The miner_start.sh didn't work and I had to adjust the start file. I then connected the Apollo to the MCU 2 version of the SCB board via USB. The power consumption of "only" 80 watts doesn't seem to be correct. A fully synced SSD 1 TB from the Apollo 1 doesn't seem to work either. I'm really looking forward to the V2, which will be released tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to being able to repair more of your devices.
I made the following notes during installation.
Orangepi4-lts_3.0.6_ubuntu_jammy_desktop_xfce_linux5.18.5.img # flash SD-Card
root/orangepi # user/pass
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot
# Download and start Image-install
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/dev/backend/image_install
chmod 755 image_install
./image_install dev
Yes, there still seem to be a lot of bugs in the code and the bash installation cannot work because the "dev" attribute is missing. You are welcome to integrate me as a beta tester, as I currently have two devices here to be repaired.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/dev/backend/install-v2 | sudo bash # "dev" attribute is missing
but in Code need attribute "dev"
if [ "$1" = "dev" ]; then

FYI dev branch still has a bunch of bugs we are working through which is why we havent released anything yet.
Actually surprised you were even able to install it yourself, on the current OS since we have designed it for ubuntu 22.04 and 6.x kernel...
Should have a beta image out for all MCU2 Apollos by Friday, and MCU1 next week.

edited: nvm fixed my problem 
note to selfs
Dont turn computer down first without first powering down apollo miner
on standalone miners
im 10 days old mining with the miner and turned my computer off while apollo was not mining but still running.
as soon as i turned off my computer becuase it crashed. and had to hold power button on computer. the apollo power supply now makes a buzzing noise since doing that, and its not from the fan on power supply

Hi I am New to futurebit mining
on my standard apollo It is blinking on and off Red light
is that normal? I am mining bitcoin with it currently
not sure if I am mining as fast as I should be.
thanks!

Yes, the blinking light means the unit is operating correctly and mining

I'm looking for a guide that helps tune the apollo btc to improve watts/TH. I can't seem to find any kind of link or article in this thread or from an actual internet search engine. Anyone done any work on this made public?
The most efficient default mode is ECO. That means you get the most TH per Watt in that mode out of the box.
You can then start fine tuning the startup script with different setting to get what you want. Personally I like to run it even lower than ECO to be able to basically run the whole miner virtually silent and still get around 1TH/s.

Hi,
My Apollo 1 BTC Full node suddenly stopped running with no changes made on my side. Only the cooling fan was running at high speed with no LED's or lights on for the board or the NIC.
Successfully flashed a new SD card with the latest image but NO change.....
It will not boot and no lights are coming on. Only the cooling fan.
Is there ANY after sales support for the Apollo's? Or do I just own an expensive paperweight at this point?
Thanks!

We dont really monitor this forum anymore...all support is doing through email on the site, just either reply to your order email or reach out via contact form.
Also In the process of revamping our support site on a real support platform + knowlegebase...hope to have all that done after which ship out the initial Apollo II's
Appreciate the reply here and the update. Looking forward to the new support platform and will continue to reach out by email.
Thanks!

Can I point the FutureBit Apollo to a testnet mining pool or solo testnet mine?
I tried pointed it to a local Public Pool instance that's sitting on a testnet Bitcoin Core, but the FutureBit Apollo shows the pool as inactive (I even tried rebooting the futurebit).
Do I also need to update the FutureBit bitcoin.conf to testnet=1 and reboot--I would have thought the pool is doing the work of the testnet node behind the scenes...

the UI is not setup for testnet, with the launch of Apollo OS 2 you'll be able to switch to test net to test your solo mining setup (not on initial release but its in the works for a . release)

has anyone tried to add btc usb miners to their futurebit apollos?
i'm just wondering if its possible to add like a USB hub and add some compact f usbs
i'm just wondering if its possible to add like a USB hub and add some compact f usbs
It depends on the model you got.
The full model is basically the miner and a mini pc, so you should be able to connect any other miner to it, like a compac F for example.
If, on the other hand, you bought the miner only, then you don't have a computer in there to connect the miner. In fact you need a host computer to run this version of the Apollo. In that case you can use say a Raspberry Pi, and that Pi can also be connected to a compac F for example.
So, at the end of the day, if you have an Apollo mining correctly now, you should be able to add a compac F to the system that is running it.

Do I also need to update the FutureBit bitcoin.conf to testnet=1 and reboot--I would have thought the pool is doing the work of the testnet node behind the scenes...
I tried pointed it to a local Public Pool instance that's sitting on a testnet Bitcoin Core, but the FutureBit Apollo shows the pool as inactive (I even tried rebooting the futurebit).

You should be able to connect to it.
Here's a guide I wrote to do just that, using a compac F as example, but should work the same with the Apollo:

Hello , Today my apollo stopped the mining.
I looked at the raw stats and it shows : "brokenPwc": 4
it seems that is the problem ... what is that is it broken forever ?
Thanks you

Can I point the FutureBit Apollo to a testnet mining pool or solo testnet mine?
