Mad Max Plotter, how to automate?

[chiatrust]

Hello everyone,

I’m using MadMax since this morning, it works well even if i need to improve my settings (50min per plot).
My main question (till now, I was using official chia software for plotting), how to automate the plotting process ? I mean not to launch manually MadMax script every hour…

Thanks!

You can use the parameter -n to set how many plots you want to create one after the other.

So if you want to make 24 plots in a row, you set “-n 24”

Oh many thanks!
Indeed, it was so easy

What I have realised the easiest way to do this is that if you have a target drive let’s say you’ve attached a new 5TB drive, then you can set this drive as the final directory, in the plot.cmd or plot_with_log.cmd file and set number of plots to whatever fits on this drive, if its 5TB then 47 plots. Fire and forget.

If you are on windows you can also plot to a single location and have windows automate move the plots to their final location on any disk.

Thanks WolfGT - I woke up this morning with that very thought! Hard code a list and iterate through it - its slightly less automated, but definitely an acceptable compromise. However, Im still having problems getting the Flow to iterate the list when list items arent actually folders. I must be missing something. Dont suppose you are able to share your Flow? The other issue I have is that copying takes so damn long. Both machines are wifi, but still, Im only getting like 5MB/sec so theres some…
