The program starts fine, but I get stuck waiting for the device:

Code:
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [43] !!!
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [44] !!!

you should have added your user to the dailout group

Thank you, that seems to be the correct solution!

I've got the Apollo 2 Standard unit hooked up to an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS machine. I have the GitHub repo cloned, and I run:

Code:
./apollo-miner-v2 -host us-east.stratum.braiins.com -port 3333 -user myusername -pswd anything123 -comport /dev/ttyACM0 -powermode eco -ao_mode 1

from within
Code:
Apollo-Miner-Binaries/Apollo II/linux-x86_64
.

The program starts fine, but I get stuck waiting for the device:

Code:
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [43] !!!
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [44] !!!

I verified that it's the right device:

Code:
$ ls -al /dev/tty*

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166,  0 Jun 11 01:53 /dev/ttyACM0

I have the unit plugged in, turned on, and connected via USB. I can hear the fans spinning, and the status LED is white on the front.

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for releasing the Apollo 2 binaries, jstefanop! Quick question: are there plans to release a linux-aarch32 version for Apollo 2 like you have for Apollo 1? I was planning to drive it with a 32-bit architecture machine that I have accessible but can adapt if needed, but I wanted to check to see if that's coming. Thank you again!

Support for Apollo II USB Standard units on your own linux/windows systems has been released below:

https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries

Release section has not been updated yet so click on "Code" then download Zip and run the appropriate binary for your system.

Will also upload updated Apollo 1/BTC binaries next week.

Sorry this took so long windows port took longer than expected...had to compile under GCC for windows (not msvc) so has only been tested under windows 10 as working. Let me know if anyone has any .dll errors.

Awesome, thank you!

Regarding the updated Apollo 1/BTC binaries: is there any kind of changelog or list of changes? I am interested to know the benefits of upgrading from the existing binaries to the new ones.

Thank you again!

Any update on releasing the miner binaries to run Apollo 2 Standard Units from an external PC? Sorry to be pushy, I am just eager to get my unit up and running Smiley

Will release the windows/linux Apollo 2 mining binaries tomorrow.

Where should we check for Apollo 2 mining binaries? I don't see anything new here: https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries


Getting to those next week, fixing some last UI bugs for now and still working overtime to get as many units as we can out to you guys next week

Thank you for the quick update!

I've got my standard unit Apollo 2, just waiting for the binaries so I can run it via external PC.
