Topic: [DEVICE] SimpleRigResetter - Auto reboot crashed rigs - Extension Boards !!! - page 3. (Read 53156 times)

Exactly
I also do not understand why people are buying my device ....
In short. Device that works out of box, its automatical and has more features than dummy electrical plug

simplemining.net -> About SRR
This link should work.

I've tried to open the link to get more info but it wouldn't open. Anyway, my initial sceptical thoughts: Somewhere in 1st post it says that with 32 rigs cost will be $10 per rig. Does it mean the device costs $300? Wow. If so, then why would I buy it when my $12 wireless plug does perfect job for up to 3 rigs?

OK i found problem, the socat package was not installed (probably some update failed).
I will release soon new R OS image with all updates already installed becasue the chain of updates is too big 1118->.......->1152
Thanks for reporting this.

i wrote email to you, forgot to say that i reflashed 3 times on 3 sticks :-)

no difference no success

Hi, If you see in SRR Tool under windows status gree and reen when rig it powered ON and OFF, and if you can do fast reset from SRR Tool, then you connected your rig in the right way if we mean cables.
Then there is watchdog delay which should be around 200-250. If it is 0 then autoresetting feature is disabled.
If you set 200 in watchdog delay in SRR Tool and it is resetting your rig over and over then the rig has:
a) wrong serial or port number
b) something is wrong in rig with the keepallive script
c) something is wrong with your network, they are in the same vlan and broadcasts are not blocked right ?

a) tripple check configuration, the serial number should be 6 digits (all digits) and port should be one digit.
b) This is smos operating system ? Try reflashing it ? Meaby it have problem downloading configuration ? Is it by any change R OS ?

Problem SRR V2:

I got my hardware some days ago and am testing with one rig:

Rig: H110 pro BTC+, with only 8 GPUs R9 280x, 8GB RAM

SRR is found in the network and the rig is also found.
On/OFF works also with green going to red, when off and back
IN SM i configured serial, slot and put it to "on".


BUT: when i enter values in the watchdog field of the config prg, the rig is beeing resetted exactly dependand on the values i entered.
100s --> reset every 100s
250s --> reset every 250s

Now i entered 0 and the rig works, dont know, if the autoreset works.

During the night, this rig restarted 4 times, dont know if it was the SRR or the Rig itself ?!


So what do you think, should i do?


PS: Now, about 3 hours after wrting above, the rig stopped mining, but was still "green" in SM, so not offline.
It was not beeing resetted by SRR, so i used the SRR config for a long reset, this worked again, but as soon as i enter values into the watchdog max delay field ... its beeing resetted every time it reaches the seconds in max. delay

Yes it is Atmel based.

Out of pure curiosity, is your board Atmel based ?

any update about ext.board ? Already buyed srrv2 and this product is awesome!

but all my question about ext.board is ignoring about month or two

regards

OK here is it.

Sure man, release the kraken
I would like to see the progress and work in a video
Thanks

Little announcement about current progress and delay in releasing those EB.

Product will not be available in March.
Right now i can tell that i am expecting April/May 2018 to be the time we will release Extension Boards.
Curently we need more time to make firmware 100% solid and i WILL NOT release something that is not tested in 100%.
The firmware and Tool still needs more time to finish.
Curently we have first batch of 500 Extension Boards but the firmware and new Tool still needs more tests and more bug fixing.
Please wait little more time. I am doing what i can but unfortunately my hands are tight.
The head developer of this project has right now too much on his head and whole process takes more that we expected.
Please forgive that i am not keeping my dates at all
If You guys want, i can release some youtube movie that shows current work and new features. Do you want it to see ? Anybody cares about it ?
The truth is that while i was doing some test, i spoted few problems that must be fixed becasue people will complain about them
And i really like my product to be really solid as it is right now + have more features.
The new tool for windows also has many bugs that we need to fix.
So please be patient.

Still testing firmware and making some small adjustments.
We found some bug and investigating it more closly (it looks only like graphical bug but we need to be sure).
The tool needs little more time to be finished but we already have first batch of Extension Boards devices and we are assembling wood backplate + writing initial bootloader and firmware and we are testing each port and other slots (the same process as with SRRv2).
So when we finish firmware and tool then they will appear in shop.
I really do not want to start sale until i will be 100% sure that everything is ok and done ok.
So please guys be patient

This above answers your question right ?
Sorry that i did not answered directly.
The answering question on forum is not my good side
Yet we are answering all questions in emails
So please be patient little more.
I know that this product is very late and i totally missed the release date.
Still many of aspects of time regaring EB is totally not up to me.
I can only think how much it will take but the head developer of the SRR and EB was very busy becasue EB is only little part of what he is doing daily.
Also the production line shedules are totally off the grid. The production takes 2,5 month and nobody knows why.
Demand of PCB printing is very high this year.
Also i am glad that i did not take any upfront PRE orders becasue it would be stresfull for me and not right for you guys.

