Title: Avalon nano problem
Post by: Nopi on April 19, 2015, 10:08:32 AM
Hy,
I just bought an Avalon nano usb miner and i have a problem with it.
CGminer and the BFGminer don't recognize it so I started to use the AvalonGUI.
I set the pool, port, worker, password. It shows that it start mining and I can see it in the pool's website. But after 5-6mins the led become green on the stick and it stops mining. I put it on a heatsink so it is cooled.

I'm not sure if this will help you i set up a review/guide for the nano here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1022764.0

It should work with BFGMiner assuming driver is set right.    What command are you using with BFGMiner and what is the result?

I had this problem> I gave up on it and gave the stick away.  Maybe notlist3d can help you with setup.

Hey guys, you just need to install the driver.  ;)
You can get it on http://www.lpcware.com/content/nxpfile/lpcxpresso-link2-usb-driver-package
Once installed, the miners are seen in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" Device Manager as "LPC USB VCom Port (COMn)", where n - accordingly the port number that after rebooting tends to vary.

AvalonGUI is crap - it not install driver and works very bad, so better to install driver manually and use bfgminer or cgminer.

I have six Avalon Nano that works quite so.

I installed all drivers, but the CGminer and the BFGminer don't recognize it. When I plug in I see in the devices that the windows recognize it as a VCOM port. Only the mining program don't.

BFGMiner should work it is the backend of their gui.  There are two different gui's if you try the one in my review I had better luck with it then the more fancy one that is in Chinese.

Assuming you can get it working with the GUI you should be able to get it to work with BFGMiner.  If you open up the .ini file there is a lot of the command needed to run BFGMiner in it.

I do everything in the tutorial that you linked, but still not working.
I do everything right. In the Avalon Miner I press the "Start Mining" button and on the top of the program the "not mining" change to "preparing" but only for a second.

Did you install the driver? And also change the com port in the .ini file?

The video in my download link is in Chinese but it shows from start to finish.
