^got the miner.php working after about 10min of learning how to do some ssh (putty) codes.

im interested in overclocking, is there any particular hazards of going higher than 310? rockminer runs at 320, up to 350 with error rates not much higher

The first units only had those 2-pin deals, but your'e good with just using the 6pin PCIe for power on the units that have them.


If you SFTP in, under /home/pi/Garden you'll find "miner.php"

Copy that over to /var/www

then go to [your.controller's.ip.address]/miner.php

Good old fashioned no-frills CGminer web interface. Won't give you per board details but at least shows you HW errors.


That said....

(Note I'm not gonna do a full tutorial here because I was just messing around myself, so YMMV)

As far as actually seeing the CGMiner output, I briefly tried a thing - I installed "screen" to their OS (which seems to be some sort of raspbian) and then edited the start.sh command to use screen instead of 'nohup' to call CGminer.
Then you can just SSH in and sudo screen -r to view the miner output.

I wasn't thrilled with this.

Now, it's worth noting their fork of CGminer doesn't seem to have a fully functional TUI - so, working with the API is probably a better way to get data from CGminer. if nothing else, you can edit the start.sh command which currently sends the output to /dev/null to send it's output to some sort of a log file. It seems to generate a LOT of output so I'm not sure how fast this would fill up. But if you just wanted to run it for a while to see whats up just change /dev/null to like /home/pi/cg.log and then pluck the log file to rummage through for useful data.

If you're savvy I'm sure you can install some sort of a log-rotator to compress and save old logs - but I haven't tried such.

Very cool.
Keep me in the loop. 

Working on exactly this

1) swapped to the newest SD image
2) switched out the cable between boards 1&2

working fine now - not sure if the issue was the wire or the firmware, but it reports hashing and the pool seems to be getting good results - should take a few hours to produce a correct estimate though.

still looking for a way to track the actual cgminer stats to see the error rates and per-board details

What is with the 2 pin connectors? Do I need an adapter to hook this thing up to my power supply? or does it just run off the 6 pin?

Can someone host the RPI images stateside or on mega possibly dropbox?
They are such a pain to try and DL from Biadu.  It always messes up.  I want to get the latest and finish my review but it keeps failing to DL.

Yes.  Price drop would be nice.  Would allow me to buy 1 more miner.  See you on Wed.

+1

+1

Hopefully a price drop!

Sorry to keep you guys waiting on sale of our miner.
Miners will start available on Thursday, and should be able to ship all orders on Friday.
Website will start accept orders on Wednesday.

Thank you everyone for your trusting and supporting. BTCGarden appreciate it.

running 0705 firmware - going to try flashing the 0719 today, and testing out boards individually. (Its set for 8 right now since i got the 1.2TH pack)

I was absolutely foo, I thought the PSU before was 750W but it was just 450W, my fault 

Madsusie now you have a professional PSU, good choice  

All product are out of stock. How long to available this product?

Hi, if you have 8 in the GUI, good parameters
Checking
rpi always on the right
red line on the wire always on the right too
if all is ok check the boards, begin with the bottom

change gui for one board  and only the first board at the bottom connected
if ok then change gui to 2 boards and connect the second board to the first (only the second, no connection 2 ==> 3)
if ok then change gui to 3 boards and connect the third board to the second, then check
Do that for the 8 boards so you can identify the board which fail

hope that helps

There are no miners which would give you easy money, Btg garden had good product, but you must think forward if you want a lot of them /investment + electricity consumption/

Ps. I can't wait for winter, thanks btcgarden the room is constantly warmer than others

I have a question toward BTC-Garden (or towards anyone who can answer it) what is the expected lifetime of these miners? Are they professionally built? Is the build quality nice and good or is it just standard? I mean, from the pictures the side metals do look quite thin.
