Is a certain amount of hardware error acceptable? What actually happens when there is a hardware error? I'm using CGminer 3.8.2 on a Win 7 PC. All miners are directly connected to a USB port not using a hub. This is what I'm getting, speed don't seem to be that great too.  Cry
That's by design in these chips. An error rate around 10% is to be expected. I can make it read zero artificially in cgminer if you like...

The best unmodified hashrate on these devices you can expect is 2.3GH on some of them. Most are in the 2-2.2GH rate until they're modded.

Anyone else noticed that sometimes the LED's on the Blues just blink red on and off but sometimes they light up alternate yellow > orange > red and don't blink at all?

It doesn't make any difference to the hashing speed, just wondered why this was

I know in BGFMiner you can toggle an identify switch, which switches the miner from showing the yellow LED on or off, personally i prefer it off with a red flash for accepted work.

Where can I access the toggle?
In bfgminer (just tried on ver 3.6.0) type 'M' (case doesn't matter, for 'manage'), move the up/down arrows to highlight the device that you want to identify, type 'I' (or 'i'), this will toggle the LED pattern.
When finished, just press the 'Enter' enter key.

Cheers

Was wondering, since this thread also pertains to the Red Fury miners, why not edit the title? So that people who have the Red Fury can easily look for the thread. Just a thought Smiley

It's not a problem. COM1 is resreved by the system for something else. S xx:All tries to send data on all com ports but was refused on COM1.

You could run BFGMiner as admin you would not get error but might mess up whatever is on COM1 when it send scan data on it.

Best to leave it alone.

Is COM11 the Fury? Do you have a VM this USB support turned on? that is still an indication that some other process has reserved COM11 for it's own use.

I some how changed ti to COM16 and I still get the same error, this is pretty depressing, I paid alot of money for this. Perhaps I need a new driver where can I download the latest driver for it? If that is not the problem PLEASE help me fix it.

Just be sure your windows user has admin privileges. Or run bfgminer v.3.6.0 or above as the admin user.
This does not work. All the lights on my block erupters go off when they go into operation but the redfury's light stays on and it is not working..

There's no doubt that dealing with these Blue Furies is time consuming at first, but you're going to have to deal with that if you want to get them working. It will happen, you just have to go through everything and double-check it, try new things, each persons system and set up is different so keep trying and don't forget that sometimes you need to pull out the Furies from the usb hub between attempts at running bfgminer as if you don't, sometimes your Furies won't be recognised.

There's now 32 pages of good info on this support page and a whole range of solutions have been proposed and refined by commentators. I'd obviously suggest that you read the whole thread to see the evolution of how things have unfolded and what mistakes not to make but if you're in a hurry, have a look at my post on page 14 of this thread as it details ways to get both the Blue Furies and Block Erupters working side by side. There's other comments pertinent to the matter after my post, like not requiring the Icarus string in the second instance of bfgminer that you run, so take a look and keep going, it is a pain, but it will happen.

Good luck.

Current cgminer has no GPU mining code so it will only mine on devices you consciously set up by associating the WinUSB driver with them.

just speaking with a colleague, if the current draw is correct, we could see some USB hubs get overload with too many modded furies.

I'm going to check the draw against a usb 2 port tonight when I get home.

ok so  I have them working in cgminer the only problem now is that they are only running at like 1GH and another running at 900MH/s and one that seems to be ok.

Any ideas how to fix this problem as works perfectly fine using bfgminer

Anyone who has done the pencil mod can you be as kind to upload a few pictures of the lines on what parts how thing etc to do the lins. Thx in advance.

Where the white line is where you want to use your pencil on the side of that resistor. Don't waste your time doing it on the top. There is some sort of coating that the graphite wont stick to.



did the pencil mod jumped to 2.62 from 2.29.  my hub has 9 be's and one red fury. i am using a 10 port aitech black all aluminum hub with a 5amp 12 volt brick.  before the mod my k-watt meter was 34.7 watts it is now 35.1 watts. i did 3 pencil rubs with light pressure.  i need to get more sticks.  but .4 watt = .4gh boost not bad.

I went back traced the spot 3 more times now read 2.73/2.62/2.51.  the  power went up some  more and a fan is a must.  but looks like running this at 2.6 is possible with pencil trick.
  I did the second mod hot since I am a bit more comfortable with doing it. I am thinking ten of these at will pull around 38 watts  at the plug hashing at 26gh.  pretty good numbers
