why is it not working?
is not detected by the computer?
i have repaired now so mutch demaged erupters...
if it is not detected and silabs is getting hot, then its:
a.) demaged silabs chip
b.) demaged asics
if you give the erupters to mutch current, the first think what burns is the silabs chip.
if you had luck, the asic is still working (if current wasnt to mutch).
if you have bad luck, silabs and asic is demaged.
if you change silabs chip with new one, and silabs is still getting hot, then asic have a short and is demaged.
if you get 000000 on detection in cgminer, then also asic is demaged.
if you have accepted shares but also many hw errors, it can have many reasons...
a.) bad asic (i have 2 asics, which are working but produze many hw errors)
b.) if you give not enugh ampere to the erupter (maybe to mutch erupters on 1 hub)
c.) some bad soldered resistor
if you get not detected erupter at all, check the usb connetor pins, sometimes they are not good soldered.
if you whant to have your erupter always detected with same comport number or if you have conflicts,
write your own serial number into the silabs chip and you can connect the erupter in any usb port and
you will get always the same port number again without need to install drivers again and again.
iam working now on a standalone asic miner with raspberry pi and 16x2 lcd build into a metall case and 5volt fans.
iam working now in the programming part, everything can be set directly with 2 buttons and the 16x2 hd44780 lcd.
you can set wlan, pool adress, pool username, pool password, backup pools and so on...
so you never need to connect the system to any other computer, everything can be set directly on the raspberry itself.
when iam finished with it, i release the source and the shematic to build it yourself.
its very simple to build, just a 16x2 (or any other) lcd, some wires and some resistors, 2 push buttons...
here is the video:
