I cant get my software to update beyond version v1.0v.

I have a 2nd unit that is on software version v1.6.

Any idea how to fix the software on the first box so it can update? I have tried 20 + times.

A pumpkin mines 27 hours a night
Bitcoin Difficulty:   18,736,441,558
Estimated Next Difficulty:   19,955,438,046 (+6.51%)
Adjust time:   After 1945 Blocks, About 13.8 days
Hashrate(?):   130,461,989 GH/s

6.5% increase in difficulty aren't a lot compared to the past. I really didn't think we'd see numbers that low ever again.

I think you have to update to 1.4 before you upgrade to 1.6.

I have done both with no problems. What changes where made.. NO idea.. no one has said..

Details of software updates are here.

What is the blue LED, beside the green blinking one, on the front for ?? Mine is up steady.

shows its running and processing. like an hdd act led on a computer.
OK. Thanks.
It's still up and running good :-)

What y'all have it set for the HZ ?? 1200HZ ??

@ LennonNZ: You were right! I had to update first to 1.4. Then it showed me the 1.6.
All done with no Problem, as you sayed.

Only Change I see is the "HZ" butten on the left side where the Name of the miner is. Beside that Idk.

Question: What have y'all set the HZ to ?? Mine is set to 1100 and it's more or less stable 100-120 Gh/s

If the temp output is falseified then on the datasheet of the chip there should be no mention of a sensor output and range

Maybe not falsified but only (on the webpages) 20C Steps only.. which is as useless as possible and may as well be guessing :-)

Just found it.....


Temp_hys_window

Temperature hysteresis window select
1:40℃ hysteresis window
0:20℃ hysteresis window

So I presume (I may be wrong)  from this it can only give a temperate in intervals of 20C (or 40C)... ?

I wonder.. when (read if) BA get the LCD Screen made.. which way will it be around.. as in the top picture on the manual (which you will have to turn your head 90 Degrees to view it which is useless) or like a phone??

well if that is the best way to mount them,  then they should have included feet to add stability to them imagine a couple side by side one topples now you have a expensive domino set.

Yes I am correct.. about 4 mins after placing it on its side (instead of end) the temp went from 60 exactly ->80 exactly -> 100 exactly now..

so it can only report temps in 20C intervals (useless)

So peoples.. make sure you are placing them in their ends.. not their sides..

Edit: in the bottom of the manual they show it standing correctly.. but right besides a wall.. blocking the airflow!!!

Maybe .. the Temp can only report temps as 40/60/80/100 and as you had it on the side one of the outlets was covered so it got hotter and reported as 100 (could be anything from 80->100) and as mine is on its side I get temp of 60-80). Which make it quite useless.

I see the update. But it's for 1.4 (not 1.6)
Any Problem with updating the Software? Don't wanna scrow up the new miner ;-)

No. I'm from the "cold" Switzerland ;-) Temp right in front of the Miner is right now 23°C
But when I had the Miner flat on the table the temp was showing 100°C. So it is changing ...

I think you have to update to 1.4 before you upgrade to 1.6.

I have done both with no problems. What changes where made.. NO idea.. no one has said..

Also to note On the bottom of the Manual (  http://blackarrowsoftware.com/download/X-1%20Prospero%20(Control%20Board%20-%20Original%20Design)%20User%20Instructions%20v1.3.pdf )  it says:

"Note that device is designed to be placed on the side, vertically. Blocking the airflow vents may cause device to overheat and prevent it from working properly."

See the picture under II. This is how it should be standing.. not like the picture up the top of the Manual

its around 23C here at the moment in the house. and my temps are as I gave before.. I think the exactly 60,80,100 temps are just made up..

Ther is an Softwareupdate for my X1 to 1.4
How do I know what I have installed now?? Should I update at all ?? What changed ??

@ LennonNZ: Where did you see V 1.6 ??

And: I managed to chage to 1100Hz. And temp is ~80°C

It asked me to update yesterday. Try Settings.. Update Software.. . (on the http page)

800Hz = 40C 90GH/s
1000Hz = 40C 100GH/s
1100Hz = 60C 110GH/s
1200Hz = Fail

You getting 80C when I get 60C is quite a difference. I am 100% the ambient temperate in your house is not 20C warmer of you would be living in Fiji or Nevada in the middle of Summer with no Aircon :-)

What "reported" temperatures are other people getting? the 40C/60C temps sound quite falsified..

Update: I just stopped the FAN for a couple of minutes and the temperature reported did not change so I am quite 100% the temperatures are just made up. Any comment BlackArrow?
