Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread

It's been running great for a few days now and then I restarted them again and this time it's just blinking green and i can't get to the web interface. What does blinking green mean? Is there somewhere that tells what the blinking patterns mean?


EDIT: Self Answered.
I found a post that had what the lights mean. Supposedly slow green blink means bfminer is connected but that's not the case. The issue for me was that my router wasn't handing it an ip address because i've had some issues with the DHCP server on it. Once I rebooted the router and then rebooted the Apollo all was fine.

Everything seems to be working ok now. It's almost like it need to "warm up". Odd

Did you change anything on the pool? Sounds like a temporary pool error. Try rebooting it and see if it keeps doing the same thing (and check Litecoinpool.org to rule out pool issues if you running on a different pool). If that doesn't work try an SD card re-flash.


I did reboot several times and also checked different pools and all had the same problem. After running for a few hours it has gotten better but still is only hacking at 90 MH/s with still 5% hardware errors.

I have a batch 1 that was running fine. I had to go out of town for a few weeks so I turned it off. When I turned it back on today it's getting 50% hardware errors only hashing about 30 MH/s on eco mode i've also tried other modes with more or less the same results. The miner temp on auto is 62C and the MCU temp is 62C.  I actually have 2 and my other one is working just find. What can I do to fix this?

I'm getting a second Apollo and I'm wanting to set them up with a static ip. How do I do that? I'm assuming login via ssh but what do I change?

Thanks

you would do this is your router. In the DHCP settings you should be able to reserve an IP address outside of your DHCP server range. To reserve you choose the MAC address of the new miner and assign an address to it. Sounds complicated but should be easy once you logon to your router.



Yeah, I know how to do that but my router is been having problems with handing out DHCP addresses but If I put a static address locally it will automatically connect.

I just recently got an Apollo and want to try solo mining. What is the best way to do this now before the full node software upgrade is ready?

Thanks
