Just an update...Returned the R909 to Bitcoin Merch and they will be sending me back a new unit once they are back in stock. So customer service has been very good with them.
Anyone have any ideas when the next batch of 909s are actually going out?

Sorry new here, posted in wrong place.
The blue leds are around the fan, the fan and the lights are both working though.
So its not the Pi or the Pi usb port, just plugged in a newpac and set it going, hashing no problem. So has to be something on the 909
thanks all
Okay, so just your fan is running, well, bad news: the fan always runs. Maybe cgminer just crashed?The blue leds are around the fan, the fan and the lights are both working though.

Try restarting cgminer and posting an image of what's on screen.

Well the white blinky light is mining, the red light is power, but no idea what the blue light is.
I heard someone was putting blue led lighted fans on the ones they were selling - so if the fan has stopped working, then that would be it.
We'll have to await sidehack's comments if it's not an extra blue fan led/fan problem.

Tried turning on and off, no use 
. Been running it on Pi3b will get a laptop and download everything and see if the problem is the same there. In the meantime, where would I find the log files to see if anything happened.
Thank you

Hi Everyone,
Wonder if anyone has any ideas. Got mine a few weeks ago was hashing no problem. Came home today zero hashing. Fan is on, with blue light. Red light on front is on but zero hashing, no blinking white light and no activity on solopool??
'Have you tried turning it off and on again?' Wonder if anyone has any ideas. Got mine a few weeks ago was hashing no problem. Came home today zero hashing. Fan is on, with blue light. Red light on front is on but zero hashing, no blinking white light and no activity on solopool??
Honestly, I don't know about the different LED colors. Any input by sidehack or kano on this? I couldn't find anything in this thread and it may be useful for debugging, indeed.

Did you tried to link it to an other server/computer ? Is the issue the same ?
Anything suspicious in cgminer logs ?

It's less a theoretical max and more that that's about what users have reported. It's around 15 to 18, but depends on the speed you're trying to run.

Right, thanks all. just wanted to get feedback on the chances i did something to mess it up. Thanks much. I've requested the return. Now i wait to see what they say.
Oh, and yes, it was Bitcoin Merch

You musta bought from Merch, whose "brand" is strapping blinky lights on everything. Not sure anything with a fan swap would stop the string at 3 chips, so it's probably an actual flaw and repair/replace should be an option. Contact the seller.
They forgot to install the blue led fan when they sent it outa and sent it to me to swap. I did that yesterday and then later that day the 3 chips went out. My guess is i'll be responsible for the "damage". Likely just out $600 and now have a dud. I'll see what they say.
What would any damage look like visibly if i wanted to remove the heat sinks and take a look? Would it be obvious? Could changing a fan even do that?
Not sure what you mean by 'led fan' but if your miner came without fan and you installed one yourself, that can't damage the device.What would any damage look like visibly if i wanted to remove the heat sinks and take a look? Would it be obvious? Could changing a fan even do that?
Integrated circuits can break with or without visible damage. But if you did nothing major (like soldering / modifying the PCB), you should be able to RMA the whole device.

That miner showing 3 chips is a hardware issue. Talk to the vendor.

i run my rpi 4 8gb ram with 2 r909 and a total of 6 compac f sticks (so a total of 18 chips) and that without any problems and performance loss. of the said 8gb ram my rpi doesn't even consume 500mb for this configuration. so i could imagine that you could connect at least one (third) r909 pod miner to the same rpi.
as os i use the raspios bullseye: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
RAM may not be the bottleneck, but USB performance instead. I'm not sure if the Pi's even support USB 3.0; sidehack can probably elaborate better on how he reaches a theoretical max. number of 15 chips. as os i use the raspios bullseye: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
Did you tried with this fork of cgminer ?
I highly doubt it would work as it will not have the s17 chip driver...Quote

You *are* aware that there is a reason #xnsub is not a normal part of cgminer right? Because#xnsub silently bypasses the coinbase checks that would reject work. Without those checks the work can switch to going to anyone, anywhere, any time, any coin, any pool, anything without you ever knowing. Great for pools to take advantage of you. Because no regular mining needs to have that ability it is not a good idea to automatically include support for #xnsub
That said, it Nicehash requires it so your rental miners can change work on-the-fly w/o having to reboot.
Is there some way to do a hard reset on these. Mine is now stuck only showing 3 of the 6 chips and isn't hashing above141Gh and keeps resetting.
Hello, newbie here and I'm also a newbie miner.
I just got a R909 and today I've been trying to connect it to Nicehash, which worked but xnsub is not supported.
The customer service told me to enable extranonce using the code "stratum+tcp://sha256.auto.nicehash.com:9200#xnsub", however, it did not work.
I wonder if there is any tweak that can make it work? Many thanks!
