I needed to move my 2 AM Tubes from an office to the basement (wife said they were to loud). So I needed some way to make them wireless, Minera seemed like the answer!
but being relatively new to using Minera, I'm having some trouble getting Minera to connect to the tubes. I have the newest Minera build on a rpi B, I am connected to the rpi with the usb-uart adapter. I have tried both CGminer and BFGminer and neither of them work, is there something I am doing wrong or something I didnt do. I thought that CGminer would work for the tubes but I am not sure. Any help would be great! Thank You
First of all you should look at the dmesg log when you plug-in the USB cable:
- SSH into Minera
- plug-in one Tube
- do "sudo dmesg" and look if something happened (you should see something like "usb 1-1: New USB device found, etc...")
Then if USB are correctly detected you should need to configure the miner:
for Bfgminer it should work, you can try to look at this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769570.0 for Cgminer according to the readme you need to recompile it with the "--enable-blockerupter" option (this is not in the default cgminer on Minera)
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/ASIC-READMEI will try to see if something happens when I plug it in but I can't try until I get back home from work. Also I have no idea how to recompile CGMiner is there somewhere that explains this process?
