I still don't get why you guys are running your miners on Rpi's, that shit is so unstable, mine would crash with just 10 miners connected.
For $20 shipped you could buy yourself a Tp-link 703N and install Lightningasic firmware, and run 50+ miners on it (or 100+ if you have modded the RAM to 64MB).

Where do you get lightning asic firmware?

I will pay 5 LTC for anyone who can help me figure out why my 20 seed rig on raspberry pi crashes everytime on startup. 10 seeds works fine, 15 seeds works fine, 20 seeds auto crash. Payment to the person who solves it! Running Controla image on the pi. 2x10 port shitty ass USB hubs but I dont see why they would be the issue I have tried many diff hubs and get the same result. Powered by 2x360w12v30a power supplys.

In my case it helps to connect only one USB-Hub with the PI and plug the further hub in the plugged. Don't know why, but the pi can handle now 20 devices stable without any reboot since 14h

Could you tell me which USB hubs you are using? Wink

Has anyone else found this version of the Controlla to be even more unstable than the previous version? I keep dropping some or all of my units. Restarting or rebooting doesn't help, only physically shutting down power and restating works. And then I get maybe a couple of hours and it happens again.

Interesting, I will try this. Have you had any issue with the powered USB ports? Do you know if it has to be a certain amperage capability?

500mA

I have seen this 500ma number thrown around a lot however there is no 10 port usb hub that I can find that actually supports 5AMPS across 10 ports to have 500ma/port. Can anyone post a link to a usb hub they are using which works for them with 20 units and a pi? The ones I have are trash its just odd that they would work for 15 units but not for 20...

For 5 LTC you could split the load, and buy anpther pi, it's probably the usb hubs though,

Try to daisychain your hubs insted. so hub2 -> hub1 -> pi - with just 1 usb cable.

Could be an issue with conflicting data on the hubs or so.

I am running 100 Gridseed units on 5 pi's same results over 40 tested units/2 pi's now. It is not the pi as far as I can tell.

(edit) The next 20 seed system i tested can only run 13 seeds without auto crash.

Which version of controla are you running? and in what mode? Scrypt or SHA/Dual? the latter does not work well with so many devices, because it uses cgminer.

Not to be a dick but why not just get another rPi? They're cheap as dirt.

i got HASHRA on my pi with 31 grid seeds only 29 showed up. it is still mining but not i cant login via login.php i did not change the password. if i type a incorrect password/username in the login page says "Access denied" but if i use hashra/hashra if just reload the page. any advice beside rewite to card or do a manualy restart on how to gain access. or how to get it to see all my devices?

Thanks

too many devices on The pi. it's been tested to run properly on 20 devices. 25 max

Updated to hashra controla 1.33 but I can access anymore to the web interface nor ping the raspberry, seems having some issues with the DHCP...anyone have experienced it?

Does the yellow and green leds light up on the PI? if only the red leds light up, it means your SDCard is corrupted. If all leds light up, then the PI is alive, and probably got assigned a different IP address. Check your internal network for new devices (in the router, or FING app)

Yes the green leds are on, the image is not corrupted since I've logged directly to the raspberry and checked for the connection...a ifconfig command returns me UP BROADCAST MULTICAST for the eth0 but not IP assigned...I've also tried to assign manually the ip but still I can't see the it on the network
The raspberry is connected to a little tp-link switch and prior the 1.33 I've had no issues...any suggestion? Roll Eyes

Hmm no suggestions other than reinstall a fresh img on the sdcard. the firmware updates do not go outside the /var/www directory. It simply replaces the php files. So no system configuration is changed during a controla update.

sorry man.

I tought the update was related only to the web implementation but wasn't sure, thanks for confirming it...also I've just connected the raspberry to the office network and it works good (included the web interface). So the issues is related to my home connection... go figure what is, sorry for the misunderstanding Roll Eyes
