Hello,
Don't know if that's the right place to ask that question but here I go: I'm having a bug issue. When I plug more than two Gridseeds on my Raspberry Pi, the PI just freezes when the miner starts or when th pi boots. I can't figure out why since there is apparently nothing in the logs. I have tried with different Raspberry Pies but of different generation but always got the same results. I thought memory/swap could be the problem but do you think it could be the Pi which doesn't deliver enough power to USB? Something with Serial communication?
I haven't tried yet to launch cpuminer manually to figure out if it would do the same thing. I'll do a test tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
question are you only using the PI, by that I mean just the ports on the PI no external USB hub , if so you may need a self powered USB 2 hub with 2 to how ever ports you want 2 to 20 etc . the PI in some cases can and can't power it own ports if that makes sense, it may freeze up. so buy a USB 2 self powered hub. why I say USB 2 is no PI yet i know of can use a USB 3 and may not work with a PI even if it says it will default to USB 2 in most cases it doesn't .
which PI : PI one PI b model or the PI 2 B model . how are they powered etc.
TIP : if you have a USB 3 hub laying around not being Used or bought by mistake, they can power any PI , Ive tried, done it , and it works well as one way of powering 1 or two PIs, with the right plug with one USB 3 hub .
