I can run 9 sticks stable but as soon as I try to run 10 then one fails to start and the others start dropping into zombie. I'm using a pi 3 and gekko hubs. Cpu usage is high cgminer is using 85% with 9 sticks. Any ideas?
Are you running multiple hubs?
If I use them on single hub, I can usually run up to full hub, which is 15 on mine and won't be surprised it would run all 30 for few mins until voltage will get too low and they will start rebooting (30 port industrial hub with some spacing in between, every other port)
In order to stably run more then 9 I would need to dial in the pod on each, voltage gets too low on my hub...
My PI4 CPU actually stays around 20%, But if I plug in the second hub and/or start splitting sticks in between, THEN it goes nuts, like 80-100% and sticks start to zombie out, the ones that been hashing for a while, new ones don't appear,
Interesting enough - all sticks are flashing the white diodes (like they are hashing), even the ones that system does not see...
The problem is multiple hubs.....
I'm running 3 hubs. I can run 8 on 2 hubs or 9 on 3 hubs but as soon as I add one more stick the problems start.
