Re: Need your help, new Linux mining distro for the Raspberry PI - MinePeon
Word of warning all!!!
I have been playing with the temperature sensor on the Pi (I intend to graph the temperature of the device)
After a few hours of running CPU mining in a case the temperature slowly raised until it let the blue smoke out.
My other PI that is not in a case has been CPU mining for months now and keeps a steady temperature around 40'c so I blame the poor ventilation of the cheap plastic case.

Word of advice to all ... CPU mining has been completely removed from the cgminer 3.0.0 code - you can no longer even compile it in.I have been playing with the temperature sensor on the Pi (I intend to graph the temperature of the device)

CPU mining is pointless ... ... ... and I hear destructive also
Edit: I'm curious to know how to get lm-sensors working.
I installed lm-sensors and i2c-tools
( yes I did https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=573101&action=diff )
i2c seems to not find any devices so I guess there's some extra device info required for whatever is in the rpi
