Title: when i run the ”cgminer-nogpu.exe” with settings, it closes automatically?????
Post by: Arod2831 on November 10, 2013, 07:56:55 PM
when i enter the .bat with this setting,"C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username].[worker] -p [password] –icarus-options 115200:1:1 –icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM4" its says " cgminer-nogpu.exe: -: unrecognized option. Then if i enter it without the current settings its starts up but it doesn't find the usb erupters.

i have all the drivers files and tried different ways of fixing it but to no avail, on a win 7 am trying on cg miner 3.7 and 3.1. thank you for your time :)

The serial drivers and icarus timings are required for CGMiner 3.1.1 and earlier.

CGMiner 3.7 does not use the serial driver but the WinUSB drivers.  You can install the WinUSB drivers easily with the Zadig utility.  Read the ASIC Readme with CGMiner.  Also on the newer versions of CGMiner the "-icarus" command line options are no longer needed.

it solved some of the problem as in the miner can access the pool, but its doesnt seem to be mining and it says no devices detected and and that work on my pool should restart. What should i do now, i already replaced the drivers to winusb?

Which Miner version are you using?

You installed WinUSB with the Zadig Utility?

If yes, then check each erupter with Zadig to verify that they all are using WinUSB.

I don't think you need the COM commands, I run CGMiner on Win7 and I use  --USB ICA:X   where X=how many erupters you have
