Yes, that I found out and I'm and running with it.

But I would like to have et run on my RPi3.
How do you set it up on that?
Is it the Raspbian Stretch with desktop or is it Raspbian Stretch Lite you install on the RPi?

I have Stretch with desktop but as far as I know Lite works as well.

So you're trying to compile it for Windows and then run it on the Linux build for a Pi, instead of compiling the Linux build on the Pi?

No no, my friend.
I just wanted to do this windows thing to see it works.

guys, it still isn't recognizing mine. It worked before, but now it keeps saying no devices detected, even when i started from the beginning again. My usb port still works, as i've plugged different things into it. Anyone have any advise for me?

Try to re-run the zadig USB drivers. See if the devices show up there.

Make sure you're using the cgminer from this thread and not another version.

[jadders]

so i plugged it into a different usb port, and it was recognized so i used zadig again and it worked. Tried to turn it back on this morning, and it's not working again. The usb ports still work for everything else.

I've even uninstalled the gekkoscience drivers from my pc, to reinstall them, but it doesn't work. I'm using the cgminer from this thread

Thanks for all the help so far guys.

Is it staying adequately cool?

[jadders]

yeah dude, it has a usb fan on it all the time

 Perhaps the magical smoke has escaped. 
Do you have access to a USB volt meter, little shaver?

[jadders]

i can try to find one, you think i've ruined the output of the usb?

[sidehack]

Seems more likely than the stick dying and coming back to life. That's why everyone recommends using a powered hub instead of plugging directly into a computer port.

[sidehack]

Well your first problem is terminology. There are no GPUs anywhere near the stick.

Running 200MHz will require increasing the core voltage, and running on a USB port capable of pushing at least about 7.5 watts - that's 1.5 amps.

Without knowing your command line configuration (see the first post for examples) there's no way to know what's wrong with your connecting to a pool.

[sidehack]

Is the -p parameter optional?

Can you ping pool.ckpool.org from your controller?

[sidehack]

Give us a readout of the exact messages cgminer is giving you.

[hurricandave]

The pool never connected to the miner. You must include a password for the miner, -p 123 is the most common. without something you will not receive a connection.

[sidehack]

Hence why I mentioned it two days ago.

[spazzdla]

I am getting "--gekko-comp-freq: unreconized option  any ideas?

[sidehack]

Could be because that's not a real flag. Read the first post.

[sidehack]

If the command line's right but you're not connecting to the pool, I'd guess it's an issue with the port being blocked. Most pools will have a port 80 option of one kind or another, see if that works for you.
