Ok, so I downloaded and made my Devcon folder with the text batch file provided online. It does indeed disable and re-enable my cards. Now this batch file will do this automatically every time the hash rate drops correct?
Another issue before even calling that a success though... once I run the devcon file it resets everything, but then in cast-xmr the vega's don't get renabled. They just show they are getting 0/hs. Do I need another batch file or something to have cast-xmr restart or re-detect the cards?
timeout /t 3
devcon.exe disable "*687F"
timeout /t 3
devcon.exe enable "*687F"
timeout /t 3
this will disable and re enable all vegas only
Yes, that's the code and it works. However, this does nothing for the miner itself correct? So, I still have to be physically present to run this batch and restart castxmr when the hashrate drops. It needs to restart the miner as well for it to work.
Excuse me for being a newbie, I am pretty tech and hardware literate, but when it comes to creating batch files and software coding I've had practically no exposure beyond some basic HTML for websites.
I found this:
https://pastebin.com/Q0rGa0QS I think that's a complete batch file that I'm looking for, but I'm still trying to figure out how to properly edit it to function completely automatically with castxmr. It's set up to run with xmrstak.
I got it to work and it starts castxmr, but it doesn't load my payment address when it starts and it also doesn't restart on it's own when the hash falls.
I'm pretty sure that there is no way for anything to monitor the hashrate and force run of this reset script. You might be able to setup alerting when the api shows rates get under a certain level, but I don't see how you could automated it without initiating the request manually. as for the script not loading your payment address it's got to do with the config file it's calling and not finding it.
