i recommend grabbing some of the cheep ones from e-bay like this one

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/10-Ports-Splitter-USB-HUB-2-0-High-Speed-AC-Power-Adapter-for-Laptop-PC-Blue-/330907999621?pt=US_USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item4d0ba75d85

I use one of those and I'm waiting for 2 more. I use it with a multivolt power unit that gives me 7,5Amperes @ 5volts.

and the cutting the power cord and wiring 4 of them to one of these

have you tried wiring better power to the jaycar?

yeh, i got 2 of those 10 port ones with another 3 on the slow boat from china running on an atx psu. Hoping they arrive soon so I can finally get it sorted. There is very few options locally which is why I ended up with the one from jaycar.

I agree......I have one with 9 erupters attached to a pi.......no problems.....I wired it to a PC PSU

For those interested the dodgy hub was from jaycar.

Yeah, I have one of those... I let the magic smoke out and it does not work anymore. I suspect that the power supply is not up to the 3 amps it says it can do, the tracks on the PCB certainly aren't.

I've tracked some issues to a dodgy hub, I have rearranged them best I can but still have the dodgy one in my setup due to a shortage of ports.

Weird how 0.2.2 didn't care but 0.2.3 goes nuts, am back on 0.2.2 until new hubs arrive. I have now cut the 5V line sucessfully with my new arrangement.

For those interested the dodgy hub was from jaycar.

It now only works on 3 ports, any erupter plugged in after the 3rd port goes from idle to constantly flashing as if its getting interference on the line voltage (thats my guess anyway), so if anyone else has these hubs keep an eye on them.

I was pushing it way above spec with an uprated psu, she was running 7-8 erupters for the last month.

I was trying to figure out what version I'm running (is that possible to do remotely from the webpage?), and I noticed that many of the web pages at http://mineforeman.com/ don't work - I get 404 errors.

This page apparently no longer exists, for example:
http://mineforeman.com/2013/07/15/minepeon-0-2-3-release/

Thanks for pointing that out.. it should be fixed now.

I have been having problems with my http server and I am moving it to a new one and I forgot to copy the .htaccess file Kiss

.

You should see a label for MinePeon Version on the front web page with the version beside it, if you dont your running a very old version :p .

Oh no! Not again! cgminer: LATEST-IS-3.4.0

Its in testing now, there are quite a few optimisations in it, very nice for low powered devices like the Raspberry PI.

Expect it in git before the end of the day.

Interesting... my RPI started rebooting several times a day after using the new 0.2.3 MinePeon image. I don't know if it's the LCD... I'm going to not start the LCDStatus program to see if the RPI does more reboots.

My RPI restarted again 3 hours ago, this time without the LCDStats python2 program running. Definitely something is wrong with this last distribution.

Did it restart OK? Also were you running 0.2.3 or 0.2.3a?

Neil

0.2.3. Both RPI and cgminer restart (I would love to see cgminer keep mining with the OS doing a reboot... Grin

) with no problems and I don't loose almost anything, as it only fails to mine for several seconds.

I'm going to write the new 0.2.3a (already download from SourceForce) in a SD card and later on, after arriving home, I'll try the new version.

UPDATE: Neil, the new 0.2.3a is identified as 0.2.3 (without the a) @ the Status Page. Is it normal?

New update: I started the new 0.2.3a version and my RPI rebooted after 5 minutes. The LCD was working.

After that reboot (all restarted without problems), the RPI is now working for 2 hr 18 min 42 sec without other problems. LCD is working fine.

Restarted again after 3 hr 30 sec. Working fine again after reboot.

hello I'm running 0.2.3a so i can run the adafruit display and it mostly works great except my "average" hash rate always shows 0.05mhash/s and that doesn't bother me as the 5s average is allays showing correctly! I'm just wondering if there is any way to edit Piminer so the lcd shows the 5sec average instead of the total average?

OK here is what i got.......from last nite to this morning

I have been running for 12 hour on 0.2.3.
CGminer is running fine...on SSH ...I can see this....
LCD is running fine connected to Pi.....I can see this.....
Pi IP/miner.php is running fine ......I can see this......

WEBUI

even tho the webui shows that CGminer is hashing ,....by the graphs.......
I am showing zero hashing and zero devices on the on the colored blocks on the /advanced.html#/status
and zero devices hash on the graph page....

the colored blocks with cgminer summery is red with 0
and the colored block with devices is yellow and reads 0/1
also 0 hash at the bottom of the graphs page

So ...I force a restart to the miner.....then every thing starts working normially

This has happened too 2 morning in a row....
first one was a panic. this one is more take notes and report...
IS THIS A BUG....Has anyone else seen this..

~~could someone direct me to the 0.2.3a download, I really want to give this a go.~~

I asked google... Sorry Roll Eyes

-----------------------------
OK I gave 0.2.3a a go and I seem to get my erupters going idle randomly,
so randomly that their is barely a second when there is not 1 device idle. looks real pretty though.

Neil this is just to give you and others some feed back,
It may be nothing wrong with the image as their defiantly seems something screwy with my setup..
