Thx ammi!

Man, since two days I'm struggling with devices going Zombie 

all updated

have fun guys

Hi zOU!

Very nice!
Ok that's strange, for me your command seems correct 
Maybe some else is seeing wheres the error is.

I've checked your workers, they all are running.

Hello,

well I've got it working.

although I seem not to be able to attach to the screen session:

zou@brix:~/gekko$ cgminer-g1
There is no screen to be attached matching cgminer-g1.


but that doesn't matter as I've added a specific AP{I port for each so I can monitor them using Cryptoglance


so I have 6 instances now

1GjdERDYEDQmyoZHnVnshBbVNBckDw4dnj.gekko2
1GjdERDYEDQmyoZHnVnshBbVNBckDw4dnj.gekko3

1GjdERDYEDQmyoZHnVnshBbVNBckDw4dnj.gekko5
1GjdERDYEDQmyoZHnVnshBbVNBckDw4dnj.gekko6

can you update the stat page ?

thank you !!

minibit: Thank you !!!

I'll give it a go tomorrow !

I'll update my workers with[1-6] at the end

Hi guys,

sorry for the silence
had no computer today ;-)

zOU - thanks for joining :-) have fun!!

I might move a gekko or 2 over here.

If your using a Pi, install screen as above and then just edit the /etc/rc.local file and add before "exit 0" line

cd /home/pi/cgminer-gekko-rev2 (pi will be what ever user name you set up and same for cgminer, it will be what ever version your using)
sleep 6s (just to give pi more time to be fully booted before starting cgminer)
screen -dmS cgminer sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://POOL:3333 -u ADDRESS.G1 --usb :1 --compac-freq (what ever you want) --widescreen --worktime -o stratum+tcp://BACKUPPOOL:3333 -u ADDRESS.G1
sleep 6s
screen -dmS cgminer sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://POOL:3333 -u ADDRESS.G2 --usb :1 --compac-freq (what ever you want) --widescreen --worktime -o stratum+tcp://BACKUPPOOL:3333 -u ADDRESS.G2
As many times as you want, I don't know if there is a limit to where it will start messing with the pi or not?

The pi will start to mine as soon as it is booted or reboots from a power outage (as long as you don't have to cycle the power on your hub after a power outage).

Then use putty to connect to the pi and screen to see cgminer/s.

We would love to see more people joining. Leave a message like in post 1 as soon as your gekko is ready.

Here we go:

This instructions may are only usable on a Debian system. Raspbian would work just fine. You may know some parts of what I'm describing here already. I dont want to offend you. Just pick the info you need.

I'm not using Minera or other webinterfaces, just cgminer itself. Bfgminer should work too. Maybe there are some different starting parameters... For connecting to the individual cgminer-screens, I'm using a software called 'screen'. You will find info about screen on Google. I set up all cgminer commands I want to use as aliases.


First, install screen:



Second, create all aliases:

Open the file ~/.bashrc, insert your aliases and specify all the start parameters. My file looks like this:


These aliases will start a cgminer instance with the specified USB devices (--usb parameter) and set up a screen session. Change the BTC address to one of your own addresses!    Here you have a list in post #1 with the possible frequency rates: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gekkoscience-compac-bm1384-stickminer-official-support-thread-1173963

Blue:	Alias name
Brown:	Path to cgminer binary
Red:	Screen name
--usb	Device selection
Green:	Worker extension

You can print a list of all devices if you start cgminer (with no --usb parameter selected, so that every connected device is used) an press the key 'U', then 'L'.


Now insert all screen aliases to ~/.bashrc:


As before, blue is the alias name and red the screen name.


Save the file, exit the text editor and execute the following command to reload all aliases:



Third, start it!  


Starting a specific cgminer instance:

Connecting to the screen a specific cgminer instance:


Important notes about screen:
If you are watching a process over screen, don't press CTRL + C to exit or 'screen' will pass the key combination to cgminer and it will stop to mine instead of leaving the screen session. Always detach safely from a screen session with the key cobination CTRL + A and then CTRL + D.
Also, don't connect to a started screen immediately. After you started a cgminer instance just wait 10 to 20 seconds before connecting to the screen session. Cgminer has to be startet and initialized completely, otherwise it may crash or freeze.


Feel free to leave your questions. If someone has a more elegant way to do this, please drop a post!
Please consider that I'm not a Linux expert

Ill be here eventually.

just gotta mod one of my 5 compacs with a stupid big heatsink and fire up a separate cgminer-gekko instance for this. its all running on a rPi B and a superbpag 70 watt hub.

my 5 just laze around at 16 ghs each with a 120mm pointed in their general direction. Ill crank one up and point it here.

I never used minera, but as far as I can see, this is just a webinterface for managing cgminer and no the mining software itself?
I will post my config and how I set up my linux.

I'm using minera, but if you have a way to do it easily, i'm interested

That's one way to do it. On Linux, you could use aliases too.
On Windows, just start multiple command line windows of cgminer.

@zOU could you separate your miners to one device per worker?

so maybe that would work:

Put your startup script in a file:


Save to start_single.sh, then

Make the final script:

Save as start_all.sh, then

Run ./start_all.sh to mine.

Source:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/12308/scripting-multiple-cgminer-processes-running-on-a-router

It would work yes, but you won't have detailed statistics of every worker.



I see it the same way. If it's possible, please use one device per worker address.

Well you can have as many sticks as you want they do not share work, they process their own shares.

They're managed independently by the software (cg/bfg miner).

So in the end I don't think it makes any difference

My vote would be to keep it as single sticks, has worked well for antrun and makes comparisons much easier.
