SolarMiner v1.5 by Jose Peral 2019-03-18

This is a C program for raspberry Pi to mine cyptocurrencies using solar excedent power.

SolarMiner v1.5 will connect by a USB wifi dongle to the Solax-Boost-X1 inverter to monitor the imported power, and will control 2 Sonoff smart relays to enable them gradually when there is excess solar power avaible. When ever the imported power grows avobe the configured threshold of 140W, the loads/miners will be disengaged gradually.

Miners hashrate is monitored thought the Bitmain Antminer API.

Hardware requeriments:

• Raspberry Pi
• USB Wifi dongle
• x1 Solar PV array with Solax-Boost-X1 inverter with Wifi dongle
• x2 Sonoff smart switches
• x1 Antminer S9 with Antminer-S9-all-201812051512-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz firmware
  • Set Low Power Mode ON
  • Low Power Enhaced Mode ON
• x1 Antminer L3

Network requeriments:

• connect wlan0 to the solax wifi AP.

  • edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file and let only one Wifi config
  • #ping -I wlan0 5.8.8.8

• connect lan0 to the internet using your home router, or wifi repeater.

  • #ping -I eth0 192.168.0.1

Configuration:

• Please edit config.h file with
  • Your IFTTT applet name and APIKEYS https://ifttt.com/services/maker_webhooks/settings
  • Your Antminer's S9 fixed IP´s
  • Your Antminer's power usage
