Onto a new issue. I want to beable to control remotely what pool is selected. Since I have 9 rigs I want to do this programatically. I am very knowledable of VB and linux, but am new to JSON/RPC. I would like to be able to send such a command via the network interface using RPC via VBA.net. From looking at the cgminer source RPC/JSON commands are accepted through the use of port 4028. What would be the simpliest way to send an RPC packet from VBA.net to switch to pool 2 and viceversa switch to pool 0.
Any help would be appreciated. I have exhausted the third party addons for JSON serialization and RPC protocal and have not come accross a viable solution.
Thanks,
Mark
Mark,
There are php tools out there.. kanos miner.php i think does it. and i use my own that shows aggregated fans speeds and other stuff>
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58834.0I haven't updated it in a long time, my current version is only different as it shows highest share and blocks found fields.
It is not actually RPC, it is just a JSON formatted packet into a raw socket and a JSON packet read out.
I have an example of how to use the interface to change pools though, I use it in MinePeon (
http://mineforeman.com/minepeon/ )
so users can change their mining pool from the WebUI.
You can either download MinePeon and grab the code for yourself or if you can wait I will post the code here in about 8 hours.
