I'm testing out the new beta version of the firmware, and after a day of futzing around with it and letting a couple units run overnight, I noticed something.
Awesome Miner reports a few thousand errors on the primary page (Because it logs the errors) for the units that were auto-tuned and stabilized, but the IP access page shows zero HW errors. While I watched, it had a few, and once it reached about a dozen - boom, it wiped them and they showed 0 again.
Is this a new feature, or something accidental? Knowing how many HW errors I'm getting is somewhat key to knowing if I've found the sweet spot or not for freq/voltage...
Also, there's an abnormal amount of errored out chips (X) that don't go away when the unit finishes auto-tuning, not without a reboot - and then it takes another 10~20 minutes to finish auto-tuning, which results in more X chips, to the point that I basically just let the auto-tune do its work, then go back in and manually set the chips to the frequencies that worked, and watch if it has errors or not at that point.
In essence, the auto tunes present functionality just saves me the elbow work of manually changing each chip within the frequency range (a process that honestly can take hours per unit).
But it would be nice if I could set a range of what I'm aiming for (x range of GH/s, within X range of temp) and it auto tunes both the freq and the voltage to accomplish it, on the fly.
Or even "benchmark for best settings" options and it auto tunes in depth, finds the best results at the lowest energy consumption and saves those so that even on a reboot it doesn't have to re-auto tune back to that.
