which rasp pi?

the 3 the 3 plus or an older version.

how big is the sd or micro sd card?

what is the power brick you use?

using the RPI3B. 16gb SD with a fresh raspian install. Using the adifruit power brick that the pi came with.

Looking to get about 10 of these. Any recommendations on a powered hub i can look into?

Plan to run off a raspberry pi if it will accomodate that much.

Anybody stable on raspian? cgminer is still crashing every 24-48 hours for me. Getting the error : corrup25.789] Shutdown signal received. Really stumped here

I haven't been able to recreate the issue on my RPi3.

I'm assuming you already updated to the latest build from Nov 6 (a few posts back).

Other thoughts:

If you have different miners, use the new options from the latest build to separate them.
Try reducing the number of miners per instance to see if it makes a difference --usb :3

i get

Code:

cgminer version 4.11.1 - Started: [1971-12-25 06:10:28.504]

except for that minor detail it runs fine

Mine does this as well while 4.10 report the correct date/time.

Vh, does the new cgminer version include asicboost or is it still in development? Thanks.

Yes. Add command line option --gekko-newpac-boost, when connecting to a known Overt AB supported pool.
You can run it once with --verbose to look for the midstate messages, but there's not much noticeable difference otherwise unless you have a USB Amp meter to compare before / after.

@100MHz was 2.65W, with AsicBoost measured 2.35W. (default)
@200MHz was 4.66W, with AsicBoost measured 4.20W. (fan cooled)
@400MHz was 9.63W, with AsicBoost measured 8.38W. (out of support zone)
@600MHz was 13.62W, with AsicBoost measured 12.45W. (damage if fan gets tired zone)

Curmudgeonly hardware guy

Errors matter very little with the NewPac. Just watch that the hashrate stays up around 98-100% of expected; if it drops, maybe adjust upward a little bit. I have some sticks running at 600MHz on stock voltage (about 830 mV) and 99.5% target hashrate.

What should the vcore be set to? I just got my newpac today and it isn't wanting to work. I thought I would check the vcore but I couldn't find what it should be. Thanks!

I got my newpac working but I would still like to know what the vcore should be set to. I am getting a fair ammount of errors so I'm guessing more voltage would help but I don't want to do to much. A chart like you made for the 2pac would be much appreciated.

A new build is available: 09a2f37

Windows binary: http://23.108.83.14/images/cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-09a2f37.7z

- Lowered unhealthy hashrate sensitivity for non-newpac down to 33%.

- Added testing options --gekko-compac-detect, --gekko-2pac-detect, --gekko-terminus-detect and --gekko-newpac-detect

usage: separates out miner types per cgminer instance. detects all types if not specified.

to assign only newpacs to a cgminer, include in the command line options:
screen 1's cgminer add: --gekko-newpac-detect

remember if you set one, set all other instances too:
screen 2's cgminer add: --gekko-compac-detect --gekko-terminus-detect
screen 3's cgminer add: --gekko-2pac-detect

- Added testing option --gekko-newpac-boost

Triggers asics to do some extra stuff when connected to version rolling enabled pools.
Hash rate remains as expected for the frequency, power usage is reduced by about 10%.
Will hose startup if trying to connect with option to unsupported pool.

- Updated udev rules file to allow access to newpac as non-root user.

Best practice update process: keep old working version handy.

move the existing "cgminer" folder to "cgminer.yyyymmdd"
clone repository to create a new cgminer folder as noted from first post instructions.

So I just got my NewPac works fine with windows7.
But I can't make work with my new Raspberry - I did everything step by step from the fist post and got stuck with "failed usb_init"

[...]

Didn't help either

Does anybody has same issues like I do?

Looks like I missed a step.

Options:
1 - Run as root.
2 - Wait until next build release.
3 - Append this to the bottom of the 01-cgminer.rules file and try that step again.

Code:

# GekkoScience
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

'The right to privacy matters'

I did windows win 10 Ccminer 4.11

Zadig on all sticks

I have a top end pc with 16 gb a 500 gb sd and an i7 6700t

I have an eyboot hub 49 ports with a high end psu 240 watts.

I will post bat in a bit.

So 8 sticks pull maybe

8+8 = 16
8. = 16
5x4. = 40

So 72 watts.

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bravo-mining.com:3333 -u philipma1957.two --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-2pac-freq 125 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 -p x

My 2pac may be dying.

But all the compacs work with the NewPacs

Hopefully this post will not be delete...
But can you elaborate on you command line you are using for all the versions of 'pacs' you are using? My original compacs appear to be coming up as unhealthy and reseting.
