quick update - downloaded the bitminter client just to check if it would recognise the red fury....

NO devices detected again...

really pulling my hair out now

What about buying a RasPi, a Hub and then using MinePeon? It's a standalone solution and not that expensive. There You can configure any PoolYou like and mine.
I can't get the Furys to mine on my Mac too, but with the RasPi they're fine.

I second this solution for these USB miners... it's a no fuss solution.  It's also lower power so you can shut down your PC to save electricity.

They also work very well as a proxy for ASICMiner Cubes.

+1 for that, ......... I have 10 red/bluefury's and 1 twinfury on a Pi with minepeon, all settings are the basic default for minepeon.

ok back again guys....

so i thought i would try the red fury out on my pc as the mac was not playing ball...

i have read that you can run cgminer for the gpu (which i am)

and also bfgminer for the fury...

i have spent a few hours trying to set this up on my Ubuntu pc - i have followed the guide at the start of this post to the letter...

but the pc does not detect the device in the dev folder... i have scanned the folder many times to see something resembling the info in the initial howto guide.

so i am sat with cgminer hashing nicely in one terminal, and another terminal on the final command line from the guide, but without the info to type in as i cant see the device.... this is really frustrating!

it lights up when i plug it etc, so im guessing it works? 

any ideas???

or if it is even possible to have two terminals of cgminer open -

one for the gpu, and one for the red fury.... this would be ideal - but i dont know if it is possible?

thanks in advance

You can run 2 (or more) instances of your favorite miner on Windows.  For example, if you want 2 instances of bfgminer, create 2 sub-directories such as
c:\temp\bfgminer_gpu
c:\temp\bfgminer_BF
download and copy the latest install of bfgminer into each one of these sub-directories.  Create a batch file (or short-cut) for each one of the instances. For the Bf devices run it with something like

bfgminer.exe -G -S bigpic:all -o your_pool  -p your_password

Note that for bfgminer you'll need to install the Com drivers as per the instructions in the OP (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.0.  If you want to run cgminer, you may follow a similar path, but make sure that you either install the USB drivers (using zadig utility) for cgminer OR the Com drivers that are required for bfgminer.  If you already installed the wrong one, you will need to go to Device Manager and modify the driver to the one suitable for your miner application.  You can run a combination of cgminer for some devices and bfgminer for others, as long as you assign each instance to the desired mining devices and have the appropriate drivers installed.  I am running now 4 instances, 2 of bfgminer, 2 of cgminer for 5 different USB controlled miners.

Good luck

have you tried running using sudo? also recent versions of cgminer don't support GPUs anymore.

I have a couple of spare slots on my usb hubs and I was wondering whether I have enough power in the new psu's I bought to run some more miners. I recall people on this thread saying that the Blue Furies are power hungry and I've found that out the hard way as they've already burnt out the original psu's supplied with the hubs. Therefore the question I'd like to ask is:

Does anyone have an exact amp draw figure that each Blue Fury uses please?

My feeling is that each Blue Fury draws in excess of the supposed 0.5A, but does anyone have an idea what a likely more accurate figure would be?

Thanks for any help you're able to offer.

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful, much appreciated.

Any idea how many amps each Blue Fury chews through at optimum power?

510mA plus 20 % for the hub = allow for 620mA per stick at stock speed of  2.33Gh

Ok, great, this is the information I was looking for, thanks very much. Although it's not exactly what I wanted to hear as I don't think I should add any more usbs as I'm probably right on the borderline of maximum safe power consumption already.

Really appreciate your help.

a little more pencil with a fan on them now..

http://i44.tinypic.com/2e2qlc4.png

Holy shnikes!!! Batman! Bitterdog how in the name of Hades did you get them to 3GHS?
I have two Blue Furys that I can only get a little over 2.4-ish GHS out one and 2.2-ish out of the other. That's with the pencil mod and a fan on them. I'm using a BFGMiner 3.4.0 on a Pi and a powered Belkin 7 port USB Hub that I got form bestbuy. Could that be it??? I got an Antminer that I got overclocked using x0981 and it's hashing just under what my Furys are hashing at with 0% errors. The Antminer is hashing at about 2.1 GHS. Which I think is AWESOME! The Furys are getting about 3%-6% error rate. Which sounds like that's the norm for them.
Thanks!

