Just if anyone has wondered: Minera works with up to 32 5-Chip Gridseeds on a raspberry pie.

I think that is the rasberry limit. I know that other distributions for rpi have a limit of sometimes 18 GS Devices. The only distribution I have come across so far that could run up to 32 devices is the zoomhash image without webinterface.

Great great work!!

Michellem: it would be great if there was a client/host version of minera that made it possible to run minera on a dedicated server to control a couple of Raspberries in a LAN network. What do you think? Do you like the idea?

Cheers, Stefna

Good to know. I´m getting 100 Grids this week and just ordered some more Raspberries.

Is this a limitation of the Raspberry or general under Unix? Does a Unix PC handle more Devices?

Does someone know the max amount of grids under windows?

It's a software limitation, can easily be bypassed by increasing http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.h#L22
Someone will need to compile Raspbian though.

Is there also some sort of similar way to prevent a rpi from only being able to connect two levels down USB hub wise? Because then I'm going to see whether I can compile some updated version
