting...

[dogie]

Can someone help me understand what the following means/does:

Utility - Number of shares [at worker diff] submitted a minute
DH - What percent of shares were lost due to hardware errors [in terms of diff 1]
DiffA - Number of shares [diff 1] which were accepted and credited by your pool
DiffR - Number of shares [diff 1] which were rejected and not credited by your pool

I just got one of these, was on sale at Newegg! I got the T-110s silent version. The fan in the top rear of the unit is not spinning, I think I may have to send it back

Think these miners can run in below freezing temperatures with the water cooling?

It won't spin unless cgminer is actively mining on Hashfast boards usually, depends how they set up their boards. If you mean its never running at all, then you can open it up and see if you can trace the wire. It might just be slightly loose etc. If you're sure the fan is dead, you can replace it with a near match for ~$15. Up to you if you want to go through the hassle of an RMA.

I just got my T-110S a couple days ago from NewEgg.  Tried to set it up last night and access with the IP that is on a sticker on the front just like stated here: 192.168.1.140  and I cannot get anything.  It does not even show up as a client with and address on my router.  My router is 192.169.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0   So I have no idea?  I even pulled out an old router and conf'd it to 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.0.0 to try connecting at 192.168.0.140 and nothing. 

I am extremely frustrated right now and cannot find any help or troubleshooting on the Bitcrane site or through google searches.
