Trying to troubleshoot an issue I've been having with mine.  Once every few hours, my S1 will start a fairly quiet beeping session that lasts for 30-60 seconds.  Hashing speed is degraded at this time.  There is sometimes a louder beep announcing the end of the cycle.  

It does not appear to be related to internet connectivity, as I monitor my pings fairly closely, and it seems stable during these outages.  The miner is overclocked, but the issue happens even at stock speeds.  The temps on the board seem fairly stable at around 45-46, though it drops into the 30s during these cycles.  Overall HW errors fluctuate from .5-1%.  Any ideas of what could be going on?

I used to have this same issue.
Happened to all my Ants and no, it was not a problem in my network.
Got it fixed with a firmware update, you should give it a try.

It's been in my possession about two weeks, and I updated the firmware first-thing from here.
I'll update again - just to be sure.

It's not a firmware problem.

What version have you got?
v1.4 or v1.5?
can you ping properly?
Do you get ntp errors in your system log?

How can I determine what version I have?
Pings work fine currently (currently not beeping).
No NTP errors in the log.

OK, go to your wan settings through - Network  - Interfaces.
Then EDIT wan connection.
Change DNS to: 8.8.8.8 and add another one as: 8.8.4.4

I think you should be set Smiley

EDIT: The version is shown on your Ants Boards.

Pool settings are correct.  It's been hashing to them fine - except once an hour or so.
I applied the fix remotely.  I'll let you know if it worked.

Ah yeah I keep forgetting to mention.
When Bitmain copied the luci cgminer code from Avalon and disabled the extra cgminer options in the luci web interface, it meant you had to edit the /etc/config/cgminer and /etc/init.d/cgminer files to add in extra cgminer options.
Well, you can get around that by adding the options on the end of a pool password in the luci web interface.

So e.g. if your "Pool1 password" password is "x"
you can instead set it to "x --api-description MyAnt"
and that will add the extra parameters "--api-description MyAnt" to the cgminer command line

Watch out for what options you add, since adding a space (as an example: --api-description My Ant) will mess up the command line

Also note that the pool password is set before certain API options, so it won't override the options in /etc/init.d/cgminer after the pool1 password:
--api-allow W:127.0.0.1 --api-listen

Note this works on all ants with all versions of cgminer

OK, all my Ants had NTP errors.
After disabling them, both from interface and SSH and after giving the right details in connection interface they all worked like a charm Smiley

Also, disabling NTP through SSH for v1.4 to v1.5 is different.
That's why I was asking.

Hi
I need help with this PSU: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0JX399-Dell-PowerEdge-2950-750W-Hot-Plug-Redundant-AC-Power-Supply-Unit-Z750P-00-/281038936437?pt=UK_Computing_PowerSupplies_EH&hash=item416f39d975

Can anyone help me with choice of this or any other one which will fit s1.
I had corsair cx500 but price is to high.

If you have beeping that means you have connection problems.

Check that your connection is stable.

EDIT: Lan or WiFi?

^error rate in a percentage is :   HW/(HW + DiffA + DiffR)

its not uncommon for the HW column to be >30% of the accepted column, doesnt mean its a massive error rate necessarily
HW / (HW + Diff1)

Can someone help me work out my HW error %? i keep running the forumal and keep getting an odd number.

Miner Status

Elapsed   GH/S(5s)   GH/S(avg)   FoundBlocks   Getworks   Accepted   Rejected   HW   Utility    Discarded   Stale   LocalWork     WU         DiffA      DiffR   DiffS   BestShare
30m 1s       205.56       204.42          0                      72            811              14         393     27               145         0       117,425    2,855     88,480   1,664       0       35,192


it is running overclocked as noticeable by the hash rate. and it generates HW errors pretty fast and iam not sure if its working correctly or just to ignore the rate of HW errors.

If you are running at 400mhz put it down to 393 and see how it goes.



what should i set as thier values? i tried a few settings but end up with high rate of HW errors. it also runs off 775w solo.
        option 'freq_value'    
        option 'chip_freq'     '393'
        option 'timeout'

I can't help you there, I have not overclocked my Ants yet but from what I have read from other members on the board you need to find the right frequency.
Most say 393 is ideal.

Some other member with more experience on overclocking might help you better.



cheers anyway bud, looks pretty bad when the HW error count is almost half my accepted rate.... if i use 375 its stable and throws maybe 1 hw error an hour. how ever thats only really good for 185gh.

*Edit*
Seems Option timeout sweet spot is 36.5, been going all min at 393mhz and no HW error yet..... hash rate seem's to bounce alittle thou.
