i keep getting HW errors 100% on some of the usb erruptors. when i test them on another pc they test fine. i tried uninstalling(delete driver) a reinstalling(reinstall driver)

Almost always power issues.

Could be a power problem. erupters need steady clean power at 500mA each. overloading the power source will induce more errors as the available current falls.

Also I have noticed less errors if the PC is not used for other activities.

i connected a cable to my pc 5V rail. a odin gt 800W i can monitor the amps per channel..........

ed. also getting   strtum from pool 0 requesting work update.....and it sticks there

I know you're busy with the BitFury code, Luke-Jr, but any ETA on the stratum proxy support on BFGMiner?  I'd love to run my rig off an OpenWRT box, save running a PC in the house all the time...or even the http getwork server for OpenWRT.  

I want to get every little bit of use out of that little TP-Link.

[Luke-Jr]

Anyone care to donate a thumb and a board to Luke-Jr so we can get BFGMiner support too at some point?

I will send boards to Luke Jr once we have them made. 

^ looks like I can confirm future Drillbit support for BFGMiner.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I will send tips if someone wouldn't mind helping me make a .bat file?  I'm not familiar with the basics of that...

Currently I have to change directories manually after running cmd (windows)...
...then paste this in...
bfgminer -G -o http://pool1 -u user_worker -p 123 -o http://pool2 -u user_worker -p 123

Assuming you have the bfgminer dir on your desktop\bfgminer

Code:

@echo off
Echo ---------------

Cd C:\users\%username%\desktop\bfgminer
Bfgminer.exe [options]
Echo --------------------

Thanks.

Is there a way to have the window a certain size in the batch file?  I always manually stretch out the window after typing cmd but it appears the window can't be changed after running.

[Taugeran]

Right click the upper left corner click defaults and change settings. Save close window

Restart. Should be in effect now min width and buffer I recommend is 81 characters

cheers

Thanks man.  Can you post an image of your qr code?  I wanna send you a tip.  Can't seem to log into my blockchain right now, but my phone works.

easy way of doing things

goto where your miner is copied, my case c:\miner\bfg321
right click in there and make a new text document. double click on it to edit and as below copy the line in and adjust to where your miner is copied too. once done exit and save. rename file to file.bat notice the icon should change. right click on newly made file and select send to desktop as short cut.


C:\miner\bfgminer321\bfgminer.exe -o pool -u worker1 -p password1 -Q 10 --net-delay -L log.txt -G -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100


in my case i made its own little folder cause of different versions of miners.
Hope this helps , if you still have batch file problems lemme know.

at last got 10 out of 12 erupters running..... few errors among the 10 2 to 13% but 100% on the two little buggers. cant be power issues cause the majority running of the pc psu and it's pulling 10.7A.

how difficult is it going the winUSB route?

Personally, I found that a real pain in the ass, and you would have to use cgminer as BFG will stop recognising the BE.

C:\miner\bfgminer321\bfgminer.exe -o pool -u worker1 -p password1 -L log.txt -G -S erupter:all

Fixed.

C:\miner\bfgminer321\bfgminer.exe -o pool -u worker1 -p password1 -L log.txt -G -S erupter:all

Fixed.

so u say the ica timing not needed? mmmm

ed. tried it getting this  BES 2: Work division autodetection failed (assuming 2): got 00000000 ?
                                 BES 4: Work division autodetection failed (assuming 2): got 00000000

Timings are only needed if you are doing non standard activities.
work division probably would not make a noticeable difference with 12 erupters. If you run 100 erupters then its worth it.

Never seen that Work Division thing.  The ICA timing isn't needed.

But it simply wont start with the -S all and without it sees no Block Erupters

Further to this, if I start it with -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1 etc it loads ok (but is always 1 USB short of the actual when doing D - M), just the 'all' that causes it to stop

I'm thinking it's something to do with the BFL kit being in the middle of the USB Hub/Erupter chain - without the hub with eth BFL kit connected the -S all works
