This is so sweet.

I would like to build two. One for K1's and one for K16's.

being an avid fan of mining with the pi, which I do already, ill keep an eye on this...

Was looking into putting an lcd shield on myself, but was after more graphical display of my cacti graphs...as I graph the cg/bfg miner api outputs
Pi's work well with the fpga's too

interesting project... all in one.

Another pi miner, my mini rig

havent they just dropped them?

Cool

Sweet.
I´ll try it.

Plenty of room on the i2c bus - LED could def be handy.  Alternatively, could just use an LCD with an RGB backlight and change backlight color per status.
(The LCD in the pics above is actually RGB, just set to green)

If you've got room on the bus, why not stick an RGB LED in there for instant status observation. Red for bad, blue for something, green for good, orange for warning (say if one or more asics isn't happy), etc...

Very cool great job!

The PiMiner project was conceived as a way to turn a Raspberry Pi into a bitcoin mining host 'appliance' with integrated LCD.
The project scripts currently display the following info:

    • Hashrate
    • Error %
    • Share data
    • Pool address & user name
    • Network difficulty
    • Mining duration / Uptime
    • Exchange rate via MtGox

Full tutorial available here:
http://learn.adafruit.com/piminer-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner

The tutorial contains information which should be helpful to anyone interested in mining with Raspberry Pi (even w/o an LCD, etc); including links to getting started with Pi, network setup, logging in via ssh, etc

Note: The tutorial example uses Block Erupter USBs, but minor software changes should allow use with any USB miner compatible with cgminer v3.1.1

New in v1.1:
    • Added mining auto-start after boot (see tutorial for setup)
    • Time format changed to dd:hh:mm
    • Abbreviated large share count (ex. 12300 == "12k3")
    • Revised error % calculation: 100 * HW / (diff1shares + HW)
    • Added MtGox last, high, & low price (currency can be changed in PiMinerInfo.py)
    • Removed cgminer data logging (was appending nohup.out)
    • Misc. tutorial revisions/clarifications




Feel free to make suggestions as to what you'd like to see added, or additional details to include in the tutorial.

Also, If you build this project - please share pics of your setup!
