[Closed] Legendaries review party of Spondoolies-Tech's SP20

[John (John K.)]

the default ssh credentials are root/root .. while the default UI credentials are different .. admin/admin

Awesome, thanks again! *john writes this hint down for the upcoming review*
Any suggestions on how would I find its external IP given SSH access? I guess I could always send a ping or something from it to a vps I own, but that's kinda convoluted.

or this :: curl -s --head http://myexternalip.com/ | awk '/External-Ip/{print $2}'

Thanks man!

One last question - I'm having troubles connecting to it over an external network, e.g. if I use my phone network it doesn't pull up the web UI. Is there any way around this? If this works, I'll be able to monitor this over the internet.

[wh00per]

I made some units to log the data out somewhere and I just monitor the logs.

here's how I get to the data:
https://github.com/wh00per/SPT-Historian/tree/master/SP30

Here's how it looks:
http://powerprice.info/SPT/graphic.php



By default you can extract a JSON out of the unit by browsing to the http://<miner's IP address>/monitor.php
IMHO it's too much cgminer there and absolutely no power-related data ... but heh it's good because it's persistent after reboot.

Thanks! I'll look into implementing it after I free up some time. Now if only it supported SSH over the internet...

Got mine as well, took me 3 minutes and 46 seconds to set it up, including unboxing, unpackaging PSUs, jumping them, configuring the miner status, and then running. Pretty happy with that so far. I didn't do anything with IP/Mac Addresses, I just plugged it in and went to myminer.io

edit* about as loud as a low powered vacuum cleaner. However I haven't tinkered with the fan settings or anything else yet, its just been running at 80% fan. Like most asics I suppose at stock settings, its fine if you have a basement or a room out of the way, but I probably wouldn't put it in a living space.

I could not expect less from ishmael after some nuclear power plants study, this is "vacation time".

Hehe, its been a while hasn't it? I only dabble with nuclear plants nowadays since DHS shut down my last one.

Something to note, I was having major stability issues with 2 Corsair 850 PSUs (overkill I know) I swapped those out and went with a single Corsair 1250W and my hashrate has stayed completely stable for a few hours now, The SP20 UI is showing a bit under 1.6THash, but Eligius has been reading it as 1.8 Thash consistently. 80% feed capped at 1000W max.

Well, I'm not a legendary, but I sure can test and do odd things with Jallies.... :-)

If you want me to take a look at your miner and put it through it's paces, let me know. I've got tools to measure power, factor, heat, what happens when you drop it in a bucket of water, how easily it comes apart, etc. :-) If it's got open software I'd really have a good time.

It could be interesting to futz with something different.

The links in my sig will allow you to purchase one, like the rest of us! Lol

Posted my review. Thanks again, Spondoolies !

Thanks!

[Mushroomized]

still trying to set mine up, it wont connect to my raspberry pi's ethernet bridge (but my laptop and other devices will...)
I dont have access to a router in the area the miner needs to be so I need to find some solution to running it wirelessly.

The packaging of the device, however- was really nice

And here's my preliminary review, thanks again Spondoolies! I'll add more stuff to it as I keep on playing with it.

Get a wireless dongle. I'm just wondering which dongle to get at the moment. (Spondolies-Tech, any recommendations?)

you mean a wireless usb dongle to plug directly into the miner itself? I have one but I'm not sure how to set it up

Yep. Plug it in the USB port on it, and go to the settings page and click WiFi networks.

Welp, I see the problem now. You haven't managed to login to it, right?

obviousness... is that even a word?

the settings page being myminer.io? Im assuming in order to set this up, it needs to be connected to ethernet briefly, though

we all have days like that mate, i shouldn't worry too much (unless you start putting your socks in the fridge)

If the SP20 is anything like the SP10 and SP30, the unit must be connected to the internet for a few minutes (more than just briefly) before its IP address shows up on myminer.io

myminer.io is not a settings page, it is a handy page that shows all the Spondoolies-Tech rigs on your local network. Then you can click on the rig to be taken to the web page for that rig (where you can then adjust all the settings for that rig).
