Yea...200 is a lot... but I'm just try to get 5 running right now... HOW YOU KNOW I GOT 200?
And tune them in!
So you say fire up the 12v then the 5v...ok
So ... can u use cgminer for LTC mode? 
What about sgminer?

How many miners do you have? 200? Whew!

I don't think cpuminer can handle that many simultaniously.
Better try cgminer or bfgminer. They both show local and pool hash rates which I would feel are important to monitor, especially when running hundreds of these buggers at once!

I use cpuminer and just put up with no local hash rate being displayed. It's a de-fault- of cpuminer. Stupid one too! cpuminer is easy to set up and get running for the most part for greenhorns and newbs.

If your red LED is not flashing then your hasher is not hashing .
It will be on for a few seconds and off for a few seconds while hashing and producing completed work.
Green LED means the 5V USB power is live and the driver hardware is powered up.
You must have 12V enabled in order for your hash chips (ASICs) to hash.

Procedure is fire up the 12V first. Wait a few seconds then plug in and power up your 5 volts via USB.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you get them rockers rockin!
I'm excited for you! 200 miners! Fukkin eh!

I only have 6 right now. Wish I could afford 200! Damm!

I'm going to be converting over to cgminer or bfdminer soon so I can monitor local hash rates too since now I'm over-volting and over-clocking them. Just did my first one and it's working out fairly well.
Still some tweaking to do though.

Pea Ess, when your hashers are ah-hashin. you'll see the results pool side start to tally in seconds, not minutes in most cases.
I just use my pool side hash rates to monitor local performance although they are average rates, not real time literal like the local rate is.

What pool... check your credentials... pools will take your shares even without credentials matching... you won't get credit though.

yea... cpuminer...
but nothing showing up on pool either...

what soft are you runing to mine? cpuminer does not show speed

So... I have my miners  hooked up and running...
Lights say they are mining... Blinking Green, Solid Red
Screen Looks like its mining...  Lots of "accepted"  but (0.00 kh/s ) in front of (Yay!!!)
No Hash rate showing at Pool after 30 min.

Any ideas?

Thanks but, I have a spare PS that came in the kit.  Just looking for simple barrel to wire cables.  Digikey has some, but they are too expensive.  I'll try Dealextreme next.

Also, if you do decide to use SD formatter the option to resize will make it 8GB.

If you use Win32DiskImager it will just wipe out the SD card entirely so you don't have to worry about formatting it.

How do I write new Wheezy file on SD card which already has Wheezy ?

I know that windisk can do it but I need to format that SD card and put new Wheezy on it.

SD formater is saying that I have 56MB SD card but card is 8GB.

can't find you on skype

Anyone have a lead onthe 2.5mm power cables that come with the full kits?  I have an extra PS lying around and thinking of putting it to use...

ok pm me a number i can call you on
or we can use Skype

Hi where are i can help I'm in the UK

Guys,
I'm absolute retard from Raspberry pi and all I can do with it is put SD card in and power it up.

I have done this

I configured a few things on first boot:
Expand the image to fill the card
Change password
Change startup method (Text only)

Now in PUTTY it is asking me for "LOG IN AS"  
What is login name - I didn't set any login name and "raspberry" or "root" doesn't work.

I have changed password to "0000" but I didn't set any login name.

Can somebody help me please ?
Thank you very much

Hey.
Cool experiment!
I'm very interested in the results. Would be great to have a way to get better odds of making a bit more profit from the work your miners do, eh?

What comm port drivers are you using? STM? Is there a link to where I can get the right ones?
What are the basic instructions for setting up bfgminer.
I'd be converting over from cpuminer power saver version. I'm running Scrypt only.
How fine are the overclock steps in bfgminer?
Thanks

So this is what I've done now:

Create a launch.bat with:


And then create the helper batch file (my_minions.bat) with the correct COM ports from device manager. Assuming you are not too OCD and use simple user names of 1-10 and just a single password for all workers :p



It seems to be doing better. Previously with one worker, the pool was ramping up the difficulty very quickly to 2000+, but now I see each worker getting a diff of about 100-200. Will let it run for a while and see how that works out.


Since its harder to monitor 10 open windows, so now just going by pool worker stats to keep an eye. The good thing is at pools like scryptguild you can set per worker notifications when one has been idle for x minutes, so maybe easier to manage that way.

Ahh cool ... 10 windows but at least this way, can manage the difficulty better.

Easy to check but if you know already: do the COM ports assigned to the GS stay the same, even after hub restart. Wondering if I should stick a label on each GS, so in case of bumps, can just restart the affected GS instead of reseting all from the psu/hub
