Wrong setting. It's should be --hexminerc-voltage 1100 --hexminerc-options 16:1500 Check the asics, Gen2 is Avalon A3255-Q48. I have been putting hexminerb 900 hexminerb 16:540 then hexminera 1500 hexminera 16 540 so your saying leave off second part and add --hexminerc-voltage 1100 --hexminerc-options 16:1500 Sorry Zich I am a bit off a noob Steve Did you own HEX16A too? If not then no need to add command --hexminera-voltage 1460 --hexminerc-options 16:480 Just use: sudo nano ./cgminer --hexminerc-voltage 1100 --hexminerc-options 16:1500 --hexminerb-voltage 900 --hexminerb-options 16:540
Check my previous post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=323727.msg5211950#msg5211950

Also it seems to have one blinking red light
Fast red blinking mean hashing

hello all I have 2 miners running off of a raspberry pi one is a hex16B which runs around 44 ghs
The other is suppose to be a Hex16A2 which should run at 24 ghs but I set up voltage to 1500 and options to 16:540 yet it seems to only manage around 7 ghs 1500/705mV not sure how to tell if this is a 16A or 16A2
Thanks for any help or advice

Is the most recent version of cgminer from ckolivias supposed to recognize this device or do I need a specific one? I didn't see a hexc when I ran it after the usual run through to get a device working.
Before compile the cgminer, you need to patch it first. Patch available on technobit download page for cgminer-3.12.31. git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git 2. mv cgminer cgminer-3.12.3 3. cd cgminer-3.12.3 4. git checkout e447b697d90c4d1e4c6a2dc8bd9bfc3eab23115f 5. wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfx7l4hz5ywgw3x/e447b697d90c4d1e4c6a2dc8bd9bfc3eab23115f.patch 6. patch -p1 < e447b697d90c4d1e4c6a2dc8bd9bfc3eab23115f.patch 7. ./autogen.sh --enable-hexminera --enable-hexminerc --enable-hexminerb --enable-hexmineru --enable-hexminer8 8. make

Hi,
I just got one of these boards and can't seem to get it to connect to a pool. Right now I wanted to try btcguild since it was in the list for the hex software but I just keep getting a timeout error in the proxy. I set up the firewall to make sure I had access to the internet but it still says no connection to the internet. I've tried it without and at least I get debug data that its doing something but btc guild shows nothing going on.
I have the drivers to which I think I'm supposed to have and seemed to have a positive connection in the test tab.
Is there a newer version of the hex software that does stratum without the proxy? I have the 1.0.0.3
Thanks
Latest version also use proxy. If you insist using pc, the best is to install linux on virtual PC then compile cgminer. Or you can buy TPLINK TL-MR3020, flash it with openwrt image from technobit & happy mining.

i appreciate your help, but here's my .ini... where do i change it? Configuration 1 0 0 1370 657 False True True True False True [Pool] http://localhost:8332http://btcguild.com:8332http://mining.eligius.st:8337[PoolIndex] 0 [UserName] hex16a_2 hex16aa_1 hex16a_3 hex16a_Avalon2Test hex16a_Mitko hex16a_CCA1Test [UserNameIndex] 5 [Password] 1 1 [PasswordIndex] 1 [StratumConverterOptions] -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -o stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334 [StratumConverterOptionsIndex] 0 2 1,000 250 True 60 Your ini is for latest version that support HEX8 which don't had the true false value. I didn't had any trouble change the value like previous version. But you can try edit ini file but make sure you save it as ini not txt. .... [StratumConverterOptionsIndex] 0 2 1,100 1500 True 60

