Hey, I can't seem to get my USB block erupter to work correctly. I'm using cgminer 3.1.1 on Windows 7 x64 My batch file is this: C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] -S \\.\COM3 I have the silabs drivers installed, and I can see the miner from the devices and printers menu. When I try to run the batch file, I get these errors: https://i.imgur.com/qnb4e4l.pngAfter this, cgminer stops working and closes. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Your slashes are backwards. Should be:
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3

Switching the slashes for \\.\COM3 still produces the same error.

Paste your bat file here leaving worker name blank. Even a space in the wrong place will screw it up.

Latest cgminer does not use or support the -S command. That was removed a long time ago. But you DO NEED TO READ ASIC-README on how to set up the driver for the erupter to work.

No. Copy and paste this if you are using 3.1.1 C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o [pool]:[port] -u [username] -p [password] --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 Do not include the brackets []

Bfgminer works pretty well with the erupters without any difficulty. bfgminer -S all -o -u -p

Copy-pasting the new text into the batch file didn't really change anything

I tried bfgminer 3.2.0, and it only detects my gpu.
For the block erupter, it says "Do not have user privileges required to open \\.\COM3", even when I run it as administrator.

-nogpu.exe -o <xxx pool info xxx> -u xxx -p xxx --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM18
That's what I'm running with zero issues on cgminer 3.1.1

Well, I'm mining!
I have no idea what happened; I didn't change anything.
Cgminer 3.1.1 just happened to start working. Well, in any case, I'm definitely very happy!

Follow the instructions in the ASIC Readme.

Try a different USB slot. Sometimes USB2 works better then USB3.

bfgminer didnt work because you also needed -icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 to go along with your -S All argument.

Nope, not true for the actual versions (3.14 and upwards) all you need is -S erupter:all The last version 3.20 also produces less hardware errors than older versions or cgminer. (cgminer/older bfgminer has usualy about 1% hardware errors with USB Erupters, with 3.20 the hardware error rate drops to about 0.6%)
