my units arrived today, and i've got a problem - it only hashes at 130GH. All 8 boards are connected in series, red wires on the same side for each connector, with the rpi at the 'bottom'
Ive checked the cables for snugness and eveything is wired up properly by the looks of it, but the second board onward do not get warm or produce a hashrate. Is there something im not doing right? each unit has its own EVGA 1300, so there is total overkill of quality 12V power.
otherwise, the kit was quite good - arrived in one piece (though a good kick to the box by a DHL courier would likely cause damage) and is a nice design both for fan placement/volume and minimalism of costs.
would like to see a class 8 or better SD card though since the RPi can go through class 4 cards quickly during reboots or power failures.
is there a way to see the actual cgminer process going on? I doubt it recognises anything other than the first board but id love to check the live log and settings

You did change the "Board Num" to 8 in the webgui/cgminer config right? Also, I heard something about certain firmware needed for running up to 8 boards on a single R-Pi.
If you are still having issues, I would test each board individually until you test them all for good working order. Then once they all checkout good in SINGLE board config, I would start daisy-chaining them together and testing as you add more boards.
