New cgminer version, 3.2.2, hopefully fixes a lot of bugs with the direct USB behaviour on these devices.

I used cgminer 3.2.1 to connect to btcguild, but I get this error:
[2013-06-16 14:14:28] USB init, open device failed, err -12, you need to install a Windows USB driver for - AMU device 2:5
[2013-06-16 14:14:28] Icarus detect (2:5) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)
I did install the driver CP210x_VCP_Windows on my win8 PC, and the USB erupter works fine with Bitminter using its client.
My script is:
cgminer-nogpu.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u xxxx -p yyyy
can someone help please.

It tells you why exactly there. You need to install a windows usb driver. As the docs say, you DO NOT USE THE FTDI DRIVER that other software uses, when using cgminer. You'll see exact instructions for it spelt out in the ASIC-README included with cgminer. |

If you don't want to answer my questions, just skip them, ok? Anyway thanks for the cgminer. |

I can confirm that with proper cooling, the HW error rate of the Block Eruptor drops to a fraction of the rate without cooling. The Arctic Breeze USB fan is ideal for this, although you may have trouble fitting it into your USB hub. I used a separate USB power supply.

Their fans were not doing the trick so....their idea did as errors rate dropped after mod. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220905.msg2479246#msg2479246Actually, scratch what I said. I haven't run the rig long enough to see if the cooling affects the HW error rate this much. Watch this space. |

Actually, like I said previously, I have 9 with the fan in a hub and one just plugged straight into the PC and while that one has one of the higher error rates, it is not the worst! I also tried throwing one in the fridge and then freezer for 20 mins and trying it and hashrate & error rate was the same as the others. Also, about the theory that they are too close - one of the worst error rate ones is right next to one of the best ones. So, I'm getting the impression that it's pretty random how each one performs, just like lemons come off car assembly lines and I can tell you from my job, that quality of workmanship is really the BIGGEST factor in how a product performs. Obviously, design and quality of materials are also huge factors.

What's the formula to calculate HW error % rate? HW divided by A?

That is how I'm calculating it. |
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

That is how I'm calculating it. In that case I'm getting about 0.8% error with cooling. Without cooling I'm getting 1.0% However, without cooling, my hashrate starts to drop after a couple of days. The fan seems to fix this. |
