So I have noticed, when my cards go "south" I have no way to remotely reset them... I have to turn them off, wait for the chips to cool enough to self test ( usually 20 minutes) then turn them back on. And often times, I have to do this with my Pi's off, so that they don't issue work to the "off" miner while its self testing.
Has anyone come up with a way to do this remotely? I have the opportunity to move my mining to my work, but before I do that, I need to understand if there are any terminal or other ways to force the miners to cool down, and truly "reboot" themselves remotely.
Thanks all!
You don't have to leave them off for them to cool down; if they're powered on while hot they'll just wait until they cool down. It goes a lot quicker if the fan is on.
I've found that sometimes they will get "stuck" at 36c and never quite get below that to do the self test if that 100 watts and that if I power them off, wait 20 and turn them on it works every time.
Now if no power is going to the card but the fan is running then I get MAD MAD cool quick.. (like 2 minutes).
but more to the point, is there a way from terminal/script/commandline that I can issue a "reset" or "reboot" command?
Thanks
