Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread

Quote from: der_wasi on January 20, 2018, 12:02:55 PM Quote from: a_troll_01 on January 19, 2018, 11:48:20 PM So I just purchased my first 2Pac miner, plugged it in and...nothing. The LED on the back of the miner is green and the OS recognizes the device but it will not work with cgminer or BGMiner. The 1st thing I tried was purchasing a couple of powered hubs, both with output over 2.1a per port, and then I bought a HighRock cable. Still nothing! :-( When running cgminer->USB management->L Bus 1 Device 10 ID: 10c4:ea60 GekkoScience 2Pac BM1384 Bitcoin Miner inactive. Some specifics: OS: Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon(3.6.7) 64 bit(fresh install) CGMiner: v 4.10.8(fresh compile) cmd line: ./cgminer -o {stuff} -u {myuserid} -p {gibberish} --gekko-2pac-freq 150 Any suggestions on things that I should try? Thanks in advance! On what positition is your voltage pot? There´s a flat side. Try turning it to 1 or 2 o´clock. 2.1 A is not very much. But usuallly it should start mining a little bit until it goes zombie. And better start with 100 MHz. If that works you can increase. If that all doesn´t work try raspbian os with the exact commands from post #1. I´m not sure what llinux mint is built on. With a debian distribution like raspbian it definitely works. My voltage pot? I'm not really sure how to determine that voltage setting but I assume it's whatever the factory default is.

Quote from: goose1072 on January 20, 2018, 03:15:53 AM This is what you should be using for Windows: cross-compiled cgminer.exe binaries Apr 29, 2017 @ 495461c - cgminer-4.10.0-windows-gekko-495461c.7z Install the zadig generic WinUSB drivers http://zadig.akeo.ie The USB drivers is probably what you are missing. I had that as my original installation, including the zadig.akeo.ie USB driver utility, but I couldn't get it to work. I read a post saying that if you are having issues switch to Linux which is what I did.

Thanks in advance! Have you tried adding the hotplug to the command line (--hotplug n [interval in seconds]), restart cgminer & wait for it to initialize (hub plugged in, but no miners), then plug one stick in @ a time? This has worked for me with more than 2Pacs. I just gave that a try and turned on the Verbose display setting. There is a Device serial GS-10017626 not responding. Is that the 2Pac? Also, if I start cgminer with -n parameter, it lists the 2Pac as USB dev 0 but I can't enable it. very strange Thanks for your help.

Thanks in advance! You followed the instructions contained on the first post, right? I believe I followed all of the instructions, including dumping Windows and install Linux. - I downloaded the latest version of CGMiner & compiled it with the -enable-gekko parm - I made sure that the Pac2 is receiving at least 2.1A(I now own 2 powered hubs and the HighRock cable) - I started CGMiner with the -gekko-2pac-freq parm Can I assume that the green led on the back of the 2Pac indicates that has enough power to operate properly?
