I have 1x Moonlander working fine on my Windows PC. I have a couple more arriving soon and would like to set up on a Pi and hub.

Who has an "idiots guide" i can follow from the beginning - Linux is new to me

Thanks

Check Astrali's post on the first page.

Ha I'm too much of an idiot cause I can't figure out how to get them to run on a pi.


I used this guide and it worked for me (I'm not new to Linux though).https://steemit.com/raspberry/@qctechno/howto-install-futurebit-moonlander-2-usb-scrypt-miner-with-raspberrypi-3

Do you have the stick plugged directly into the Pi? If so the Pi wont be able to provide enough power for it. Maybe it will work at lowest frequency with voltage turned down alot.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure if the new driver I've been trying to download is the new one. I've been doing it through my RPi's terminal, and both the new driver and old are named the exact same thing... so maybe it has just been downloading the same thing over and over again? Any ideas on how to specify the new driver?

You should see build number 38-g106390a9 if you are running latest version at the top. Just download the latest release binary on my releases page and copy it over to your pi...

So if I see 5.4.2-34-gea3ba70 that's the old version? I was running the old version originally on my RPi but I thought when I wget the new one it would overwrite the old one? How do I delete the old version and run the new one?

Just create a new directory  (mkdir bfgnew; cd bfgnew) and when wget the file into there.  Use bfgminer --version to check that you're running the correct one.

Hi,

I'm using a RPi 3 and followed the instructions here - https://steemit.com/raspberry/@qctechno/howto-install-futurebit-moonlander-2-usb-scrypt-miner-with-raspberrypi-3 and then updated to https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer/releases/download/bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-beta2/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6.tar.gz.

Using ./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u xXXXXx -p x  -S /dev/ttyUSB0

(bfgminer 5.4.2-38-g106390a
  Lowlevel: usb vcom
  Drivers: futurebit
  Algorithms: scrypt
  Options: ncurses5)

I get line and line of

MLD 0: ASIC has stopped hashing, attempting to restart
MLD 0: ASIC has stopped hashing, attempting to restart
MLD 0: ASIC has stopped hashing, attempting to restart


and 0 hashrate.

And when I run the previous (non-beta)  version, I get this continuously -

Hi,
I'm using a RPi with ML2 and bfgminer 5.4.2-7.   I can see /dev/ttyUSB0 but when I start bfgminer it says "NO DEVICES FOUND".  I have pressed M+ to add to no avail.  Any pointers on where to look?
Thanks in advance. Steve
