Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Cube Setup [HD] - page 10. (Read 187349 times)

Has anyone been able to set their Cubes up to use a wireless connection via the USB port on the back or even a Raspberry Pi instead of a wired connection? Just curious since this would make my life so much easier if it is possible since all I have is a laptop and don't want to tie it down just to feed my Cube an Internet connection and due to physical space constraints around my router it wouldn't really be feasible to run a direct line to the router either. Just wondering because with two children running around the house I would much rather have my Cube setup as a wireless stand-alone unit that I can put safely into a corner of my room/closet without worrying about it getting demolished by my kids

And that was exactly some of my reasoning for not worrying about the Androids:  Though on the same logical network, the Android device addresses were assigned in a different part of the address space than the addresses I was using for the cubes and the proxies; I have my DHCP leases set for 7 days; my DHCP server pings the address as it's being assigned to be sure that there isn't a "squatter" on the address before offering it.  It's pretty difficult for a lease to expire and create an address conflict under those circumstances.  Further, I saw the same behavior with the proxies in my DHCP space as I did with them assigned statically outside of the DHCP pool.

I haven't spent the time, and probably won't, to dive deeper into what's going on on the network, but I can say with some confidence that it's not an issue of IP address conflicts, unless the android devices are "making up" addresses to use elsewhere in the address space, and managing to do that without causing other devices to squawk about an address conflict.  Ultimately, however, that turns into a Quixotic discussion - there definitely IS something about having cubes on the same network with other devices, likely Androids, and the solution is the same regardless of the root cause: get them isolated from each other.

My solution has been to create a completely separate physical network.  I've used different IP addressing for that network, but since they aren't interconnected, it really doesn't matter.  It's a little bit of an extreme solution, but very effective.

Excellent 

So I am geussing either of the following are ok.

Have the same worker names in the back up pools
or have cube config page workers set as proxy1user:password.proxy2user:pass

thanks for this and your other guides.
I will be looking at the s1 guide shortly too. 

Hi all, great thread, thank you dogie for these guides.
Everything is working great, I am wondering if it is possible to add a failover pool or even load balance to slush's proxy.
Any ideas how these might need to be formatted?

Maybe there is a thread for slush's proxy, I will have a look for that too.

I would advice no one to buy ASIC miner Cubes as they break to easily and are too expensive. As I have 2 and both are now doorstops. Wasted too much time and money on them. 

I found one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119032 in my "scrounge" bin.  It seems to work well.  A couple of things to note, however:  it will only mount with the airflow reversed from stock (not necessarily a bad thing) and the aluminum case is enough thicker than the plastic fans that you must be really careful in placement to get it to go in.
The cube came right up, though, so I'm happy.

Try swapping fans between the two Cubes to determine if it is the fan.
I think I saw in a previous post that the fans were variable speed, search back in this thread (I have no idea how to do that, help anyone?). They have there conductors, one is a tachometer (speed) signal so the Cube can control the speed with the feedback.

My guess is that the fan failed, the controller no longer saw a speed signal and shut down the mining power relay.

You would want to get a fan with a tachometer (three wire connector) and either a ball bearings or fluid (rifle) bearing for lower noise and longer life. The fan size is 120mm by 25mm.

One of my cubes has shut down - I happened to be sitting right by it and heard the relay click.  Red light and bottom pwr light are dark, fan twitches but does not spin.  I've swapped in a power supply that has been running two other cubes, and I get the same symtpoms.

I opened it up and checked the board - I see no evidence of overheat.  I shorted the two power relay leads and all the lights come one, but with no fan I'm not inclined to run it for more than a few seconds that way.

Is it possible that the fan is just bad?  I don't have a similar one to swap in tonight.
While preparing to order a fan, does anyone know what RPM the stock fans run at?  I see another post about a 2900 rpm 90mm fan, but I'd rather not have that noise level.  I guess more importantly, does anyone know what RPM the device wants to see?

Other thoughts about what could cause this?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SUPER SUPORT

Why do you say "not relevant"?
The word "fired" is not a good translation, can you explain in more words?

Well, 11 is one more.

Though it is difficult to easily tell ones that go to 11 from ones that only go to 9. Part of the issue is that I can't fathom that they cost more than a few cents to make, and every manufacturer or reseller is going to claim high quality.
