Print Page - Gekkoscience BSD 0: found 0 chip(s)

Hello,

Before I start, I would like to apologize for my english and unfortunately go through google trad

I bought a raspberry pi 3b + and a Gekkoscience 2Pac about 1 month ago. For 1 week, the Gekkoscience worked well but without knowing why, it stopped working after 1 week of use. Now, every time I want to restart it, he puts this message to me:

Code:

[2019-03-01 14:14:26.352] BSD 0: 2Pac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner (10015069)
[2019-03-01 14:14:26.405] BSD 0: found 0 chip(s)
[2019-03-01 14:14:26.405] Network diff set to 6.07T
[2019-03-01 14:14:38.978] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block at height 565204

The green LED stays on constantly without changing position.
I hope that the "found 0 chip (s)" is not a sign of bad omen.
I use this command with this command:

Code:

./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.ckpool.org:3333 -u USER -p PASSOWRD --gekko-2pac-freq 25 --usb 1:8

Telling myself that the raspberry pi may not be powerful enough, I switched to another material.

My hardware is a Nuc7i5bnhx1 with Ubuntu Mate x64 installed on it. I have already updated the OS. The Gekkoscience is plugged into a usb that can deliver 5V 1.5A. I tested on several USB and check that they are functional. If you need more information, I remain at your disposal. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is a common issue on Gekkoscience usb miner. They mostly recommend to reduce the frequency first if it can detect the chips but as I can see you already set the frequency to 25 without zero.

Can you try replace this --usb 1:8 to --usb :1

Anyway, if it doesn't work you can directly go to their official thread from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.0