I think it's important to use a classic/generic soft Pencil (strength HB) as opposed to some other "hard" types that would last much longer writing but won't give enough abrasion on the surface (thus not doing much for the desired function, especially since it's not paper in this case).

My first attempts were made with a too hard pencil and basically had almost no effect.
Then I overdid it using a classic soft HB grade pencil and my BlueFuries went to well beyond 3GHs which caused me to carefully undo and re-apply the pencil mod.

For now I'm running two at about 2.45Ghs and one at 2.8GHs with no unusual HW error rates or other malfunctions (have a big USB fan keeping them very cool).

I used a I think a HB pencil first, then re-did it using a 4B with a little bit of 6B on top of it. They seem to like the 4B pencil better. That's why I was asking if my USB hub could be the cause of not hitting numbers past 2.4 GHS.
Before I used the 4B I was getting about 2.3 and 2.2 GHS. With the 4B last night the most I got out of it is 2.46 and 2.33 GHS. That's with me watching and refreshing minepeon as I'm doing it. Could it be that minepeon doesn't have that most updated version of BFGMiner??? At this point I'm just happy that I was one of the few who just plugged in my Furies and they were up and running out of the box. I had to fiddle around a little bit to get the Antminer running right. It doesn't like going past x0981. I tired x0A81 but it wasn't going past 2.1 GHS and it had like 20% errors.
This is the hub I got.

Nice looking hub, how close are the devices when side by side ?

What is the 5v wallwart rated at in amps ?

How many fury devices are on the hub ?

Are they cooled ?

I found out what I was doing "wrong". I was using the pencil on the top part of the sides of R15. I used my pencil on both the top and the sides. It got to hashing nice! What I mean by sides is where the soldering is on the board. The one that was only getting to about 2.2GHS hit 3.2 - 3.3GHS! I was like YEAH!_! The one that was hitting 2.4GHS hit 3.7GHS last night! The error rate on it was high though, so I had to tame it back a little.  Wink
As far as your questions freddyfarnsworth.
I have both furies at opposite ends of the hub but they are side by side. I have the Antminer on a different hub all by itself.
I looked up the specs on the hub I have and I couldn't find $h!+ besides what bestbuy already has on their site. Not even the box it came in has any real specs for it. I went to check if I could find anymore info on it's plug but all the info is on the side that plugs into the wall and with the furies hitting 3+GHS. I didn't feel like chancing it buy unplugging the hub.
I have two furies that before last night were hitting about 2.4GHS and 2.2GHS
Yep they're cooled! They're in a room that stays cool and has a ceiling fan. I also have a desk fan on them too.
Oh! And I was right. They really do like the 4B pencil better.  Grin

I just got a red fury and am running it on my mac with Asteroid. I'm getting 2.4GH/s, with less than 0.1% rejects,  which I am satisfied with.

Question: After about an hour of running the heat sink has a temperature of about 120 deg F (50 C) and the chip on the end of the circuit board is at about 130 deg F (55 C). This is with no fans or additional cooling. Is this a safe operating temperature, or do I need to use a fan?

Thanks,
Rick

those are actually on the very cool end.  the 4 nanofuries and the 1 protofury (redfury prototype release) that i have all run with just passive cooling at 160 deg F no issue at STP. the protofury(BPMC BF1) is hashing at 2.85Ghash/sec


with all the HW i have i should probably throw a fan their way. but considering they're in a windowsill(where they run much cooler) and its minus 2 deg F outside atm. no worries. MOAR OC.  Cool Cool Cool

Hello, i was wondering why my Blue Fury won't work, I've plugged it into my MinePeon run raspberry pi, no luck, and my computer, again no luck. I can see that its getting power because the lights come on. But it doesn't seem to work.  Cry

Thank you!
