no hashing on any pool I try to put it on is mining or errors up, same with your moonlander 2 sticks, so rushed off and expensive devices I was planning to buy 20 but lucky I bought a prototype

MAYBE I STUFFED UP SOMEWHERE maybe hub on moonlander sticks or something ill play with those, but this Apollo is too good to be true atm

Maybe if you tried to ask for help in the support thread you would figure out what your doing wrong. We have shipped hundreds of these with very few issues.

i dont have one of these but i do have moonlander 2 and the original moonlander usb sticks..
im am guaranteeing your issue is 100% user error.

oh and before you buy 20 of these, id consider just getting a cheap l3 and undervolting and underclocking it.

these were never meant to replace larger and less expensive asics.. they are for a hobby miner that just wants one or two.

Shower thought for the Apollo: what's stopping me from running a moonlander on the Apollo?
It has a free USB port, miner software and it has a nice ring to it to equip the Apollo pod with a Moonlander?

You could! Armv6 Binaries on git should work fine on the Apollo controller, and the board has a 3 Amp rated 5v regulator so should be able to easily power one Moonlander.

Apollo service module fully docked with the moonlander Wink

How about a usb hub with multiple moonlanders?

Yea the Apollo controller is essentially a raspberry pie, so anything you can do on a pi you can do on this controller (minus the GPIO pins which are obviously all used to control the hashboard).

Haha awesome idea, bro! Try it! Grin

I already turned my apollo into security camera server with motion sensing and footage recording. All via standard USB Logitech camera

Next level challenge will be running apollo on apollo! Cheesy

I'm having trouble connecting to the Apollo to my wifi network. Any suggestions?

Need details on your network...this is what is most reliable currently

You NEED a password protected network, the driver for the radio on my MCU does not support open networks for some reason

Set router to non-mixed network (i.e. make sure SSID is only broadcasting a b/g wifi signal and separate N network to another SSID).
Password should be WPA2 (not mixed WPA/2)

Keep in mind if it says it failed to connect initially try a reboot, sometimes this works (just make sure you put in your password right).

BTW please keep support stuff in the support thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-futurebit-apollo-ltc-image-and-support-thread-5081750

Forgot to ask about this...

futurebit.local doesn't work for me. I have to use the IP address to connect to the UI. Any suggestions?

There are so many variables to this its almost impossible to troubleshoot. Depends on the device your connecting from, your network setup, router, etc etc.

At minimum you need a device that can address.local hostnames...most linux Mac/iOS, and android devices do this by default, windows I know you need to install a third party app.

Im looking at some sort of zero-configuration solution to this that will work almost anywhere, without needing to find IPs etc for a future update.

261w at the wall running 2

same for me with a Corsair cx600

Sounds about right for that PSU...its not that efficient (I believe its under 80% at low loads).

My Corsair AX860i (Platinum rated) is using 250w running 2x Apollo’s

So are we better off using a 300w PSU at near capacity?

EDIT: they are actually giving off a nice bit of heat at this time of year! Cool

Peak efficiency range for any psu is usually in the 50-80% of capacity.

Someone from the UK is already selling an Apollo on eBay for a very inflated price. That didn't take long.

Check it out.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Futurebit-Apollo-WiFi-Ethernet-fastest-Litecoin-miner-in-the-world-150MH-s/183578245928?hash=item2abe1dbb28:g:6a8AAOSwcZ1cDoqx:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true

I originally saw this at 519 GBP Shocked

Yea this is why I didn't sell everything in the pre-order....there is now stock on the site that will ship this week if anyone wants one. Don't get price-gouged by resellers.
