Same here all us wasting time dude for free you know it right?

My comment was not meant to be directed at the lack of proper documentation (though technobit makes money selling the devices, they should in theory also provide support). It was directed at myself - I had a couple of weeks between ordering the devices and receiving them and I could not make sure that I have a version of the software that actually works. Sorry if I offended you.

I do not need the tp-link because:
1. If I order it now, it will be a day of two before I receive it.
2. The current PC I use for mining uses something like 30W anyway. Even if I used a different PC (that uses more power), it would still probably not pay off the price of the tp-link and I can use that PC for other things (like stats and control (remotely rebooting the miners) and so on) that could be a problem on the underpowered router (not that the PC I use is that more powerful).
3. My current control PC has TV output, so I do not have to lug a monitor to the basement to see its console (in case it crashes).

Thanks, Zich, I am following those instructions right now, we'll see if this works (I currently have my Single connected to a raspberry and the hex boards to the PC in question).

Of course it will work  Cool
Actually you can buy TPLINK TL-MR3020 in your local favorite computer shop & flash the firmware using image that available on technoBTCit download page. I don't own HEX16B but my HEX16A work great on Pi.

Forget to mention you if you want to overclock the board you need to add
Code:
sudo ./cgminer --hexminerb-voltage 900 --hexminerb-options 16:540

Finlay - Build two instances one for HEX boards (enable hex boards only) one for whatever you want not patched and run them simultaneously - two instances. USBPOOLING is disabled (commented out and thread will never start) and there is a big chance bfl not to work if it uses cancelable USB transfers and so on

It finally compiled and works now. And my single CPU control PC is at load 2.5. I will build a faster PC for this (just replaced bad caps on the motherboard) and it should work great. I will try overclocking.

How do I specify to cgminer that it should not use the bfl device? I could then run bfgminer for the Single.

As i sad ./autogen.sh --enable-heminerb Only. you will see BFL disabled in the summary Enable only what you need. About CPU usage - I have seen Tplink Cpu at load 45% with 10 HEXA boards....can you post top output? you will see what is loading your cpu but if cgminer was compiled for HEX boards only it shall load 2-5% you cpu assuming you do have one board only

I finally got my order!
I see a lot of default entry's in the tplink configuration of cgminer, is there any manual on how to safely overclock it?

It is overclocked already to safest value. Check voltage to be 900 and clock 540. Do not go above 540 clock it is not working. Try voltage if you feel brave Smiley

Changelog
Code:
HEX16A(Avalon1): Best results 7.4-7.7 Gh/s (16 chips) in terms of stability and clocking are observed at 1460mV core voltage + 480 MHz Clock.


HEX16B(Bitfury): Best results 44.5-45 Gh/s (16 chips) in terms of stability and clocking are observed at 900mV core voltage + 540 Clock.
Do not go above 540 it is not working!


HEX16C(Avalon2): To be tested with 10 chips - 1100mV core voltage + 1500 MHz Clock.

OK, I will recompile it when I transfer it to the faster PC.

The PC is just slow. It was enough for the Single, but obviously not enough for these boards. The CPU is Cyrix MediaGX 233MHz. I have another PC with Celeron 1GHz (TDP 30W), will use that later.

Has anyone found any limit to the number of Hex16b you can USB to the TL-MR3020 router?

Unlimited Smiley

I am joking from a point on i think performance will suffer
But most probably 9-15 will be ok. If you happen to see performance lost just buy second tplink or use Linux PC in that case

I fear that your HEX16B is being used by speedy employee to mining right now.

They used my HEX16A for almost 3 week  Angry

About 3-4 days if using DHL or UPS express saver. Maybe you can ask marto by giving order reference & order date. You see that marto just thought that you are just want to order not already order  Cheesy

I hope all of technoBTCit customer will stated the order reference & order date when asking about order status to make it more quick & easy  Smiley

Yes, l like to place another order, but the first one is not coming,  and I have to know how long it takes to ship to me. So Martin, go go go
