Ok so if anyone is interested I'm now selling one of those plugable 7 Port USB hubs on eBay in the UK see the link

Thanks
$65 from directly from sipolar in China and it just got delivered, I'm on the east coast. Seems like a great deal.
I ordered one over the weekend, for about 1/2 the price here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.0.0.8O4DWG&orderId=88528809006859&productId=32513481750
$45 USD, shipping is a crazy $20 USD, but still way cheap total. Shipping will take a bit, but I think it is worth the wait.

Very very tempted to order this hub, anyone comment if it's any good ??

Cool, mine is still in the post, so how many moonlanders are you going to try?
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Quick question for anyone here with a Raspberry PI 3 setup....
If I was to use a raspberry pi 3 standalone/headless (ie with no usb hub, keyboard or mouse attached) powered with the official pi power supply (2.5A) can anyone confirm if this will work and what speed they are able to achieve? (With stock voltage settings) ?
Thanks!

you cant directly plug your moonlander 2 to your PI.
if you use a powered hub it doesnt matter which power supply you use for your PI - it should just be enough to power the PI
They can achieve the speed they get on every other device .. like 5.5mh/s max i run mine on 4.3 mh/s
Greetings - Astrali
Well.....my 7th moonlander turned up today and as my existing hub is now at capacity I thought I would dust off a spare Pi3 & official Pi3 PSU (2.5A). It did manage to plug straight into one of the pi3 USB ports, detected fine. I tried running 600 speed and that works fine but trying the higher speed of 756 fails.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I currently have 1x pi running at 796 from USB 3 port - 1.93A at 4.55V - 4.52MH/s.
Should I be aiming for 5V on my USB meter?

Really!? Interesting - that a Pi3 ? Any special settings?
No - I was thinking current draw (amps) maybe using something like this:

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Has / can anyone here share some accurate readings of current draw (with stock voltage settings) of these moonlanders.
I have a pluggable 7 port USB 3.0 hub, this one:
https://plugable.com/products/usb3-hub7bc
It has a 60W power supply.
I have 5x moonlanders connected to it running at 756 clock speed and it has a reading (at the main socket for the hub alone) of 53.08W which seems wayyy to high.
I saw in the OP that these should use 1.3W per hash. Now for a 756 clock speed, this gives 4.278mh (which is what i am seeing) but then a watt usage of around 5.56W (current draw calc to be 1.11amps) and if I have five of them this should be around 33watts but i am actually seeing nearly double at 53watts. I know PSUs are not 100% efficiency but thats too much loss - something isn't right.
I guess what would be mega useful is a full rundown of all the clock frequencies and the current for each one like:
Clock
384
450
480
540
576
600
612
625
636
648
660
672
684
700
720
744
756
768
796
832
852
876
900
924
954
anyone fancy trying it?
It would be really useful as this would allow more people to get stable frequencies depending on the device they where connected to (I was hoping to try one connected to a Pi3 usb port but that is limited to 1.2a max total).

Just a quick note for Moonlander folk in UK and Europe - Am currently using this Plugable 7-port hub with x4 sticks, running fine so far: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2zkGMOu
Tried this Orico number: http://[Suspicious link removed]/2jdmoGn failed at more than two.

I have the same setup, you going to try 5x ? Also what speeds you running ?
I'm aiming for 6, 2 more sticks in the post. Running at 720 at the moment, stable, 4MHs per stick. Can obviously go higher, sink temps at mid 60's... Will post what happens with 6!
Ok. I have three more in the post on top of the four I have connected now. I think it's just a matter of speed & amps that each one draws in order to get all seven running. From my post on page two if this thread I think (in theory) we have 1.71a to play with per port...
"If you were to split all 7 ports up equally and assuming 100% efficiency you could in theory draw about 1.71A per port."
What we could do with is accurate amp / speed table for these.
UPDATE (and a WARNING!) : I'm now running 5x moonlanders at clock=756 on the plugable 7 port usb 3 hub and my meter is showing power usage (for the hub alone) at 53.08w, i personally wouldn't like to try running 6x as this will exceed the rating of 60w (12v x 5a) so you're running the risk of overload, over heat / maybe fire etc. I can confirm it's stable though
Time for a new hub...Ha. I've got 6 up and running, but that adaptor is white hot. Didn't check the meter, but suspect you're right.../
edit - Yes, I've got c. 54w running 5 @ 768. Had 63.8w with 6, which is toooo much. Stolen the ebay idea of yours, looks good, and thanks...
Cool - let us know how you get on. I've got 10x of these on the way to (5x left / 5x right) to help with spacing..

If you see the tty devices then try running it with sudo.
Could be just a permissions thing

Holy crap! I was not launching my miner with sudo! That is probably it, cuz I could see the devices with lsusb. Welp the devil is in the details. I'll try that and report back.
Thanks again!
Welp turned out to be a permissions thing, I'm up and running. Thanks!
Nice one!

Yes indeed. As a side note, I used these 90-deg adaptors http://amzn.to/2yXp5Ba so the ports that were blocked are accessible. Should have got the left hand version really (for the hub to be right way up) but the build quality seems pretty good.
I went with these 30cm ones, cable seems thick enough..

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Hello all,
Can someone suggest if the following USB HUB is a good buy to run multiple moonlander 2 USB miners with its optimum performance? appreciate your quick help on this,

Thank you.

Don't think it's got enough power per port...
"5V/650mA sufficient current per port"

My first moonlander 2 just turned up ! all working. This is a picture of my setup:
https://imgur.com/a/U68EH
Consists of:
1) Raspberry PI 3 with official Rapsberry PI 3 power supply
2) Cheap USB 2.0 7 port hub - Pluscom Model u7PH-3A (not using the power supply as the Pi seems to be enough for this) cascaded into:
3) Plugable USB 3.0 7 port Hub (inc 12V 5A 60w psu) - Model: USB3-HUB7BC
3 more are in the post in the way so will be testing more plugged into the same when i can (going to try and do 7x all at the time time via extension cables)
Been running now for about an hour now litecoinpool reporting hashing at 3,498kH/s (so far so good!)
Boom!

UPDATE:. This is still running plus I've now expanded it to use 4x moonlanders at 756 speed. One is using a USB extension cable but seems to be ok. All getting around 4,492 kH/s from litecoinpool
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I've just ordered a couple of these usb 3 right angle ones, will be reporting back when tested....
