Received my unit today and all set up now, very easy to do. Didn't connect any monitor, just used the web interface and went flawlessly. Syncing blockchain now, just on 50% done so that's sweet. Only issue is that I'm mining but no stats are showing up on the dashboard. My pool recognises that I'm mining but nothing on the miner GUI front end. I've left it for about 20 minutes so far and still nothing. Any ideas?
EDIT: It's now been hours and still mining isn't registering on the GUI

Full Node finally finished the blockchain sync. Any guess as to when we will need to upgrade the 500gb to something bigger?

I fired up my Apollo-BTC the other day and noticed that it's sending out a DNS query every five seconds for raw.githubusercontent.com.
Any insight into what it's after up there?

Well it worked for about 15 minutes, got a pool started and soon the red light went solid and I could no longer access the device, the IP address no longer shows up.
Found the IP address after rebooting and now refuses to connect
- after hooking up a monitor and keyboard, nothing to see here, but the miner suddenly starts mining again and I can access it again. Its still in eco mode, Node syncing is about half way finished now, Did something overheat or is the dynamic IP address a problem?
Locked up again after maybe one hour, cannot access with a monitor or through the IP address, no mining is happening on the website and the the blinking redlight and heat from the unit means its doing something, (using electricity).

They system might lock up a few times while its syncing, it should resolve by itself. Node uses up 100% of system resources, mining has priority though and should not stop. If you want to avoid these issues I would recommend you stop mining for ~24 hours while the node completes most of the syncing.
If your in a hot environment it could be that the CPU is overheating and shutting down. While we did extensive tests during syncing and running in ECO mode, it would overheat in certain situations while in Balanced/Turbo.
My node is synched.
I am running eco
my hash board temp is 54c
but my cpu temp is always over 70c
mostly closer to 75c
so on the cpu temp is long term 75c okay what to watch for on cpu temps.
80c?
85c?
If I recall ARM cpu can run hot 🥵 safely.
oh room temp is 75-80f
Excellent, thanks! Downloading and running binary was very easy on normal Linux system.
That being said however, I have quite good Raspberry Pi 2, quad core ARM, which is still running strong, and that's where I want to run Apollo. I don't have Raspberry Pi 4. I could not find source code for your apollo-miner binary. Will there be code released for apollo-miner binary, so I can compile it myself and run on Raspberry Pi 2?
Hardware says:
But I also have plenty of Pi zeros, would love to run miner on that too.

Yea thats on the list, should have binaries for 32bit arm next week.
Any updates on this? Would like to run on Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Zero W, any updates would be much appreciated.
Will try and get this compiled by end of the week, trying to push out the critical bug updates for the main unit first.

The -ao_mode is the auto ASIC tuning mode, you should not touch this. You can ignore the error message...did not have time to fix this for the standard unit software and it does not affect anything.

I've been running my full node unit for over a week now mining BCH on btc.com. Been on Turbo for most of that time. About every other day the miner stops and I have to go into the dashboard and start the miner again. Is this a known issue? Not sure if it's disconnects or the hardware trying to shutdown. Here are the raw stats for fan and temp. It would be really nice to have a failover pool in the event it's caused by disconnects, or at least have the system try to reconnect after 15 minutes or so. Everytime it has happened, I just click start miner and it starts right back up hashing with valid shares.

Most likely a pool/internet connection issue. Next update should auto-restart for these cases.
I'm having the same issue, but I'm running it on eco mode. I've tried it on a couple of pools and it does the same.

Hi,
My unit has finally arrived.
I have just hashboard without controller.
Plugged it in to my Debian PC and used apollo-miner package to start mining. It's working fine so far.
However, It doesn't mine on normal user, only on root.
How can I configure it so I can mine on normal Linux user account, without using root?
Question 2.
How can I speed up the fan? Unit is very hot to touch and fan is spinning very slow, it's inaudible. Using Balanced mode now. I have no problem with faster fan speeds, noise is not an issue at the moment. I'd like to cool unit down more so it lasts longer. Its being that hot to touch make me uncomfortable. apollo-miner program reports:

Your board temp is pretty low..."hot" for this board is over 80c. Keep in mind that the unit is super quiet because we are also dissipating some heat through the aluminum case itself. So that could get 40-50c which will feel hot but is normal.
If you want to control the fan curve you can do so with the two options below (fan speed is 0% @ 50c, and 100% at 80c board temps).
-fan_temp_low 50 -fan_temp_hi 80
those are the default values, but if you want to force it to spin faster just lower both of those temperatures.
Thanks! Will play with these values. Actually I found full description in --help:
Code:
-fan_temp_lowSet board temp at which fan speed should be the lowest (default: 50)
-fan_temp_hiSet board temp at which fan speed should be the highest (default: 80)
-fan_pwm_lowFan PWM if temperature <= fan_temp_low (default: 1)
-fan_pwm_hiFan PWM if temperature => fan_temp_hi (default: 100)
And how can I run without root? I guess some udev rules must be added?

