Coming up on 24 hours since I sent a email to AM and just like the other countless times I have sent them emails there has been no reply.
For all of you praising AM, this is the third time compensation has been promised. The deal looks great and they have managed to make many of you think they are a great company standing behind their products and taking care of their customers but there is no follow through. Just a bunch of empty promises.

^^ Happen to know where one can find a tutorial on how to set-up a BE Controller to run with a Prisma?
From page one, CrazyGuys post:BE controller information
1) The prisma and Tube BE controller are the same, but tube controllers are setup by default at a frequency of 270. If you receive a tube controller, drop the frequency down to 240 before connecting a prisma.
2) BE controller's default address is 192.168.0.254. The easiest way to access it the first time is by connecting to your PC or laptop via crossover cable or put it on a network with the same subnet.
3) BE controllers require a power source of their own. They can reliably handle anywhere from 5v-12v. I have tested with both a 5v 2a and 12v 1a power adapter. The power adapter will need to have a 2.5mm barrel connector.
4) The BE controller supports ghash.io and slush by default. BTC GUILD and ckpool are also supported, but they use different addresses for tubes and prismas. See dogie's tube guide for more info on supported pools.
do you need help with bfgminer?
Also I asked in this thread earlier if anyone got the prismas running minera to work with mobileminerapp on a cell phone as I had no luck running it. Well once again user error on my part. In the settings in minera where you enter your API key from mobileminer and email address you signed up with thats where I made the mistake. The API key I copy and pasted, so my error was my email address. http://i.imgur.com/GqdpDin.png instead of gmail.com I entered gnail.com and I just kept overlooking the obvious. Now mobile miner works on my cell and I can now check stats, change pools. start, stop and restart the miners from anywhere. Here is a screenshot of it from my cell phone http://i.imgur.com/7GkB19D.jpg If anyone has any problems setting it up just look at the obvious first, as I overlooked it. It's very simple to setup and get going. If anyone needs help with it just ask, I will try to do what I can. Also everyone with the BET0 problems, I just refreshed my setup last night and I had the BET0 and then a BET1 problem. All I did was just hit restart miner under miner in minera, now it did take about 10 trys, but it works, so you dont have to keep changing back and forth from Cgminer (rockminer fork) and Cgminer (asicminer fork) just keep spamming the restart button. It works and seems to be a faster way then doing all those other steps.
Strange but might be true about the restart button spam , sometimes i get up to 300gh/s , sometimes 500gh/s , but now it got up to incredible 1200 gh/s .. I guess i won't touch it for now and leave it so i can enjoy the hairdryer sound for a while.
Thanks for the advice man.
Was nice to see big numbers for a bit , but it did not last very long , i dont know if it was because the debug was on or any other reason , but it made the cgminer crash after like 30 minutes. Now the Minera is stuck , can't restart cgminer and it wont start even after restarting Rpi. It will need new image on the SD i guess.
Back in the old story. Woohoo.
Tried spamming restarting the miner and not luck. Keep getting these errors:

There is obviously something wrong with the miners, does'nt seem like many people are getting these. I guess people have to be lucky , to get properly working one
Why does your pool hash rate only show 95.5+ GH/s? I take it thats not the prismas?
Also I asked in this thread earlier if anyone got the prismas running minera to work with mobileminerapp on a cell phone as I had no luck running it. Well once again user error on my part.

yes rpi's like it cool. I use 2 fans to keep it cool

[/quote]
I see you have the rpi B model with a case, I have the B+ no case, my temps were always around 84.00F max usually always around 80.00F, last night I logged into the pi and overclocked the pi's frequency to 450mhz without upping the voltage, just to see if anything changed with the hash rates or to see if the BET0 or the new BET1 errors I was getting on reboot/restart would go away. Since I overclocked it the only thing ive noticed is the slight temp increase to 88.00F and a slight, probably just by chance, lower rejection rate, not enough lower rejection rate to say it solved anything. But I have never seen my pi B+ get anywhere close to some of those temps you had. Do you think with the case on it maybe trapping some heat inside it? In two of your pictures I noticed one said 102.00F and the other said 104.00F. Was that before the fans? I have my pi sitting next to one prisma, right below them on the next shelf down is a window box fan blowing air up to keep the bottom of the prismas cool. Also two fans per prisma, push/pull, and one fan between the prismas blowing air down the middle of them. So I guess I was getting lucky with the placement of the pi as its getting cool from the box fan below it. I just wish we had a way to get the true temps of these prismas while running. I have a laser thermal gun, but the temps are sporadic depending where I point it at. The exhaust fans are around 120F on both units consistently. I am running them right now with no overclock as im worried because of the pictures posted. Better safe than sorry. Does anyone know if there is a way to find the true temps these prismas are running at? Are they even capable of giving us that information?

