Dude your guides are fantastic. Have really been a help.
Got an address so I can tip you? --- maybe in Doge coins? ; )
My btcgarden Am-v2 is due to be delivered Tues and I already know how to wire the puppy up (v2 is really just a pair of v1's bolted together) BTW I went with the EVGA 1300 W platinum for power (my Corsair 850TX gold supply cooked itself when I hooked it up to my RK-box, no idea why, just poof).

Has anyone tried to the 7.19 version of the image yet?
I was wondering what improvements it has. I have been having issues trying to get it to DL for the last several days.

running well for me - no visual differences though.
cant seem to OC though - 300-350 entry in the run.sh file has no effect

If its so good why doesn't it do what all the other cheap routers do?
because they aren't "routers", they are residential gateways
jacks of all trades and masters of none
I actually find it pretty annoying that manufacturers have built in the DNS proxy and other wonky features...I would rather the DCHP server pass through the settings from it's DHCP client...it's a much cleaner implementation.
but then I am an old school networking guy who still thinks ATM is a pretty nifty thing....I also sit on my porch and yell at kids to get off my lawn but that's another story.
I get that the majority of folks who don't understand networking and can't properly configure a TCP/IP client need a bit of automation and obfuscation to get them going - and that's really OK
in short I am a router snob who was willing to put a $2500 router in his house....kind of sad when you think about it really ;-)
HI,
He said which doesn't do this because it is not a DNS proxy....it's a router.
and other cheap routers don't
I have 2 ISP and I must set the DNS in the AM-V1 network GUI, it doesn't work with the IP of the router. 2 differents routers same issues.

I for instance actually use a real commercial grade router at my house (Juniper SRX-210) which doesn't do this because it is not a DNS proxy....it's a router.

I don't know how your router wouldn't also be a DNS server, that doesn't make sense. Its a router.
Routers route IP packets...they aren't DNS servers
most of what people call "Routers" are actually NAT devices.
They aren't providing actual routing functions like OSPF or ISIS..they just take a public IP from your ISP and then NAT this to RFC1918 private space for your home network
they usually also provide DHCP services and will include the DNS server information in the DHCP response they obtained via DHCP from your ISP so you can auto configure your PCs with both IP and DHCP information.
some also will act as a DNS proxy and pass a DNS request sent to them to your ISP DNS addresses but not all include this functionality

I also had a problem with all my shares being discarded. Turns out I had my wire from the RPI to the board on the wrong set of pins. Double triple check all those
i got my 3 miners today .. but when i try to run them everything is discarded.. any suggestion what to do here ?
Wait, discards are just shares below difficulty. If you have a high worker diff set on the pool side it can take a while before a share is over the diff and gets accepted. I don't know what pool you were using, but back in the day when I was using ghash (don't judge me they were small at the time) the default worker diff was 512 even though it claimed it was 16.
How long did you try running the miner for?

Triple check the wiring from the Pi to the modules. Do just one module at a time, from the Pi to the right hand connector with fans facing away. Check red line alignment.
Try connecting the pi with a different board, as well as changing the board_num to 1. This means only 1 board is mining. You can check which board is not working properly.
sudo nano /var/www/run.sh
Then start cgminer via the web interface
Then start cgminer via the web interface
just make sure you don't make any changes via the web interface because cgminer_update.php has code to overwrite your config changes to run.sh
Has anyone been able to edit the cgminer config file by SSH into the r-pi to allow for solo mine? I have mine running fine with servers but I cannot get it to connect correctly to my node. I think that I need add: --btc-address to the config file but you can't do that with the webgui.
*UPDATE*
Per BTCGarden support, the code to edit the cgminer config file manually on the pi is:
sudo nano /var/www/run.sh
Then start cgminer via the web interface

Anyone run into the issue of hashrate dropping after a few hrs?
Yeah, sometimes CGMiner just needs to be rebooted
Dogie,
Wuff a corsair 750 CXM power 2 units (4 boards) or should I get a bigger PSU?

Its pushing the power down each cable strand quite a bit, but overall power consumption is fine.
i am unable to download the firmware up date from the source provided. is there any other place to get the firmware?
I have the zip file downloaded.
Edit: Here you go. Unmodified, as downloaded from btcgarden

Thanks!

Thank you!
I've got 1222 GH/s hashing from 4 units with 2 corsair cxm 750's.
So far so good! Thanks BTCGarden.
It's even better knowing that I got my AM-V1 miners before a single S3 was shipped!

I'm running two off of a CX750 - seems to be fine!
