How can I use MinePeon and bfgminer (or cgminer) to detect the USB ports and also this bitfury via SPI?

I received yesterday a bitfury, from Spain, and it connects to the RPI via SPI and not via USB.

This might be too far fetched, but,
I have a cgminer instance on my network with the api enabled. I want to be able to pull stats into minepeon, just as the local cgminer does.
Can this be done? Getting the LCD to work was easy since I just had to specify the api IP on the network.

Yes it can be done, I was doing it for awhile, just takes some modifying of the Python script.

How about 64 USB Erupters + a BFL Jalapeno??
Added the jalapeno a couple days ago, but 64 are a star configuration to a single rhb-500 root hub, that root hub feeds the rPi (the white cable goes to the BFL Jalapeno).
------------------------------------------------------------
Great setup!
Can I ask what is powering the fans?
Peace.
the fans are being powered by a 12v (if memory serves me right it's a 12v 1a, but possibly a 12v 2a) power adapter I converted long ago for another project to a 4-pin molex with a voltage regulator to step down the 12v to a 5v on the 5v output (so it acts as a typical 4-pin molex, 12v (yellow) - ground (black) - ground (black) - 5v (red) ) - which I have going into a 4-pin to 6x 3pin fan split, it seemed to run all the fans at full speed without any problems (versus using a PSU which did the same thing).

I will say I found a key to starting up so many... it takes the USB's (at least the RHB-500) a few seconds to recognize that a computer (in this case the rPi) has been turning on, if I were to let MinePeon boot normally it would only see about 54 erupters (as the other usb hubs are still "turning on" (realizing a computer is there) you can tell this on the RHB-500's due to the nice green indicator light at the front of the hub. So, I delay the miner start up on boot by 20seconds... which corrects the issue and allows for the hubs to "start up" and always boots all 64 without issues if I ever have to reset.
How many BEs are you able to run on each of those RHB-500 hubs? Did you upgrade the PSU on them?8x Erupters per hub, I didn't have much luck when trying to switch them to running off a PSU, I had a cheap 450watt and I hooked up one of the hubs to it, had problems running 6x Erupters... I may try tomorrow with a different PSU, but I'm fine running 8x per, it's been stable over a week this way.

I thought I saw it somewhere but I can't find it, how do I add a delay on the start of the miners?
You need to be using the latest pre-release from;-
http://minepeon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=291
And then on the settings page add a;-
sleep 60 (where 60 is the seconds you want to wait)
After the bit that says "#!/bin/bash" but before the bit that starts you miner.

My condolences.
Hahahahahaha that's hilarious
Not as hilarious as using CGMiner and watching it fail to recognize 50% of the miners...
My condolences.

how many devises have you successfully run with th pi? When I try to run my setup it crashes the pi every time. I have 57 erupters running on 10 d-link 7 hubs. All are connected to a Rosewill 10 port. It runs just fine on my Debian setup on cgminer. I have been able to get one hub with 6 erupters working but no more then that.

Use the default settings, so far I have been able to run 40 (that is all I have) stable. It will be interesting to see if you can beat my record.

That is a work of art

What could be wrong, Neil?
Can you log in via ssh and do;-
chmod +x /opt/minepeon/etc/init.d/miner-start.sh
I may have inadvertently introduced a but in updating

Ill check it out tonight and see what happens. It would be great to be running them off the pi considering that was my original plan.
