@silverthornne thank you very much! I like so much feedbacks like yours, each of your requests is possible and I'm just working on them. but there is one I can't understand when you speak about the autorestart method. Let me explain what it does and then tell me if you need more.
Autorestart if enabled looks at the share time of your devices. If X devices arent' hashing (sending shares) for Y seconds Minera try to restart completely the miner (not reboot, restart the miner process). So, if you want to restart it as soon as 3 or more devices goes down, just put 3 as device number and 75 as seconds to wait before declaring them dead. If this is not your case, please explain me what you like to have and I'll do my best.

@la7eralus that's definitely a API/RPC problem, it seems the API doens't send the same data the original cgminer sends. I need to know that to fix it (if it's fixable). Please do this:

* start cgminer for rockminer
* don't bother the dashboard
* look at the terminal (use the web one or ssh into it)
* run this: echo '{"command":"summary+devs+pools"}' | nc 127.0.0.1 4028
* give me the output please

Thanks

So I'm a noob and apparently had my hubs mixed up.  The modified cgminer binary does indeed not work, however the included BFGMiner binary does detect all the blades and display their information accordingly.  However, bfgminer is incapable of gettings each blade of the RKBOX up to its full potential, capping out in the 200 GH/s range out of 480+.

Custom string used for BFGMiner:

-S rockminer:all --set rockminer:clock=320

Im assuming BFGMiner is not paying attention to the frequency setting of 320 I am setting and that this is the culprit.  However, bfgminer does pull full API access and MinerA displays everything perfectly, it just isn't capable of currently getting up to speed.  Maybe a special BFGMiner binary specifically for the RKBOX?  Or possible the CGMiner binary that comes with the default RockWeb Raspberry Pi controller would serve as a solid base, as I have already tried directly swapping the binaries with this one and it seemed to not function properly.
