I could really use some direction on being able to point the S1's I have at a pool without changing the config in each miner 1 by 1, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks
If you mean changing a pool, then I was in the same situation and spent $25 to get CGRemote. Turned on API access on local network and all miners (I have several) show up in CGRemote. I can now change pool on as many ant miners in a few clicks. It works amazing.
Question for rest: I just added a 4 pin variable fan in the back of my miner but in GUI it still says second fan speed to be zero. Is that by design or did I get a bad fan or 6?Yes, I need to be able to change multiple S1 pools without having to change each miner individually. Thanks for the link I will check it out.
Although I haven't tried it yet, I've read that you can do this with MultiMiner and it's open source.
http://www.multiminerapp.com/Only works with bfgminer. Ants use cgminer which its incompatible with.
You may want to read the MultiMiner website and the MuM developer's thread here on bitcointalk -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.msg5135002#msg5135002. Both indicate that you can do this with MuM either by pointing the S1 cgminer to the Multiminer stratum proxy and then controlling it with MuM's bfgminer, or by enabling the MuM RPC API to auto-detect the S1 so that MuM can control the S1 cgminer for pool switching. However, per the thread I believe you do need to upgrade the S1 to the latest firmware for this to work.
As I said, I haven't tried it yet but I think I will this weekend since I'm also tired of manually switching pools on my 6 S1s.
