Quote from: sidehack on February 28, 2018, 04:35:16 AM Ooh handy, error codes. Gonna have to update my testing station. Yes, voltages across the different nodes would be handy. Maybe on the reset pin also. Wait, you're looking at the chips? You pulled off the heatsink? When it re-enumerates, does it tell you how many chips are detected? VH, I don't know if updated version of your software mention how many chips are detected (the old version on my bench computer does) but that's useful diagnostic info. These looked like the components with the test points on the 2PAC, I had them as the ASICs, but of course they are just caps, maybe high filters for the supply to the ASICs? Anyway, no, I did not pull off the heat sink, I will gladly measure across these caps, or the nodes you mentioned, any other test points and report back. Each enumeration identifies the correct number of chips per device, including the Terminus resets after it fails and restarts.

Just cloned VH's latest from git and recompiled. Running CGMINER with only pool and sugg-diff 40 switches. All cmd line, no config file (need to work the JSON fail at start up sometime in the future). Really grateful at how frequent the versions and potential solutions are coming, but problem hasn't changed for my single Terminus, Ubuntu PC, supplied 12V brick, 1 ea Terminus, 2PAC and COMPAC, pot turned to max CW (5:00) position. Terminus runs error free for about 15 minutes when starting cold, then there are about 4-5 of these a minute: [2018-02-27 21:54:05.405] GSE 0 failure, disabling!

I'm hashing faster than with just the two little brothers, but I don't want to release the magic smoke from the 808 as I try the s/w updates. - How high can the serial after GSE (i.e. GSE 1, GSE 2,...) go? I've seen as high as a 100 or so, but generally restart after that. Many many thanks, if I ever get the herp to clear dust, and power through my postponements, I'll gladly split that massive payday. If I hit a block I've never heard of any of you ha ha

Apologies, totally jumping the gun here, super grateful to be in the early receivers group.

Connected my new Terminus to my Ubuntu PC controller as soon as I got it. The PC was running with a COMPAC and a 2PAC in the stock USB 2.0 ports, 150MHz and 100MHz respectively. CGMINER found the 808 right away, ran it at 100MHz, and CKPOOL started taking shares. I saw this awesome threesome get up to a 5 min rate of around 110GH/s.

I checked my user account 20 mins later and the rate was down to the original 19GH/s. The Terminus was continuously failing and restarting. I took everything apart, pulled the latest VTOHANG fork of CGMINER, and recompiled. I connected just the Terminus, started up CGMINER, using only pool switches, piping it to log.txt:

I tried a couple different pot positions/voltage levels, starting clock rate switches (75, 100, 150) in the startup command, to no noticed change. I put it back to the "5:00"/max voltage/min resistance setting (where it was when I got the 808).

After this I unplugged the Terminus, plugged in my 1 and 2 chip USB sticks, and came back up normally.

So a couple questions: Does the Terminus require a Pi controller? Thoughts on what I should try next?

Thanks
