Oh, NewPac. That's a whole different animal with its own support thread.

I am having the same issue BSD 10014891: found 0 chip(s) I think it means the miner died. Do they still produce these miners?

Hello, I'm playing around with a gekko compac f, and I'm seeing this error: GSF0: GetResults (amt=0 err=-7 ern=60)
Does anyone know what it is referring to?
Thanks.

I've no idea but you'll get answers faster if you move this to the Compac-F thread...

Old thread so doubt this will get answered, but, I have 2 chips missing on one of my sticks and want to replace them, but don't know the specs on them. Anyone tech savvy that can help? The first one is the tiny (resistor?) That has 103 on it. Next is the (Capacitor?) That is the smallest one on the board.
This is for the Newpac USB miner

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I am not really sure how to post correctly. Sorry if this post is misplaced.
I bought 1 Compac F and a 7-port USB hub. Things didn't work for me so I am trying to figure out what the problem is. Here's my setup: - 1 GekkoScience Compact F - 1 7-pot USB hub from bitcoinmerch.com with individual switches and blue LEDs per USB port - Ubuntu 22.04 laptop - cgminer (I tried novak and kanoi versions from github)
I plugged my mouse to the USB hub. It works. Blue LED lights up. I plugged my keyboard to the USB hub. It works. Blue LED lights up. I plugged the Compac F device to the USB hub. No Blue LED light. No Red LED light either on the Compac F. I see messages in dmesg when I plug and unplug the mouse and the keyboard. There are no messsages added to dmesg when I plug and unplug Compac F. I made sure the power switch is on. I used hardinfo app in ubuntu to check the list of USB devices. It shows the same behavior as dmesg. I've tried running cgminer (both novak and kanoi versions). Both say no device detected.
Is this an indication that I received a defective Compac F device?
Please help. Thanks!

Hi Folks !! This is my first post here. I hope this is the right place to post this. I got a Gekkoscience Newpac to do lottery mining for fun. I read in the manuals on the web that you can adjust the vcore from 550mV to max 880mV. Are these correct ? But when i check my voltage i have only 480mV on both chips and i cant set it any higer with the potentiometer. I use a normal powered USB Hub nothing special. Anybody knows the correct stock vcore settings ?

Hello, The Pi 3B that uses my 2PAC's was running on Raspbian Stretch. This device was also my Pi-hole dns server. As I wanted to update the pi-hole I noticed that the OS was unsupported so I upgraded to Buster. Since then the cgminer didn't start anymore. I tried running the commands on post 1 again and everything works until I try the make command. It always nags about a missing curl altho I installed several versions already. Any idea on how to get a (recent) working version again? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) make[2]: Entering directory '/home/pi/Desktop/miner/2pac/cgminer/ccan' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Desktop/miner/2pac/cgminer/ccan' make[2]: Entering directory '/home/pi/Desktop/miner/2pac/cgminer' CC cgminer-cgminer.o CC cgminer-util.o gcc: error: ’-I/usr/include/curl’: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Makefile:982: cgminer-cgminer.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gcc: error: ’-I/usr/include/curl’: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Makefile:996: cgminer-util.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Desktop/miner/2pac/cgminer' make[1]: *** [Makefile:1835: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/Desktop/miner/2pac/cgminer' make: *** [Makefile:794: all] Error 2

No idea which steps you did or what computer you are compiling on, and this isn't my project code. But the error clearly says you missed installing curl that is listed in a few of the steps in the first post.

As I wrote above I did the commands for the Pi that are listed in post 1 installing the curl again shows I have already the latest installed but it still can't find the source or resourse file. pi@raspberrypi:/usr/include $ sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libcurl4-openssl-dev is already the newest version (7.64.0-4+deb10u6). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

And as Kano replied - that is NOT his code. There are many hacked/obsolete versions of it out there with who knows what changes made to it. The code you are using is one of them.
Use his code. As the sole remaining active primary developer of it you are assured of it being clean and the most current version. Link to it is in his sig.

Thanks for the hint NotFuzzyWarm. Maybe post 1 could be updated with something that works then ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) for those who are not familiar with linux commands here's what I used to make it work (again) thanks to Kano's well documented cgminer's github page. sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev git
cd ~ mkdir mining cd mining
git clone https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -fcommon" ./configure --disable-libcurl --enable-gekko
make
sudo ./cgminer --widescreen

I have 2x2PAC miners and I'm trying to find out where I can get the 3D print of the same "case" for the FAN for the Compac F.
Does anyone knows?
Thank you in advanced.

Everything from 2Pac to the present are mechanically compatible, so if it fits a Compac F it should fit the 2Pac.
Unless you lucked into the batch where our main heatsink provider was out of stock and we had to use a backup with slightly different dimensions, but the vast majority are identical.
I know altair tech has snap-on fans, might check out that site.

As it says, read the README file. You prolly didn't setup the USB miner as explained in the README file.
