Hello,

  How do we update so that the A1 can work with this hub?  I didn't see an update since the message above Smiley


Thanks!

Download the image on the 4th post of this thread. Burn that to an SD card and put the SD card back into the smarthub. You will see an SD card at the front (left hand side).

...will there be a new SD card image with which the new Gekko A1 USB stick miner works? Of course it would be great if the temperature could be displayed

Yes! I have got the A1 working on the Smarthub, exactly the same as the CompacF works. However, I have not touched the telemetry stuff yet. This will require a lot of backeend design changes which I will look at in due course.
I will get the SmartHub software update out in in due course.

I'd like to integrate SmartHub into Home Assistant so a quick(er) (jump)start would be great - where is SmartHub reading data from being shown on display ... Is there any log file I could parse into HA? Thanks.

The SmartHub is pulling the data from gekkostats.php which is hosted at http://SMARTHUB_IP_ADDRESS:8080/GekkoStats.php

I'm going to take a gander and say we've got to update the SmartHub - any info available on where to download the new img?


I was wondering the same thing. Seems like a fairly substantial update for the UI that IAmGPIO has to sort out with all the newly controllable aspect of this stick. Hopefully he won't keep us waiting too long  Wink

Working on it right now. I only got my hands on an A1 last night...!

Keep the initial setup simple as it is now. But.....

Add some more settings to the System Config page?

I am sure everyone that mines wants to set their miners to certain IP addresses. DHCP is not working the way I want. I set an assigned IP in my router but the hub is still using the original one it was assigned. I did a system reboot, put the wrong wifi password in on purpose, it still set it to the old IP. It seems to be "stuck".


Add a Workers page with a list and stats of each miner. Easier to see if one is not working properly.
01. R909          100050786     2.142Th     550     etc      Red is in error, yellow if warning
02. R909          100xxxxxx      2.201Th     550     etc
03. Compaq F   200346543      350Gh       450
....
10. R909

Total hash rate in large font.

Plenty of room for more stats/details.


if you want to define a static IP on the SmartHub, edit the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and define your static IP. Dont assign it in the router, assign it on the Hub itself.

All of the stat' bits you mention will all come in due course, embedded in the SmartHub Gui. This is one of the reasons I linked Kano's stats page directly from the SmartHub UI, to give people the extra stats you describe in the meantime.

New firmware available. Check the 4th post down on this thread.





I’m going to assume you need to put the details in again for miners, freq, pool details (if different from default)?

Yes, it's a whole new image and resets everything to factory.

Now I hooked my R909 up to my PC. Replaced the drivers. Edited the start-r909.bat file with my BTC address. Double clicked it, cmd window opens, cgminer started, no output.

I have an ASUS RT-AX86U Pro router. Could it be blocking everything?

Grabbing at straws here.



Hey, DM me on Discord - I will help you sort this.

i will then report back here with findings to help future issues.

I just set mine up for the first time. When I go to the wired (not wifi) web address I get the same error message.

I do not have a miner hooked up to it yet. I am waiting for my new PSU to come in the mail to power my R909. Could that be the issue?

The display also says "Invalid pool. Can't connect to pool." It is the default solo pool. Not using WiFi.

Hi, this is indicitive of CGMiner crashing, could be pool connection, internet connection or mining hardware related. For optimum diagnostics, you need to SSH in to the unit and see what CGminer is doing and if it is running, etc. This is all documented early on in this post.
I have helped several people lately that have put in Ethereum wallet addresses in the config page which causes CGMiner to fail immediatley which in turn crashes as such.

Can you go to the IP address of the device (you may need to look this up by doing an IP scan on your network if the OLED screen isnt working), go to the IP of the SmartHub in your web browser (note, the machine you are accessing the Smarthub from must be on the same network). I then want screenshots of everything you see on the screen.

If you are tech savvy, go back earlier in the post and look at SSH'ing into the unit and seeing what is causing CGMiner to crash.

Who did you get the SmartHub from?

