AxeDash connects to your home Wi-Fi and shows every Bitaxe on your network on one screen. Setup takes about five minutes.
What you need
- Your AxeDash and a USB power supply (5 V, any phone charger works)
- Your home Wi-Fi name and password. AxeDash uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, like your Bitaxe.
- A phone or computer to run setup
- Your Bitaxe miners, powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network
First-time setup
- Plug in AxeDash. The screen shows AxeDash Setup and the name of its setup Wi-Fi network.
- Join the setup network. On your phone or computer, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the network named AxeDash-XXXX. The last four characters are unique to your device.
- Open the setup page. It usually pops up on its own. If it doesn't, open a browser and go to http://192.168.4.1
- Enter your Wi-Fi details. Pick your home network and type its password, then save.
- Wait for it to connect. AxeDash restarts and joins your Wi-Fi. When it's connected, the screen shows its web address.
- Reconnect your phone or computer to your normal home Wi-Fi.
Add your miners
- On any device on your home Wi-Fi, open a browser and go to http://axedash.local. If that doesn't load, type the IP address shown on the AxeDash screen instead (for example, http://192.168.1.50).
- Add each Bitaxe on the dashboard page. You can scan your network for Bitaxes, or add them manually by IP address. Find a miner's IP address on its own screen or in your router's device list.
- Within a few seconds, each miner appears on the AxeDash screen with its live stats. AxeDash also shows the BTC price, network hashrate and difficulty.
