Thank you. The workaround did the trick.

But the tabs "Miner" and "Admin" are still empty for me.

I have sent 0.42 BTC to 1Btf3BqUegfe5iFdWsgfBf1Ew3YsAvsrLT for motivational purposes. Cheesy

Thank you for your help. The webinterface is running now. I didn't use the httpd-cluster mode.

But I have the problem that no shares are submitted. I am using your newest jar. It makes no difference if I start it with or without the "-tc" parameter.
In the webinterface the tabs "miners" and "admin" are empty.

Quote
java -cp ZtexBTCMiner.jar BTCMiner -m h -p 7005 -ac 7200 -nolog -oh 0.1 -n 6 -tc -o Slush https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/ http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 user pass

Any ideas?

Seem's that you have encountered a bug. The pool is not active. A quick fix: click on the pool number on the Mining pools tab. Another advice, add a backup pool with option -b.

The option -n 6 is a nice have for my setup to distibute all miner equally to the mining threads. -nolog disables log file writing. -p 7005 is the httpd port number.

I will fix the bug later... have to leave now.

grobi42: Thanks you for the fancy webinterface. I am running the miner on a QNAP NAS. But the Webserver doesn't start up. Are there any logs where I can see why ?

edit: typo

Did you start the miner in httpd-cluster mode (option -m h instead -m c)?

Here's the startup script I'm using (replace user and pass, maybe the website url too):

Code:
#!/bin/sh

java -cp ZtexBTCMiner.jar BTCMiner -m h -id Ztex1 -p 7005 -ac 7200 -nolog -oh 0.1 -n 6 -tc \
-o "Slush (Stratum)" https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/ http://192.168.1.200:8332 user pass \
-o "BtcGuild (Stratum)" http://www.btcguild.com/my_account.php http://192.168.1.200:9332 user pass \
-o MtRed https://mtred.com/user/profile.html http://mtred.com:8337 user pass \
-o Itzod http://pool.itzod.ru/index.php http://pool.itzod.ru:8346 user pass \
-o Bitminter http://bitminter.com http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 user pass \
-o Ozcoin http://ozco.in http://eu.ozco.in:80 user pass \
-o 50Btc https://50btc.com/account http://50btc.com:8332 user pass \
-b Ozcoin http://ozco.in http://eu.ozco.in:80 user pass \
-b 50Btc https://50btc.com/account http://50btc.com:8332 user pass \
-b "BtcGuild (Stratum)" http://www.btcguild.com/my_account.php http://192.168.1.200:9332 user pass

Read the README for more details, or start BTCMiner with option -h to get a description of all options.

Some Website hints:

On the pool tab:
you can switch the pools by clicking on the pool number
you can open the pools website by clicking on the pools name

and if you click on the "Ztex1@fpga:7005" you can force and update.

So long

A new Bugfix version is available here: https://github.com/downloads/gr0bi42/BTCMiner/ZtexBTCMiner_gr0bi42_20121109.tar.bz2

Changes: bugfix - with disabled target checking, no shares were submitted *doh*

A new testing version has been released.
Binaries: http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/ZtexBTCMiner-121017.jar
Source: http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/ZtexBTCMiner-121017.tar.bz2

New features are:

    * Temperature sensor support for USB-FPGA Modules 1.15y rev. 2 (temperature limit is set using the paramter -t)
    * X-Mining-extensions: midstate, submitold
    * Target checking, must be enabled using -tc
    * MAC address printed at -i


Hi,

I've integrated the recent changes into my httpd version of BTCMiner.

Source is online here: https://github.com/gr0bi42/BTCMiner

Made some changes regarding target checking too, although there are still problems with pool.itzod.ru.

Added a cool looking JSON based Webinterface. See photos below.

Precompiled package is available here: https://github.com/downloads/gr0bi42/BTCMiner/ZtexBTCMiner_gr0bi42_20121108.tar.bz2

See the README for further infos.

Happy mining  Smiley

What is target checking good for?

I'll have to try it this night Smiley

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Target, if pool difficulty is > 1 it only submits shares that met the target. (By default all shares smaller then the maximum target are submitted).

works great - i have arround 200 MH/s more submitted shares with 2 quads.
2 questions -
how to set the temp option exactly and - which temp range is ok for the quads

The temperature limit is set using the parameter -t, e.g. -t 65 sets it to 65°C. If this temperature is reached the FPGA is shut down.

Up to 70°C (default temperature limit) is ok. But try to stay below 60°C in order to achieve the maximum performance.

Hi,
after testing the Ztex 1.15x on CGMiner (and really not liking the experience.. unfortunately) i tried to get back on BTCMiner but i have a problem:

Code:
C:\ztex>java -cp ZtexBTCMiner-120703.jar BTCMiner  -host "http://de.btcguild.com:8332" -u Nachtwind_fpga -p yup -f ztex_ufm1_15d4.ihx
Error: Device lost after uploading Firmware: No new device found

I cant find a way to revive it for BTCMiner... CGMiner still works "fine" (as in the limits set by CGMiner) though..

Any ideas?

Did you change the usb driver back ? IIRC you can do that with Zadig.

*edit*
Ok, changing the driver to libusb did the trick. Thanks.