Cheers

How many R909's will the Smarthub handle?


I have had it running 7, but only because I didn't have my hands on any more. @Sidehack may have more input on this

Hi All - Just curious....  Is there any way to have each individual miner have it's own settings (pool, frequency, etc.)?


thanks!

Hi, not yet.

It's on the to do list. It's a fairly complex task to do this but def' doable.

I have two of these and connected one to a hub (bitcoin merch hub), it would mine full strength for hours or days and then eventually stop hashing altogether. So I just run my hub from my computer now. Sad.

I would like to know if someone can tell me if there is a way to turn off the raspberry pi display screen at night. These are in my bedroom and my wife doesn't like the light  Undecided

There isn't a.way to turn the screen off without logging in to the unit via ssh (username "pi", password "raspberry" and closing the process that runs the screen.

You can access this by typing "sudo screen -list" and attaching to the correct process running the screen program.

If this is a little too much for you, ask Idan at Bitcoin Merch to get a screen toggle / brightness slider implemented into the software and it'll get done.

Just thought I would update this.

Its been 9Days 6Hours 48mins since it restarted and is currently on 67.7% ram usage.

Still on the same instance of cgminer and its definitely cgminer ram usage thats increasing.

I'll keep monitoring and report back in a few days.

Cheers, please do.

Is there anything one app/process that is taking up a a large chunk of this RAM?

Hello Everyone - I just got this unit and it has been running fine all night.  This morning I came in and the hashing stopped.  Went to the web browser and am getting this below.  Suggestions??

Note:  I am a total NOOB when it comes to all of this.  Please be kind!

The debugger caught an exception in your WSGI application. You can now look at the traceback which led to the error.
To switch between the interactive traceback and the plaintext one, you can click on the "Traceback" headline. From the text traceback you can also create a paste of it. For code execution mouse-over the frame you want to debug and click on the console icon on the right side.

You can execute arbitrary Python code in the stack frames and there are some extra helpers available for introspection:

dump() shows all variables in the frame
dump(obj) dumps all that's known about the object

Thanks for the reply GPIO. I've been monitoring it today and noticed that it is the cgminer "file" casuing the slow increase in ram usage. Yesterday on intitial restart they were at 2.1%. Today they are at 3.9%.

Still can't fathom why though. It hasn't restarted, still the same instance (767 after the restart) on screen as it was before, all sticks running as requested.

More than happy to flash the SD Card with your current .img file to give it a try. Just means I'll have to go and change the Price Ticker currency again  Cheesy

I am happy to wait until the updates aswell. Its simply issue that a restart solves once a week really.

The current image I have is no different to the one you have, except the one I have may have Doom embedded in the web interface.... somewhere... Smiley.

Aside from that, there are no implemement changes as yet that I am ina place to release. i have made changes but its all very piece-meal at the moment.  I will keep probing and see if I can figure out what is causing the memory usage to creep up.

Ok so running HTOP has revealed a couple of things that are strange to me (not being linux proficient and all that).

I have:-

15x "gekkoscreentrimmed4.py" running using 13.7% mem each

34 x cgminer config files running using 17.5% mem each

All those are highlighted green which I assume means they are running. (I know the math doesn't add up if you add all the percentages together).

EDIT:
After a restart I now have (39.7% RAM usage on screen):-

17x "gekkoscreentrimmed4.py" running using 13.8% each
35x cgminer config files running using 2.1% each

I may well be looking at the wrong thing though.

The BTC price updater scripts/files are minimal usage compared to the lot listed above.

My first thought with this is various processor threads which is why the "17 x 13.8%" doesn't add up. If you run "top" insteads of "htop" you should get the single resource use per application running. The Python3 instances will be the BTC Price updater and also the screen program that runs the OLED screen.

I have looked at a SmartHub I have running on the desk behind me with 4 x R909's connected and I am max'd out at 67% RAM usage with zero restarts on any screen instances.

I am happy to send you the .img file for you to reflash the SD card if you want to try that.

Cheers
