Title: [SOLVED] Just got some Gridseed 5-chips and I'm having problems... Post by: juggalodarkclow on June 28, 2014, 02:24:56 AM I just received 2 Gridseed 5-chip miners and I've been trying like hell for the last 3 hours to get them working without luck.
I'm using Windows 7 as my controller and I'm mining at clevermining I ran Zadig, installed the WinUSB driver, and tried the CGMiner 3.7.2 Gridseed fork and kept getting "failed to initialize..." I uninstalled the drivers, re-installed the devices, kept the STM32 Virtual COM port driver, and tried BFGMiner 4.0 and it didn't recognize any devices. I tried one of the newer CPUminer forks and I never got any "YAY!" messages. For the love of God can somebody please help me get these things running!!

You should try this: https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355 you can find windows binary at the bottom of the page. Title: Re: Just got some Gridseed 5-chips and I'm having problems... Post by: vm1990 on June 28, 2014, 08:39:25 AM Try uninstall all drivers
Unplug them all Plug them all back in Let windows get the drivers installed Unplug them yet again Plug them back in make sure there in device manager Use zadig to change drivers Unplug Plug back in Run cgminer. If you want to test them then leave them on virtual com drivers and bitminter client should find them. Title: Re: Just got some Gridseed 5-chips and I'm having problems... Post by: juggalodarkclow on June 28, 2014, 11:02:41 AM I discovered the problem, the STM32 drivers were not giving me com port numbers (i.e. Com 4, Com 5, etc.). I updated the virtual com port drivers and everything finally showed up, now they're working fine on the cpuminer fork.
