right now till i get my minera back up and running ive been running 4 sticks on a unmodded powered usb3 hub i got from microcenters

there running 300 MHZ at .700 - .705

very proud of them running im getting on bfgminer

73.53/72.48/64.69Gh/s

cbm 0 18.38/18.12/16.15 Gh/s
cbm 1 18.40/18.11/16.12 Gh/s
cbm 2 18.41/18.11/16.01 Gh/s
cbm 3 18.40/18.11/16.38 Gh/s

after an hour

being im not used to running without minera i am not sure what all that means anybody care to enlighten me please do so i cant wait till i can get my minera back up and running

I don't know exactly how to explain but understand how it works but the last number over like in minera is what you are doing pool side per stick that's pretty sweet actually 16 +  GH per stick pool side.


The other two speeds do a lot but the main thing is some thing like what side just said CG does  .

Hi, i had 5 of the compacs running, then switched a few around for better airflow, and 1 of the 5 wont start to hash - (it was previously)

The green light is on, nut no blinking.

I started with a different USB 2.0 powered hub- it was from the old BUYAHASH I found in microcenter which claims to be able to push at least 1Amp per port, and was running in cgminer fine. - unsure of how its able to push at least 1 Amp per port? it is 5Amps total i think?

here is the link to the hub page at microcenter and a breif description:

http://www.microcenter.com/product/431863/10-port_usb_20_hub_w-_power_supply

"Need a cheap, high powered hub?This is the best one weve tested that is compatible with Raspberry Pis and other devices that require the older USB 2.0 protocol. Made by the same manufacturers as our 20-port hub, this model is noticably cheaper, while still ensuring that every port gets the power it needs.Included is a 12v/5a power supply, USB 2.0 cable, and hub. This model is designed for ports that require a high amount of electricity, and should be able to provide at least 5v/1a, or greater per port."

Then connected the ras pi running the modded version of cgminer for the compacs and all 5 were fine and hashing.

Is there a way to reset that one that doesn't hash now?

I am just running them at freq of 175 and the potentiometer is top left corner on each (flat part)

The other 4 are hashing at around 9.5 to 10 GH/s each

thanks!

which USB 3.0 hub is it from microcenter?  and what version of bfgminer are you running?

I had no luck with my USB 3.0 Anker hub running bfgminer.


thanks

unplug it and plug it back in, my stick stops some times even if i use CG I just unplug it then plug it back with BFG run in and it picks right up if you didn't try that yet . i only really wanted one stick or id Polly have more I'm waiting more for the pods and the bigger miners to comes or hope to come from GekkoScience later down the road . There miners seem to run better then any i have used in the two years Ive been mining. I'm not just saying that they do .i don't kiss but so to speak i do get in a lot of trouble form time to time because i don't care what i say .

yea ive tried unplugging and plugging back in a few times, just wonder if it got messed up somehow, even though it has a sold green light on it?

usb hub is a
http://www.microcenter.com/product/431657/7-Port_USB_30_Aluminum_Hub

that hub has how much power per data port?

also do you mind sharing the config you used successfully?

Also are you using a USB 3.0 cable directly into your PC?

Thanks!

[cavaliersrus]

not right now its plugged into a usb 2.0 extension cord into a usb 3 slot as for the power per slot i am not sure currently i am using .7v per miner and also a usb powered fan connected on the same hub

as for my config im using a .bat file

bfgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us-central01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -u cavaliersrus.22284 -p x --set cbm:clock=x0b82


it is in my bfgminer 5.4.0 folder as bfgminer.bat

[toptek]

if you don't know how export a BFG.config in BFG its the same as CG  hit your S key in BFG while it running then i think it says W to write in the list if that helps any and name whatever and don't for get were you saved it unlike minera were you hit save In UI it asks were to put it on your PC at bottom of one of the setting .

what i had to do when that happened to me on my windows machine i had to go into device manager and uninstall and delete the drivers for the compac's then refresh and let windows find the drivers for a Silicon labs cp210x usb to uart bridge (com) then if they dont work do the zadiag usb driver change and that worked

I use PI's, but yea I guess you would have to on a Windows box .I guess that's the nice thing about PI's you never really have to deal with driver ever just other issue like updates won't update due to bad paths form the last up date etc . PI use way less power , i have yet to try to run Windows IoT  on PI i don't see a reason to .

[cavaliersrus]

normally i use my raspberry pi b+ 512 but for some reason my damn pi keeps shutting down i think the image or sd is corrupted im going to have to rebuild the img of it

That's it it can be saved to file to if it didn't and then used again over over on another BFG etc just like in minera, in minera it just easier to do , better to look at .

i still cant get that 1 sad guy to hash.

also in minera am starting to see more entries like:
COMPAC11
COMPAC12
COMPAC13
COMPAC14
COMPAC15

It seems to be reproducing them, looks like this:




any idea on that?

reboot the PI  from time to time minera does that i found, if i reboot the pi it loads in right, if you didn't if that doesn't work turn off everything then turn on the pi and go from there .

ON my Gblack one time i think i saw it load in 30 blades so i did reboot and it loaded up the 10 i have in the right order etc . i think i even saw it once load in 6 compac when i run in miera one time til i rebooted then it showed one .

lol ...yea, it looks like the BUYAHASH company just re-branded it and gave bad specs?

so first they say:

Super 10 separate USB ports, support 10 devices simultaneously, supports 500TB large capacity hard disk; can support 10 phones ,While charging (available for ipad / iphone charging). Each USB port provides charging current 500mA

then in the QnA they say:

3, use the product that can recharge the device or IPHONE?
Answer: (1) the product each port to provide 5 v, current 750 ma, in your time limitation of the charging request is not high, can charge, because of the device, the IPHONE must to charge when activate the USB protocol, so the charge must be connected to computer at the same time, and charging current is limited to 500 ma.


so what is the real deal? lol
