Just a general question is everyone running there Pi's in Stock mode? I tried today doing the Modest over clock and I am running 6 Gridseed Blades and my average Load is 0.24 which seems a little lower then on stock clock which was closer to 0.29 not a huge difference but its just as stable so I was wondering if there is really anything to gain from OCing the Pi possible the ability to handle more miners for those having trouble over 20 globes has anyone tried this out? I notice my Pi running Stock clock 16 Globes runs about 0.25 as my 15 min average
From my understanding, it's not the speed that's stopping the Pi from controlling more, but the on-board memory. OCing the Pi really doesn't get you anything extra, except more heat maybe.
You can try to reconfigure the memory usage by adding / changing "gpu_mem=16" in the "/boot/config.txt" file to only use 16M for the gpu.
Thanks for the feedback I am new to using the Pi but have always overclocked or enhanced everything I have
So far the OC on my minera platform seems to be running just fine stable which is why i chose this route to replace MY PC that was controlling ut plus the energy savings not running a full MB and PC is great. I plan to do a lot more experimenting with them so I just wanted some feedback.I have seen that you can change the allocation of memory so possibly this can help in adding support for more devices per pi. I have some more gridseeds coming so soon ill test how many i can cram onto 1 pi controller before stability is an issue
