Hello,

hope someone can help me out Baikal doesn't response "nice Support".

The Baikal Giant X10 I got doesn't work.
I've only red lights on the board active. Ethernet connection is working and I can connect to the miner.
But it doesn't mine at all. And I can't change the fan speed ...seems it's not recognizing it.

I thought the SD-Card has malfunctions but after formating and new flashing it's still not working.
Fan speed can't be adjusted and the blue lights are not active only red one.

Do you know what to do? So long delays and now a not working Miner ....it's very frustrating. Baikal doesn't even care!!

Hope someone can help and guide for a solution.

Appriciate about any response.

Have you tried different pools and set the right algo

Yes I did it ...but no changes. It's really curious I mean it must be possible to change the fan speed. It has nothing to do with the pool or anything else.
Hmm maybe it's the raspberry pi zero? Or what kind of raspberry does they used?

But Thanks for your help ..maybe anone else with an idea?

Thanks everyone

The pi might be bad.  I think it's an orange pi zero.  Maybe you want to just unplug it form the other board and plug it back in to make sure it's seated correctly?

My first suggestion would have been that maybe your sd card image was bad because the fan setting is built in to the custom compiled sgminer binary.  Since that didn't fix it, my next guess is that there is a problem with communication between the pi and the fan.  I didn't really look, but I'm assuming the fan has it's own controller that just receives commands from the pi over one of the i/o ports.  I could be way off...
