Have you tried putting it back on the Pi that it was working on prior to moving to the PC? If it still acts the same way, I would reach out to the reseller you purchased the unit from, they would be able to assist you further.

The NewPac did never run on the Pi, just the first time on the PC as mentioned above.

Thanks again for the replies, you guys help is really appreciated!

I think something got mixed up here. I do only own ONE NewPac ASIC stick, not two. Maybe i was a bit unclear about that.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with computerrestarts after every step. -> same error as before
Also i tried to run cgminer on a different laptop (also win10) which gave the same error pattern.

Windows shows that the driver works correctly after installation using zadig.

Any other suggestions?

Just 2 more from me.  Try adding a lower difficulty?  --suggest-diff 128 --gekko-lowboost

And try a different pool to see if it is pool related.

Hey, thanks for your suggestions vickersja. Tried Both but it did not make any difference.

Hey bassrelic,

i noticed your hub only has a 5V3A power supply

"【USB 3.0 hub power supply】 - The 5V / 3A wall charger supplies the USB hub"
at 3A, that would not provide enough power to run multiple miners, have you tried running a single USB miner at a time and see how they work then?

Hi 419mining  and thanks for the observation and the remark. I am Aware of that. I just wanted to get to know how to mine in the first place and just picked up a not so sophisticated hub which i can also use comfortably for other things. Also i only own one NewPac miner atm - thus i think the hub specs should be sufficient (?)

I am starting to think that the ASICs could be gone for some reason. I set everything up for 100MHz (Without active cooling). I read online that this should be fine but above active cooling is adviced. Is it possible that the IC's suffered heat damages within 1-2 hours at room temp? (21°C / 69,8°F).

2 things I can think of.

First, you may need to run the Zadig again.  I found that sometimes when I unplugged mine it would "see" it again unless I reinstalled the drivers. Second, and not sure if you need to do this since it ran before, but I had to add --gekko-lowboost at the end.

From what I recall about the lights is that solid means power but not hashing and blinking mean power and hashing.

Just tried it, but it still does not work Sad

Any other tips?

Hey Guys, im new to Cryptomining and got myself a NewPac and this USB hub: https://www.amazon.de/atolla-Netzteil-SuperSpeed-Datenhub-Intelligenter-Schwarz/dp/B07P6MPXJ7

Setup and the first testrun was simple and everything worked fine with a Hashrate of about 22Gh/s (Running on a Windows 10 Laptop)

I tried to set up my Rpi 3 B for usage with the NewPac. I did not get this up and running, so i switched back to the laptop.

Now the NewPac does not seem to want to work anymore. - i get the errors: GSH 0 failure, disabling! / GSH 1 failure, disabling!

I used this command the whole time:

Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u bassrelic.newpac --gekko-newpac-freq 100 2>logfile.log

Trying to find the cause, i measured the voltages at the testpoints which seem to be fine (421mV, 821mV).

Any suggestions regarding the cause / what to do now?

On a related note: i was not able to find the exact meaning of the two LED, yould you shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance!
