i am running 0.2.3a and my load is allways is the high 300's should i be worried? this is a fresh install and i am running 8 erupters on it

i assume i should just Ignore it just like the post was? It is hovering 380%-450% load now

hard to say, I've never seen any of my rPi's run that high, I have seen a high of about 150% when using CGMiner 3.4.3, was the only time I've seen a high load other than on the initial startup.

SSH into the box and see if the numbers match up to the WebUI, could be a miscalculation somehow.

either do:

Code:

cat /proc/loadavg

or

Code:

uptime

from the command prompt and let us know the results.

Can someone tell me how to get the http stats screen working after changing from cgminer to bfgminer? I just stopped the cgminer service and started the bfgminer one.

You will have to reboot. The miners use different ways of accessing the devices and they tend to lock the devices into their chosen driver pattern.

Still getting the "Miner DOWN" web page. I'm using the latest http git pull on minepeon 0.2.2

responded in your other thread.

Are these still the most current instructions for switching to bfgminer?

Go to WebUI > Miner > Options and add these:
S   all
icarus-options   115200:1:1
icarus-timing   3.0=100

Now start bfgminer like this:
sudo systemctl stop cgminer.service
sudo systemctl disable cgminer.service
sudo systemctl enable bfgminer.service
sudo systemctl start bfgminer.service

I tried this and it kept trying to start and stop and finally gave up.

Possible to just have this added to the web UI?

Neil - If you recommend not doing the git pull as an update method, I won't. My miner still has another month or so to arrive and there is no sense in running some commands for not.
It is no problem to wait and just burn another image when released as I'm not even using that Pi yet. If I misunderstand just let me know, otherwise I'll wait.

Thanks for all your help (still giving you 15 mins with the erupters but you'll like the next rig much much more ;-)

Appreciated,
IAS

What is the best way to practice an update (on one of my Pi's) and do I just use the commands above? I'm going to use one of them for when my Bitburner (bitfury) miner arrives in a month or so and would like to practice the updates and such.

Thanks,
IAS

Hopefully by the time the fury devices start to hit the market both cgminer and bfgminer will support them (there are branches in both git repositories going through testing right now) and by inheritance minepeon will support them as well.

I plan to make a release as soon as the branches are merged into main.

In the meantime if you login via ssh you can;-

cd /opt/minepeon/
git pull

To get the latest versions of the miners and;-

cd /opt/minepeon/http/
git pull

to get the latest version of the webui.

Be warned though, there can be issues upgrading like that. Just ask if you have issues either here or on the minepeon forums.

In the next updated, supported for bitfury chips with bfgminer/cgminer (USB RedFury)?

Thanks for all

Beastlymac sent a 'preview' board to con from cgminer and con is working on it now (very smart of Beastlymac).

So, while I wont have much to do with it, yes they will be supported so. All I have to do is;-

git clone
./autogen.sh
./configure [bla bla bla]
make
make install
git push

Neil/anyone,

I am running the following on my two Raspberry Pi's:

Apologies if I missed it but is there a way to simply reorder the pools or switch pools easily?

Press P when viewing the miner in SSH

We've been trying to get minepeon work with our rigs. Apparently Luke-Jr has a bitfury branch of BFGMiner that has all necessary code. Would be great to have an update of minepeon with this version.

I am hesitant to push branches out to the general public (Luke-Jr keep them as branches until he is confidant that the code is 100%) but if you want point to to the specific branch in github you would like and I will make you a custom image for testing.

Neil

I will definitely be testing when the blue fury's come in Wink

So, if there's anything special that needs to be done within MinePeon I'll make a write up unless someone beats me to it Wink

is there a way to disable CPU mining from bfgminer on minepeon? for some reason it always starts CPU mining on the RPi... I can disable it once in bfgminer, but on startup, it starts up every time