Is there someone that have replaced the noisy fan and running stable @260/1000 ?
Impossible! But does depend if you win the silicon lottery, I see there are some more efficient A1 chips out there, and how cold your room is. Best I've seen on the pre-production lot was someone running 230/950 with more quiet fans blowing down the sides. It would need a larger heatsink area, if only I could get a 3rd fan on top! That industrial heatsink is made more for durability than surface area, but you could increase surface area by cutting slices across it. There's a flat area under the heatsink (4.8x10cm) where you could attach a CPU/GPU heatsink and 92mm fan or even a water cooling block to a radiator! Wow, as this is my only bitcoin mining machine, i will not modify it "too much" until i reach ROI. Changing the fans is a modification i can handle, changing the whole heatsink is too risky for now... Btw it is a very stable machine, running @260/1000 for one week now... And i would like to thanks the whole community here (specially gator and zich), cause they really provide good help. You are welcome gcube

anyone know why with hexminer 1.0.0.3 i cannot increase the voltage above 1.000?
You should be able to increase the voltage when the miner already connected to your PC & set right port. definitely can't increase no matter what. tried having just one miner, tried increasing when running, when not running. 1.0.0.2 works, but freezes constantly and starts rejecting everything. That's weird. Maybe you can try latest version http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/498738/hexminer-A1-rar.htmlthanks, but this doesn't work at all. Then use this version https://www.dropbox.com/s/qhmb87ynu93gkf7/HEXMiner1.0.0.3E.rar It's copied from my PC.Ok, just edit HEXMiner.ini. Change true to false one line before voltage setting(1000)

Nice review as always So it's can run with 8 chips command(8:260) right? Woo, patch for cgminer 4.0.0 Yup it can However if you run both 8 chip and 4 chip to a same host leave the chip count to 8, otherwise use 4 as chipcount Nice

My board looks a little different as there is some kind of resister behind the molex, and mine has a 2 pin screw down, not 3 like the picture (probably doesn't make a difference just noting it).
Sorry, this picture is early development board. I take it from OP since i don't own HEX board with molex The additional component add later while HEX16C gone to production. So you can solder the PSU 12V to that additional component

130GH/s with 8 chip? It's 16.25 Gh/s per chip and it's half of Bitmine's ANN. No, this is 4 chips version

Thanks for the info again Zich. So I can solder the 12 v wire to the back of the molex connector? I assume the pin that burnt is where the 12 v line should be soldered. When you say back of molex, are you talking about the bottom of the board or on top of the board under the heat sink? As to the 12 v line, should I use molex connector, or should I cut one of the 12 v lines from the motherboard connector?
I fully understand that I, and I alone am responsible for alterations that may damage the device.
I mean on the opposite side of molex "pin". Check picture. Based on schematic, red arrow is 12 V, black arrow is GND. Compared it with your molex burn pin. All my HEX board come with screw terminal so i can't really tell

Hi, to power a single Avalon2 HEX16A2 is requested 12V + 5V PSU power supplies or only 12V PSU?
Thanks in advance Luca
You only need 12 V. 5V already provided by 5V regulator on HEX board. I burnt out one of the pins in my molex connector. Anybody know where to get a replacement molex connector for the board? Or maybe know an alternate way to power the board without the molex connector ?
Just cut the wire from PSU & solder it to molex back pin You need 12 V only.

I have an unused LC-B250SFX 250W PSU power supplies, is this suitable to power a single Avalon2 HEX16A2?
+5 & +3.3 Combined 105 +5 & +3.3 & +12 Combined 235 +12 16A peak
The option for compiling Avalon2 HEX16A2 driver is --enable-hexminera --enable-hexminerc , is true? Now i try to use a thin client with linux but next week i was planning to buy a MR3020.
Thaks in advance Luca
--enable-hexminerc is enough Made sure you pass to cgminer default-miner as c.you can read change log first Confirm Unlike previous patch, on latest patch you can enable HEXC without HEXA. with e447b697d90c4d1e4c6a2dc8bd9bfc3eab23115f i still have to use --enable-hexminera am i using the wrong patch? That is the right patch. Did you get cgminer directly from git? git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
yes and patching worked fine. When the patch does not fit the cgminer source you normaly get errors while patching. Ooops, sorry for wrong info. I forget that the problem occur on make command. You are right, you still need to enable hexminera I will edit previous post