OK we solved this problem
It appeared that all we needed to do is to switch GREEN and YELLOW cables in motehrboard and those motherboards are working.
I will  make in new instructions some troubleshooting guide what to do if something is not working

If anybody will have problem like this then you need to make sure 2 things:
1. RED and BLACK cable needs to be in LED + and -. When rig is turned ON then in tool you should see green circle and when it is turned off then red circle which is obvious. If you do not see that then please revert RED AND BLACK cables and be sure it is working.
2. Then you have YELLOW AND GREEN cables which are going to POWER BUTOON + and - pins.
If you will do some action in tool for example Fast Reset and this will not work, then you just need to switch places between YELLOW AND GREEN cable.
If this is still not working then you need to make sure that you connected to POWER BUTTON pins and not RESTART pins or any other.
This is most common problem which was not described in manual and i know that it is the hardest part of connecting SRR.
So i guess i should be punished for writing poor manual.

Hi Tytus,

I have responded via private email.  I'll be happy to help out where I can.

Thanks

Hi. This is accually weird because we never had any problem like that and then H110 arrived.
I had two clients which had problems on H110 so i asked one of them to send me this motherboard to me.
And guess what, this motherboard worked without problem ....
Then client told me that it might be not due to motherboard but due to PSU.
So i have question for You.
Could you test the same not working motherboard with PSU that is connected in MSI or Asus ?
This information would be very helpfull.

Also we have in beta stage new firmware (please do not ask me for this as it is closed beta).
But as sending this motehrboard to me will not work, i have an idea if you would be able to test new firmware.
Or more like - if i could enter your Team Viewer session, install new SRRTool and update your Resetter with new firmware to confirma that it will work or it will not.
Anyway this is very strange problem and right now there not many cases like this but we need to check this and fix this.
Please write me an email and ansk for me, and also please introduce yourself as crazydane (the guy with MSI H110M and SRR not be able to turn on/off this motherboard).
I would really like to check this and solve this problem once for all.
Also as i appreciate anybodys time, i am willing to pay you for your time ofcourse.
So please reach me at email

P.S do you have different model of Power Supply in this motherboard MSI M110 then in the rest motherboards ?
Also, can you CHECK what firmware version do you have in motherboard and then upgrade to the newest and let me know if this helped ?
If not, can you also try older firmware ?
Thanks

Ah ok.  In my case I was running the SRRTool on my workstation that I VPN into work from.  (I had already disabled Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 2nd NIC interface)  Since I need to be able to do that everyday, I moved the SRRTool to one of my other windows boxes, and it connected immediately.  So that problem solved!


So up until now I have tested on:

Biostar Racing Z170 GT7 (2 different ones)
MSI H110M PRO

None of those worked.  I just completed testing on the following "real rigs":

Asus PRIME Z270-A
MSI Z270-A PRO

And they both worked!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't have issues with my riser less rigs using dedicated mining boards (Onda D1800, Colorful and Octominer).

So I guess the issue with the Biostar Z170 and H110 is that they require a lower "power button" closed resistance (i.e. higher current) than the SRR is able to provide?  I mean those boards work fine with a regular power button or paper clip.

Anyway, appreciate the feedback and I'm off to configure the actual watchdog daemon under HIVE OS.

Guys, please read instruction more carrefouly
if you see "Error getting info from device" then this is 100% problem on windows and his network adapters.
In first few words there is information that you need to disable all internet interfaces except the one you are using to connect SRR.
Windows is little stupid and there must be only one enabled interface to make broadcasts work.
So please go to network adapters and if you are using LAN then please disable all bluetooth,WiFi, VPN, VirtualBox and Team viewer adapters.
Then it will work

RED and BLACK cables are for LED status.
So if you see in SRRTool in this slot green circle then the LED is readed as it should be.
You can shut down rig on PSU to see if the green circle will became red in SRRTOOL.

Next, you have green and yellow cables which are going to POWER BUTTON + and -
If you will make action in SRRTool to shut down rig,reboot or such, and this action will not work then it could be 2 things:
1. The GREEN and YELLOW cables are connected to motherboard in wrong order, please switch places.
Also you could just connected them in wrong pins in motherbaord.
2. The RJ9->4 pins adapter could be broken, please try second to rule this out.
We are adding one extra becasue there are 1% faulty ones in those cable adapters.

3. If you have H110 motherboard then i saw 2 cases that this motherboard is acting weird.
Can you try on different rig to rule out any failure on motherboard/PSU ?

If you will still have any problem, please feel free to ask directly on [email protected]
Please ask for me (Tytus) to be assigned to your ticket and i will help
Most cases are due to wrong connection or i also admit that the instruction is far from perfect.

If you ofcourse have faulty unit then also please do not worry as You have 2 year warranty.
We can make 100% refund including shipping costs to you and from you.
We already had 3 SRRv2 replacements with RMA warranty per 1000 succesfully working.

So if you have problems, feel free to ask on [email protected]

Also, we are very near in the end of testing SRR new firmware which will be awesome.
I will make sure to write proper instructions so there will not be any problems with understanding.
Sorry that i did not answered here. I am looking here every week or two.
Email is fastest way to solve problems

And now I'm back to no communication again.

I can ping it and I can point a browser to it, but the SRRTool can't interact with it.  It's dead, Jim...