at planetcrypto what is the watts for that. >>>> if you get 1600gh and I get 1280gh my way has to be a lot safer since the watts are low.
What follows is a snapshot of our RPi controlled Prisma clocked @ 260.In my feeble mind 2 things jump out at me versus the image you posted of your RPi controlled Prisma.
1) There is a difference of hashing rate ~300 GH/s.
2) There is a difference of operating temperature of ~70C (158F)
Almost 100% sure that the temp indicated by Minera is the temp of the RPi near one of the vertical connectors on the RPi B+.
The RPi that is controlling ours sits in the incoming air stream and is specifically positioned there to give an indication of incoming air temp.
The RPi that's controlling yours is (by it's own internal measurement) operating some place hot enough to boil water.
If the Rpi is that hot, how hot is the Prisma? and the components contained thereon.
While not having a pic of your configuration, Your Prisma may be operating at or near a thermal failure point. Even in a de-clocked operating mode/state.
Just food for thought.
I agree that the temps are in fact from the RPI. Here is why I think so, anyone please correct me if im wrong. Look at this picture where it says BET0 and BET1. I have both prismas on a single usb to uart adapter into the RPI B+. Here is the pic with the info circled in red http://i.imgur.com/agQ5sob.jpg So the info minera is reporting in my pic of 88.00F is without a doubt the RPI B+...I think
Also look here at post #506,https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=795477.msg9489615#msg9489615 I sorta had the same problem, more user error on my part though. CrazyGuy helped me out, read to post 511. Also updating like CrazyGuy just said cant hurt.
I had the same BET 0 errors and switching to cgminer (rockminer fork) under settings, then save and reboot, then switch back to cgminer (ASICminer fork) save and reboot seemed to fix it. Also people said just rebooting to the Asicminer fork several times cleared up the BET 0 errors. I just has this problem last night when I removed them from being daisy chained and plugged each prisma into its own port on the RPI B+ model using the USB to UART adapters. Hope this helps you
Just sent another PM, sorry the first one I was in a rush, when you have a chance to get back to me lets make a deal. However you want to go about selling them is fine with me. I only ever did a private buy once from philpma1957 you can read it in my trust. And the first group buy I was ever in was CrazyGuys. So whatever you need from me or need me to do please let me know. Thank you once again
The Tower of Prisma
Solved a lot cooling issues this way and freed up some rack real estate in the process.
Mounted this way the boards are running about 60F cooler.
On to OC'ing them.
Sorry about the blur, was standing on a chair and I'm an old fart.

You said in this configuration they are running 60F cooler? What were your numbers before and after? My setup looks very similar with the box fan under it. Plus I have two fans on each prisma, the one stock drawing air in and the one philipma1957 suggested to pull air http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A460TK6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Those Silverstone Tek 140mm x 38mm Fans are really quite even in power mode. I have them all hooked up to a fan controller that GrapeApe recommended http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DN3IT7M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have them all running at full power, the stock fans are loud, like a hairdryer as some people say. But if that setup you have going is actually running 60F cooler and the stock fans are cycling you just maybe on to something. With my setup minera is reporting 85-86F running @ 240mhz. Im just curious what your numbers were before and after. Also im not sure where minera is getting the temp numbers from, does anyone know? I saw a post on this thread where someone said it could be the RPI temp, so I don't have a clue. Now I have to go give the leaning tower of prismas a try, will report back. Also im a little worried of them tipping/falling over, so maybe secure them somehow from the top.
Minera up and running on a RPI B+ 32 GB memory card with no problems with the image from Crazyguy. I have to thank you Crazyguy for not only making this a great GB for us but for also going that extra mile and then some for me especially. If anyone was ever on the fence about doing any deals or participating in any GB with Crazyguy you really would be doing yourself a disservice if you hesitated in any way whatsoever. Thank you Crazyguy for the refund that you pulled out of your own pocket for all of is because of delayed shipping. Now has anyone been able to get http://www.mobileminerapp.com up and running yet with this image? That's the only thing I'm hung up on right now. Thanks again Crazyguy
Just sent 1.42 your way Canary. Thank you and also thanks for honoring CrazyGuys deal with me. Here is the blockchain info https://blockchain.info/tx/27e1cd0e97cf28fb6bc9df34f120c6be62ff09569790f42a47f4fceb9cd1b07c
mine should come today. will photo setup .
I have two setup already, I hope my adapters arrive today as I'm using the BE controller with bfgminer as a proxy to hash on a different pool. Are you going to hook it up to the rpi first? I really would like to get two more but I'm not sure how many the pi can handle. I always look forward to your posts as you're very good at documenting everything and showing us pictures of your setup in the process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Any word when the GB will open again?
I really like that minera interface. I have been up and running for a day and a half using the BE controller and bfgminer 4.10 as a proxy to run the pool of my choice without any problems besides user error setting it up after moving it. Thanks CrazyGuy for fixing my user error. I have two fans per unit on a fan controller and also a box fan pushing air up from under them after I looked at those pictures of that burnt board. I would love to try minera and turn off the setup I have going with bfgminer as a proxy, although working well, very well to be honest, id like to use this RPI and give my main pc a break. Have the USB to uart adapters shipped out yet?
