Hashfast Babyjet and CGMINER on Windows

[kamranfaisal]

Hello, I tried searching the topic for past few days but could not really find anything. I was wondering if any of you know how to get Hashfast babyjet running using cgminer on windows computer. I am not much familiar with linux thats why i ask windows. I have two of these units and both of raspery pi crapped out so i have been unable to run them for several days now and i read somewhere that i can connect directly to the computer and run using cgminer. Can anyone please help? thanks a billion.

yes you can run on pc make sure you have the drivers installed so that the pc can see them. I used theses drivers for windows 7 and cgminer 4.3.4 zadig_v2.0.1.161.exe. works fine for me also cgminer -o http://yourpool -u blah -p blah --api-listen --api-network and with the api listen and network you can use the pepper mining app to see temp and other things works great on my babyjet.

I installed zadig and latest cgminer. On the same computer i am doing gpu mining with a different version of cgminer. Will that cause conflict? i am gonna try what you wrote above and let you know. Thanks so much for quick reply.

sorry that's a good question I don't know sorry. im just using a babyjet no scripting stuff if it is an issue maybe run cgminer in another instance>

If you're running an ancient unsupported GPU version of cgminer then you won't have any conflicts running two instances of cgminer since the old GPU version won't even know the hashfast devices. The only issue would be if you were trying to enable the API on both instances of cgminer - then you'd have to set one of them to a different port (see --api-port).