Had connected to ethernet for hours - never showed on router. thanks for info on PSU.
Found an HDMI - DVI adapter - tried direct connect monitor to HDMI on FutureBit - monitor is now dead completely - won't even work on my main system. Great.
Why must everything turn into a "project"? Right now it's just another non-functional toy.

Yes you will need a power supply for the standard unit, if you have enough connections on the existing PSU it might be able to power both (but it seems like you bought the full version with a 200w psu).
Personally I use server PSUs from Parallelminer, so a 750w unit powers 2 units.
In terms of obtaining an IP, it does take some time to register. The Apollo makes it relatively easy to find since the name will pop up as FutureBit and not just some random set of letters or numbers.

I have full version and hash board version.
Do I need another power supply for hash-only? I'm guessing that's a redundant question and the answer is yes. Don't know why I did not understand that on order. Probably because I saw the picture with 3 units daisy-chained together via USB. Pics are powerful and can override common sense, I guess.
More importantly, I obviously do not know what I'm doing.
Connected included power supply to full version, connected ethernet (wired straight to router - line is good). Pulled power from Router and rebooted it. THEN and only then, did I power up the Futurebit.
SPECTRUM is my provider - 300Mbps.
I see by the Ethernet Port's indicator lights on the FutreBit that it is "talking" to the router.
I cannot find an IP address for the FutureBit to set it up. There are NO "not-connected" devices listed on my Router gateway.
I do not have an HDMI monitor nor wired keyboard/mouse, so was relying on Ethernet connectivity @ router to setup.
I can find IP for everything else - wireless and wired - on my entire network.
Spectrum has obfuscated most settings by making you go through a phone ap now. Yes, I am using their equipment. Yes, I know I should tell them to shove it and buy my own, but that's another day.
Any suggestions beyond:
(1) getting another power supply for the hash-board only version (duh, I think)
(2) cannibalizing my 3 screen legacy desktop setup and buy a DVI - HDMI adapter and cheap-0 wired keyboard and mouse?
This is my first mining experience with anything. I have traded crypto for years - but the hardware side of things is a bit confounding to me.
Spectrum's router nonsense is very annoying as well. Used to be able to go in and easily do DHCP/Port forwarding, etc. - now that's difficult.
Thanks to whoever can help.

Not all monitors will work with the controller. The HDMI controller and GPU that drives it is pretty basic so anything other than a straight HDMI monitor with standard resolutions/size probably won't work.
Shoot us an email if your still have issues and well get you up an running.
I have a full package unit and one standard unit. Both were working fine for about 12 hours. After that the standard unit started showing a solid red light in the front and has since show up as "inactive" in the Futurebit OS. Tried rebooting, unplugging then plugging back in, turn off turn on, nothing has worked. The full package unit is still working perfectly but I cannot get the standard unit active. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
Powercycling the standard unit, and rebooting the main unit should make it come up again. Try also making sure both ends of the USB cable are firmly attached, and try a different USB port.
If all of the above still dont work shoot an email to our support (reply to your order email or hello at futurebit dot io).

Hi admin futurebit,
just recieve BTC apolo today and runing well.
But i got an issue of futurebit dashboard,
no show "Current hashrate" and keeps 0
no show "Miner power usage" and keeps 0
no show "Hardware errors" and keeps 0
no show "Miner uptime" and keeps 0
and Status keep stay in "Inactive"
But on the mining pool side monitor shows realtime hash rate around 7.9 Th/s
How to solve the local monitor issue ?

Can you send an email regarding this issue...we had one other report of this and trying to diagnose whats going on.
i already send via https://www.futurebit.io/contact . please check.

Do I need another power supply for hash-only? I'm guessing that's a redundant question and the answer is yes. Don't know why I did not understand that on order. Probably because I saw the picture with 3 units daisy-chained together via USB. Pics are powerful and can override common sense, I guess.
More importantly, I obviously do not know what I'm doing.
Connected included power supply to full version, connected ethernet (wired straight to router - line is good). Pulled power from Router and rebooted it. THEN and only then, did I power up the Futurebit.
SPECTRUM is my provider - 300Mbps.
I see by the Ethernet Port's indicator lights on the FutreBit that it is "talking" to the router.
I cannot find an IP address for the FutureBit to set it up. There are NO "not-connected" devices listed on my Router gateway.
I do not have an HDMI monitor nor wired keyboard/mouse, so was relying on Ethernet connectivity @ router to setup.
I can find IP for everything else - wireless and wired - on my entire network.
Spectrum has obfuscated most settings by making you go through a phone ap now. Yes, I am using their equipment. Yes, I know I should tell them to shove it and buy my own, but that's another day.
Any suggestions beyond:
(1) getting another power supply for the hash-board only version (duh, I think)
(2) cannibalizing my 3 screen legacy desktop setup and buy a DVI - HDMI adapter and cheap-0 wired keyboard and mouse?
This is my first mining experience with anything. I have traded crypto for years - but the hardware side of things is a bit confounding to me.
