So im just curious if there is a way to read or see the firmware that makes the  moonlander run. Any ideas?

I don't know where you got your version of bfgminer from, but download it as instructed on the first page.
If you unzip it and there is still no bfgminer.exe it got eaten by your virus scanner (as also mentioned on the first page)

bfgminer-rpc is not the droid you're looking for.

This is what I have:

bfgminer-rpc.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u Abhilitecoin.1 -p 1,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600
pause


How about trying: bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u Abhilitecoin.1 -p 1,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600

I keep getting error "Failed to resolve host -o"

Please help!!

You put your pool info wrong when you edited the startup script.

is a 4-port USB hub powered at 3A each port should give 1A.

That's not enough... See also page 1 of this thread. The problem you have is power related.


Also, and has been written in this thread numerous times, start easy and then increase speed/pot settings.
So, start with two units at say 600Mhz, and dial mem and core pots back to the minimum while it still keeps running good.
Then increase frequency one or a few steps, and IF NEEDED, increase pots. If not, don't do anything. Repeat this process until you get at the desired or max feasible frequency on your system.

Goodmorning everyone,

I have a problem with my moonlander2.

I started my experience with a single moonlander2 with a powered usb hub and a raspberry and everything worked great with a frequency of 756

I bought a second moonlander2 and the problems started Sad

they worked for 10/20 minutes, then one of them stopped working and the second one gives me this error every two minutes

 [2018-03-06 11:16:35] Accepted 00582543 MLD 0  Diff 11m/3m

is there any command or tools to figure out if it is ruined or resurrect the second moonlander2?

Sad a bad Tuesday

That sounds like a power problem. How much your hub can provide per port and total on all ports? You need to know that, otherwise it will be hard to troubleshoot.

I try to find another USB power supply and see how they behave

Then you most likely:

- don't have a common ground or
- you cut supply to the USB chip as well or
- Your power supply doesn't supply a stable enough voltage at low startup current.

If you use a 'standard' ATX computer power supply, they don't really work well at very low loads. See here for a description and solution:

https://mysite.du.edu/~etuttle/electron/elect62.htm


I don't get it.
PSU  is a dedicated 5V limited at 10A that can be regulated. I set it to 5.15V and have over 4.95V directly on the moonlanders.
I tried another smaller 4-pot hub that has a better layout, dual layer well grounded and I can see the + from the usb plug going directly to the 4 sockets and the switch just adds the ext power where I solder on my 5V.
I plug in only 2 MLs but still no devices found.

If I plug one ML directly in the Pi it works fine, apart from the p2p pool issue.
I have done the 2.1A USB hack in the pi by replacing R54 with 10kΩ.

I got the moonlander running on a pi but the pool hasrate is showing 30-40H/s, not a typo that is hash per second.
These are p2p pools and I tried with 2 different pools and two different moonlanders.
Locally it is hashing at around 3.3MH/s 0.5% HW errors and the terminal window shows "something" accepted every 10 seconds or so.
If I plug in my old gridseed in the same set up it shows on the pools the correct 350kH/s.
USB voltage if fine.

Another issue is if I try with a MAC (El Capitan) all I get is:

Code:

The MAC was just to test if I had the same low hash issues as with the pi.
I need it to work with the pi.

Also I wish this moonlander had a proper +5V connection(soldering tab) so I could connect a powerful PSU directly to them rather than bottlenecking the power though a hub.
The cost for such hubs that also transfer data is ridiculous.
Does anybody know a hack to separate the logic 5V from the moonlander's power or would it work if I just lift up the 5V tab from the USB socket on the moonlander and solder my 5V directly onto PCB?  Maybe a ceramic capacitor over the tab and the 5V for AC reference.



Sounds like a pool formatting issue. If its showing 3-4 MH locally and 30-40 H/s on the pool I would assume they got their display number off by some factor. Mac issue is explain in the first post of this thread. Nothing below 10.12 is supported.

Then why does my gridseed show the correct hashrate on the pools?
As said I tried two different pools.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you ACTUALLY mentioned in the OP that ONLY MacOS 10.12 (and 10.13 with disabled SIP) is supported.
...and chuck our older Macs in the land fill Sad

Can someone please help me figure out how to send my miners to 1 or more coins at a time? Currently I can only mine 1 coin at a time. I was hoping there was a way I can set 1  or 2 of my sticks mining different coins at the same time? Is this possible?



This has been covered multiple times here. You need to create two separate bat files specifying which sticks and which pool you want run with each bat file, and run two or more instances of bfgminer at the same time.


there are 63 pages on this thread .. Most of us are newbs. . at least a link please? or something I can copy & paste?

Find the COM ports each stick is connected too. Change the "-S ALL" in bat file to "-S MLD:\\.\COMx -S MLD:\\.\COMx" with x being the com port numbers.

If your using linux the format is MLD:/dev/ttyUSBx


Mr. Stefano . . thank you . . I had to walk away from the computer for a few hours before it finally "sunk in"  . . I got it to work . .thanks again

now each stick will need a new .bat file?

EDIT: NVM . . I got it

If you're soldering anyway, it's probably easier (and safer) to just buy a $5 USB HUB and modify the 5V line there. There's usually already a provision for external power in these.

As easy as indeed cutting the 5V power trace and soldering your own 5V supply to it, and GND. All GNDs are common.


I tried that already but the data transfer is then dead.

This has been covered multiple times here. You need to create two separate bat files specifying which sticks and which pool you want run with each bat file, and run two or more instances of bfgminer at the same time.


there are 63 pages on this thread .. Most of us are newbs. . at least a link please? or something I can copy & paste?

Find the COM ports each stick is connected too. Change the "-S ALL" in bat file to "-S MLD:\\.\COMx -S MLD:\\.\COMx" with x being the com port numbers.

If your using linux the format is MLD:/dev/ttyUSBx


I guess I gotta wait for someone to make a video with instructions in english. .

Come on. Which part you did not understand? Are you one of youtube generation and can't understand written english? Maybe you should give up mining and do some gardening? Easier.


All of it . . I am part of the generation which has just gotten into mining. . Who's not affraid to ask questions. . And who's not affraid to get lambasted for asking such newb questions. . Thanks for your "help"
