'The right to privacy matters'
I have seen a few mentions of gridseed in the bfgminer thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.0;topicseen

I think they are probably concerning the single chip gridseed but bfgminer support would be the best option I think. Luke-Jr has already made contact with Lightningasic so perhaps we should all ask in his thread.

yeah frankly I don't want to go nuts setting up the one I pruchased.
 I am running 9 gpus at wemineltc.com 
I figured I would get one 5 chip piece to play with  but I am a bit tired  of setups.

I spent a while setting up:

ant miner s-1's
ant miner u-1's
and ltc with wemineltc.

I would like an easy setup for a change

We should start a bounty for a raspberry controller ... implementation ... so we can get ride of the controller ... and have 20-40 units connected to a raspberry ... .-)

jep p. this one gona be closed source ... we need an open source implementation, so everyone can benefit, we don't want an other apple mining machine ...

I am using all units on the controller, when i am getting that error message







Let's assume you could install the controllers driver correctly ...

what would you like to do ... then?
I would like to

use the web interface to manage the units , set the mining address, and monitor hash rate with all 10 units routing through the usb bridge ,

correct ?

- I just tried using the custom cpuminer , with all units plugged directly to the pc using the usb hub, and 10 minerd.exe running  that seemed to work,


----------------

- the driver package with the preinstaller.exe seems to install the drivers. However the controller is not detected still , and is not listed in the device manager.

- same error in the web interface  system log " usb hub not found "

Small question, would it be possible to power one USB miner with 12V and 1A for only scrypt mining?

It can't damage anything right when trying?

How much does a UBS take in power?

If it is rated at 12V and 1A then yes you can use it.

Understand this:

Voltage has to be exactly the same. Amp has to be equal or bigger. What I mean:

TO power up a 12V 1Amp device you have to have a 12V Power Supply with at least 1 Amp. You can also have 200Amp it won't matter. Amps is "strenght" but it only pulls what it needs.. Voltage on the other hand can burn the device if you over or under voltage it...

If you have a 0.5Amp power supply to feed an 1Amp device then you will burn the power supply :-)
If you have a 15V power supply to feed a 12V device then you'll burn the device.


Get the picture ?

regards,

P.



Yep, got it. I wasn't sure if scrypt is more or less then 1A ^^ but I think it is around 6 Watt ... so 12V 0.5A should be fine ^^

Greetings all,

my problem is loading the basic controller driver,

I get an error when loading the driver saying "  " the specified inf files could not be copied and installed. Please check your installation "

- the usb bridge is not showing up in my computers Device manager

- I can connect to the controller's ip address with my internet browser

- I see all units plugged in,

- the message in the system log says "usb bus not found , try open the controller power"

I am not sure how to get the driver to load, any suggestions



Hmmm you trying to connect the controller to the PC? for what?

The controller is working on it's own and is using https://openwrt.org/

You might connect to the controller with SSH.

You either use your PC or the Controller to get the Miners work ... but not both.

ahhhh .... great .... I need ... :-)

maybe also could replace the fan with an illuminated one and the whole mining would look much more futuristic ^^ hehehe

I believe it is the 2.5mm internal diameter. This not as common as the 2.1mm cctv ones. You need to buy what they call as 5.5x2.5mm pigtails.

I found a 12V30A power supply and the US power cable for it to go to the wall.

I've been looking for 5.5x2.5mm pigtails but only seem to be finding a ton of 2.1mm (like you said, much more common).  

I'm trying to find a source.  I'm based in the US.

Are those octocables easier to find or something?

This looks like one but it ships out of China and will take way too long to get here.

Just ordered some of these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/300959220193. I will provide an update when they come in to confirm if they fit.

Those look promising.  For the cheap price I'll give one a shot too.

I planning to try one of these that is left over from my FPGA mining days http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/atx-to-dc-power-adapter.html. It looks like they are still for sale and $20 with a quiet PSU is a lot better than three loud industrial switches.

on the chinese forum there is a monitoring plugin ... for wiibox controller

http://www.cybtc.com/thread-5665-1-1.html

here is a google translated version ...


ADO said that first of all introduce the next function note:
 1, applies to wiibox + machine controller +USB controller (integral), currently supports only LTC (or other faux-coin scrypt algorithm) to dig
 Wiibox official code 2, fully abandoned, needy brother please, is it possible to use
 3, machine status, connection status, process count in real time power monitoring automatic operation
 4, guarantee stability at the same time, a sharp rise in mining is

Installation instructions:

1, download the attachment wiibox_ilc-1.0

2, access wiibox IP address your router's admin page students can view DHCP assigned addresses, hostname is a question



3, use SCP or SFTP tool wiibox uploading attachments within the www directory (the default user name and password: root@123456)

4, SSH on your wiibox

5, set the time zone

Code:
 shell#> vim /etc/config/system
 System is subject as follows:
 config system
 option hostname OpenWrt
 option zonename Asia/Shanghai
 option timezone CST-8

6, the ILC installation procedures

Enter the Web Directory
Code:
 shell#> cd /www

Extract the ILC program (official procedures will not be overwritten)
 shell#> unzip wiibox_ilc-1.0.zip

Give the monitor executable permissions
Code:
 shell#> chmod a+x ilc/shell/monitor.sh

To join the ILC monitor to boot automatically run the script, and stop monitoring post for running
Code:
 shell#> vim /etc/rc.local
Quote
/Timer.sh &
this line commented out
 By adding exit 0 before:
Code:
 bash /www/ilc/shell/monitor.sh &
Save and exit



Edit miners information
Code:
 shell#> vim /www/ilc/config/define.php
According to the miners of notes to amend it as your own information, and then save and exit (close Help: Chinese in the SSH may appear as garbled, can refer to the following figure to modify)



Restart wiibox
Code:
 shell#> reboot

7, you're done!

 Wiibox ILC monitor will be started automatically after reboot, mine will run automatically, then open page http://address of your wiibox/ILC will be able to view real-time output for each process, can also be viewed in wiibox /tmp/log/wiibox.log to obtain monitoring logs.

Special Note: after using the ILC, an official admin page is still available, but no action at this time will not take effect, nor status feedback in real time, and viewed only by ILC.

for Germany i will try this / in Deutschland werde ich folgendes kaufen
...
...

Ich denke die 5A reichen für das dual mining.

Falls man aber mehr als 5 usb miner hat, ist vermutlich das die Lösung.
