asic-rs

asic-rs is a miner management and control library, designed to abstract away the complexity of working with different types of ASIC miners.

Getting Started

The first step to controlling a miner with asic-rs is to get the struct that represents it, with methods used for data gathering and control.

Getting a miner

If you know the IP address of your miner, it is fairly easy to discover it. Use the MinerFactory to select the correct type.

use asic_rs::MinerFactory;
use std::str::FromStr;
use std::net::IpAddr;
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let factory = MinerFactory::new();
    let ip = IpAddr::from_str("192.168.1.10").unwrap();
    let miner = factory.get_miner(ip).await.unwrap();
    // now we can do data gathering or control
}

Miner discovery

If you don’t know the specific IP of your miner, asic-rs can discover it on your network.

use asic_rs::MinerFactory;
use std::str::FromStr;
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let subnet = "192.168.1.0/24";
    let factory = MinerFactory::from_subnet(subnet).unwrap();
    let miners = factory.scan().await.unwrap();
}

There are other ways to define a discovery range to be scanned, such as:

• Octets

    let factory = MinerFactory::from_octets("192", "168", "1", "1-255").unwrap();

• Range string

    let factory = MinerFactory::from_range("192.168.1.1-255").unwrap();

These also have corresponding methods for appending to an existing factory, or overwriting existing ranges. See MinerFactory for more details.

Data gathering

Getting data is very simple with asic-rs, everything you need can be gathered with a single call. Extending the “Getting a miner” example:

use asic_rs::MinerFactory;
use std::str::FromStr;
use std::net::IpAddr;
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let factory = MinerFactory::new();
    let ip = IpAddr::from_str("192.168.1.10").unwrap();
    let miner_opt = factory.get_miner(ip).await.unwrap();
    // First unwrap represents an error getting the miner
    // Now make sure there is actually a valid, supported miner
    if let Some(miner) = miner_opt {
        let data = miner.get_data().await;
    }
}

If you only want specific data, that can be done with individual function calls:

        let mac = miner.get_mac().await;

Most data points from MinerData have a corresponding get_... function. See the GetMinerData trait for more info.

Miner control

Controlling a miner is very similar to getting data in asic-rs. Each miner has some control functions defined by the HasMinerControl trait. Again extending the “Getting a miner” example:

use asic_rs::MinerFactory;
use std::str::FromStr;
use std::net::IpAddr;
use tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let factory = MinerFactory::new();
    let ip = IpAddr::from_str("192.168.1.10").unwrap();
    let miner_opt = factory.get_miner(ip).await.unwrap();
    // First unwrap represents an error getting the miner
    // Now make sure there is actually a valid, supported miner
    if let Some(miner) = miner_opt {
        let result = miner.restart().await;
        if let Ok(true) = result {
            println!("Miner restart succeeded")
        }
    }
}
