Thats a nice setup!

Thanks for this....were trying to find bugs on our end but need feedback from you guys for stuff we missed (I guess the lack of issues is a good thing other than a few minor shipping damage).

-The fan should shutoff on shutdown, might have to check our logic on the fan pin...Does it do this every time because were not seeing this on our end
-If you shutdown the unit wont restart until you unplug/replug power. Use the "reboot" command for this in the system options.
-Pool changes should show you a "Miner needs to restart" button on the top...you should not need a full reboot though...ill do some more digging on this one.

got a text earlier from fedex £54.95 to pay here in the uk and i was hoping I'd gotten away with it too lol

Feedback
had my units for almost 24 hours now running pretty smoothly but I've had some minor software issues:

shutdown of one of the units caused the fan to run at full speed continuously after a shutdown
a unit failed to start after shutdown power cycle solved this
unable to change pool order until restart on one system, seems fine now

case:
the gap between the 12v connectors and the case is too small making it difficult to plug or unplug my psu due to the latch

just like the MLD's these are a great product that I could happily recommend simple to use even for a first time miner/Luddite  GJ

Shell creds are futurebit/futurebit. As a friendly reminder, don't put this on a public network because ssh is running on default port 22.

There is not "User" field. Only password.

And password is empty on initial boot. You must set it to something. So... remember what pwd you use.

Yea once we have the full node running well were going to be able to do cool stuff like this. All this stuff will be provided as free updates for you guys in the coming months.

Thanks for this philipma - I was wondering what it looked like. I'm expecting my absolute UNITS (the first batch) later this week and I've been imaging my SD cards most of the afternoon (a joyful exercise to be sure)... wondering what the UI looked like. Honestly, can't wait until I get them running.

Now, my question is... jstephanop - do you have any plans on putting p2pool node software on them (or maybe some instructions for us to do so) - so we can run the miners on our own node without having to build one ourselves? Are the capable of running a node?

I mean, running them on litecoinpool is so boring... and if I could get a node built on one of the rigs, I'd be happy to point the rest of my rigs at it and have some real fun.

I've said it in personal email, reddit and twitter... but I'll say it again here. I'm so pleased to be supporting jstephanop, LTC and the community by buying and running these rigs. If I had a choice, I'd ditch my Chinese Shitmain gear and mine just with these, but I need coin...

Oh, and I second the call for the shell creds... I'll definitely want to poke around the back-end of the controller looking for opportunities to improve/tailor these a bit!

Rgds,
r00tdude

EDIT - I guess this is all I needed: http://p2pool.in/ - now will just need the shell creds and I can install and configure the node myself   

What's the shell user/pass?

Nice.  BTW the new plates can today they look good to go.

I will photo later

Yep, that will be updated on the next release. The fan requires at least 10% to startup, but we have some updated logic that will allow it to fall back to 5% on the next image release.

Hello,

received my Apollo today in Austria, additional 68 EUR customs, whatever.
Any recommendations for the PSU, haven't bought one yet? I just have one Apollo.
I will bring it to life at Christmas time.

Cheers
WB

Hi jstefanop,
 please give us the possibility to lower the fan rotation to near the 1000-1200 rpm. Currently the minimum is 10% which corresponds to 1400-1500 rpms near 60ºC. I want my Apollos to be quieter  .

here it is

 note cracked panel



and the apw5 and the l3+


zip tie is a temp spacer until new panels come. I do not want a short

Phil any photos of it hooked up along with the l3+ to the Apw5?

Here is a gui shot

Hi all !
So i got one of this beauty this Week ! (Received in France without problem And faster than excepted ( doesnt havé any tax import.. ) )Works like a charm except the wifi connection...
Powered with a corsair vs550.
I have some questions :
- What the apollo web shows with accepted shares ? Thats not the real numbers of accepted Share i got in the pool .
- is there a console view like we got with bfgminer ?
- can we set a manual diff for our apollos ?
And final question : do you will make a discount for those why pre-ordered one cause i think i'll buy one more ...
Thanks for this jfstefanop!

he has them for sale today I got one.

Thanks for the fast reply and the tip pointed me in the correct direction I am running two routers that are bridged bridged to get 5Ghz Wi-Fi on the newer router. It was plugged into the wrong router! Should have checked that first oh well, all fixed.

That means your devices are not getting an internet connection from your router. Double check that there is not issues with your ethernet cable/router settings (router needs to be set to provide automatic DHCP).
