Sexy. That's probably the biggest single was of these that have ever been run at once. Pictures?

Glad it's working. Sexy. That's probably the biggest single was of these that have ever been run at once. Pictures?
Even sexier would be a short video of them all hashing in the dark. Probably light the area up pretty good.

Dangit, I just now noticed my typo and I can't fix it for it's been quoted. Biggest single wad of those, but I reckon that's probably fairly obvious. Hopefully we can get one of those big effin' hubs off Klintay soon for to play with; his sticks should arrive probably next week so he can test it out first.
I ran a set of nine test sticks in my room at the house for a weekend before sending 'em out to folks. The flashes were quite a sight. Mesmerizing, one might say.

Can the voltage be adjusted on the fly while the stick is hashing, or do I need to shut it down and unplug it? BFGMiner is plug-and-play... :p
bfgminer530 will not see the sticks on my old WinXP box. Neither starting bfg with them (or just 1) plugged in nor hot plugging while bfg is running wakes them up. The program just sits there and asks me to add hardware.
I tried on my WinXP laptop as well and 530 did not see the compac. *shrug

Adjust on the fly. If you go too low you'll start to see hardware errors, just turn it back up.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

best of all I opened those hubs and the mean well psu inside is 78% efficient .
I found a direct replacement that is 85% and I found a oversized one that is 90%
The 90% one can do 30 amps
Would be the best power supply for the 49 port hub if you stay under 25 sticks.
I am ordering 1 direct fit and 1 oversized will get back on this when they arrive.

First, no hub with bfgminer using .bat = bfgminer.exe -o [pool] -u [user] -p [pass] --set compac:clock=x0b83 1) bfgminer530 will not see the sticks on my old WinXP box. Neither starting bfg with them (or just 1) plugged in nor hot plugging while bfg is running wakes them up. The program just sits there and asks me to add hardware. 2) bfgminer530 on my Win7 box sees the sticks, however I get comms errors. Here is just 1 stick: http://i57.tinypic.com/317gjkp.jpg3) when I plug a 2nd stick in the errors happen twice as often: http://i57.tinypic.com/k3q70p.jpgThis has dropped back several pages and I'm still struggling with the Comms error, I cannot figure out what is causing it. Any one have any suggestions? And here's another issue to toss around, on my Win7 box the --set compac:clock tag in my .bat file for bfgminer has no effect on the sticks. I tried several different values and the sticks always hashed at the same rate. I tried omitting the command from my batch file entirely and the sticks hashed the same. What's going on? you have an old xp laptop you can't upgrade further on the windows stepladder use Unbuntu 12.04 (that is the highest i can use on my old only good for xp laptops)
Been wanting to build a linux machine for a while, may as well start out with the old laptop, good idea. Thanks, I'll get back when I get around to installing it.

Glad to hear linux worked out. Seems that there is a big advantage with these sticks on running debian then windows and messing with drivers. And thanks for pic! Nice to see 20 of these hashing away quite impressive.

About the only thing I can think of, is try changing this: --set compac:clock=x0b83 to this: --set compac:clock=0x0b83 Not up on building and running under windows, so don't know if it needs that leading 0 or not.

So there's a miss-type in my OP and I do, in fact, have the leading 0 in my batch file. I tried omitting the leading 0 and still no effect, just to be sure. It's as if bfgminer is ignorning the --set compac command on this computer. Could it be related to my comms error I wonder?

I've seen that for U3's you add -S antminer:all for bfg to see the U3 sometimes, so wondering if it might have carried over to the compac (Novak stripped icarus down for compac and rebuilt it for cgminer, so did Luke jr do the same??). EDIT: Just a thought to, is the "compac" maybe supposed to be "Compac"? Don't know if it would make a difference or not, but?.....

New hardware fixed part of my problem. 2) edit - new usb hub and ran 2 sticks on xp laptop just fine, old hub was crap, will update soon >2 sticks plug in a second stick and all goes to hell, LIBSUB_ERROR out the wazoo and both sticks only hash around 2GH. I didn't try more than 2 sticks.
Any ideas what's going on here? The errors on the Win7 box are very confusing, I did not expect any issues there. I'm thinking most of the fail on the XP machine is probably just the fact that my old WinXP box is old so I'm not too concerned there (gotta build a new computer one day...), but I can run 6 nanofury usb sticks on it at the same time no problem. In fact I can run the 6 nanofury sticks in one instance of cgminer and 1 compac stick in cgminer-gekko at the same time (pictured below), zero issues, so I'm at a loss why more than 1 compac grinds it to a halt. http://i60.tinypic.com/28vxerk.jpg
