I can't for the life of me get the bat file to start up with the latest cgminer software... tried all sorts of -o's and -p's


I have 6 R box Rockminers 110-130/Ghs each connected to my comp (which has internet via wifi) via USB and Powered by a 1000watt PSU
I'm using BTC guild as my pool
I want to control the freq of each miner ( i have made 6 worker names in BTC guild website) i.e. -Rock-Freq 350?
So....
What would I exactly type into the Notepad, that I would then save it as "StartMining.bat"  (any file)--save it to the cgminer folder then double click to run.

Halp!!!

Also to add when i started the cgminer exe it told me that the block erupter needed WINusb with Zadig/ Thing is i changed the software to that on a Rosewell 10port USB2.0 hub and then it said nothing was detected, so had to scrap that hub; and finally i could not connect to BTC guild wrong URL (Perhgaps I am inputting the info incorrectly possibly).

this is what i have
cgminer -o stratum.btcguild.com::3333 -u BTCusername -p BTCpass --rock-freq 350

This is a guess but I'm thinking on of the : need to be deleted.  I bolded where it is in.   But I have never used 2 in a row.

I'm thinking it should be stratum.btcguild.com:3333

IF that is the mistake everything else checks out right?

I cannot say I have not used a rockminer box.  That is only thing I could point out for sure is a error.

Alright success on connecting to the pool that Issue is over....Now the issue/question. What is a suitable USB HUB that can handle 6 rockminer Rboxes... because I tried this hub http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182208&cm_re=Rose_well_USB_hub-_-17-182-208-_-Product (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182208&cm_re=Rose_well_USB_hub-_-17-182-208-_-Product) and CGminer was telling me to run Zadig on it to switch it to WinUSB...which i did then it just became totally undetectable and thereby useless. If i had to guess i would think that this particular hub isn't compatible with the WINusb driver software?!?!?

That sounds like same driver as the block erupter.   I could be wrong someone please say something if I am.

If they are using the zadig you might look at a old thread on the forums that compared usb hubs.  The did a great anlaysis on hubs for the block erupter days.  I would not think powered hub is needed with the Rboxex, but I have not used one myself.

Ah okay, and I gathered more info on me problem.
 So basically its saying this over and over when using the rosewell 10 port hub

Blockerupter USB init failed
USB open device failed, err- 12
You need to install WinUSB driver for - BET Device 1:6
And associate - BET device 1:6 with WinUSB using zadig

USB init, open device failed, err -12

AMU prompt goes up to 1:9 (and i think the BAT one)

Alright I think I ruled out the hub because exchanged the rosewell with a 49 port Eyeboot hub and cg miner still giving me the above prompts

why not contact crazy guy buy a rasp pi and have he program it with an sdcard. he sold 6 boxes to me last year along with a preprogrammed rasp pi. i will find a link

look at this thread

I finally got it fixed with the Zadig on the Rockminers themselves then, i connected to BTCguild stratum- it was running fine for a few seconds possibly a minute and then it stopped taking shares from BTCstratum

Network Diff Changed to 47.9 G
Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted
Pool 0 Stratum share submission failure
Pool 0 stratum+tcp://startum.btcguild.com:3333 not responding

This is what I got in my .bat:
cgminer --icarus-options 115200:1:1 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u BTCusername -p 12345 --rock-freq 350


I'm close to figurin this out

Noted Philipma I'll check it out for sure thanks!
Right now I just gotta figure out how to maintain connection to BTCguild's pool I have a feeling I might be typing something incorrectly and I know its not my BTC username mmmmmm......

drop the freq to 330 been a while since I ran them.    


not to be stupid but how are you powering them?

 1 pcie wire in correct?

try running 1 of them at freq 330


they need a usb and the pcie connected.

Got it working im successfully mining my first coins through a different pool not BTCGuilds (I just input another pool type and it worked) I got a Rosewell 1000 Watt hooked up to 6 R-Boxes i have them at 325 Freq each doin 120gh/s, i havnt tried 330 i might later to see if i can get them all to reach 130 gh/s, but I might just nee a lil bit more juice from the PSU to reach 130 across all (iv tried 350 freq- 3 of the 6 were running at 130gh/s and the other 3 were about 110 gh/s, so thats when i decided to set freq to 325 to balance it out). Thxs for the help all!!!!! :)))))))))) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182188&cm_re=Rosewell_PSu-_-17-182-188-_-Product (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182188&cm_re=Rosewell_PSu-_-17-182-188-_-Product) is what im using 38-40cs in temp all across the bored with 120gh/s ea
