Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

Yea thats definitely an issue of not enough power on the port. Like others have said run it on the lowest frequency and see if it runs stable.

is there anything else it could be because im starting to think its not the moonlander but my PC and not the USB either because i have a CPU miner that i use for Magi and it is stopping on its own as well it looks like.

change this setting (--set MLD:clock=600)
to
(--set MLD:clock=384)
and see what happens.
by the by,

anyone got an idea what the AS:-4 is all about? never noticed it be - before

Tried this and still have the same issue.

Dang fam, that's all I can think of. My next move would be find a powered hub on Amazon or something, there are several listed throughout this thread, and see if that does it. Remember you need something like 2.1~2.5 amps per port.

and this isnt standard for a desktop PC's USB 3.0 ports? sorry but im rather new to all of this and am still learning

Totally cool, we all started somewhere.
I don't think it's a standard. I think that's more relative to the specific hardware. On my laptop one usb port will run a moonlander but the other one won't lol. If you do look for a hub make sure it does data transfer as well as provide the power. I accidentally bought a charging hub that didn't do data transfer. I'm pretty sure eyeboot has a cheap 2 port hub that will provide enough power to run one Moonlander.
