GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread

[cekolaw]

cekolaw, those tinypic links are fully of crap, cant navigate back to the forum once i click on them. Loads of ads keep appearing if I try and click "back" in the browser.

Yes, Sir!
Appreciate the feedback, have changed to imgur for the images upload.
Hope is tinypic sites are craps, and not the images ... hehe 

Thanks.

Pics were great 👍🏼

By the way, I was doing a bit of reading on 2Pac stuff today due to some activity in that support thread. Going back over one guy's attempt to separate the 5V line on a 2Pac so he could run the buck power section off a higher voltage reminded me, on the NewPac all 5V devices (this means LDOs, the LEDs, USB chip, everything) pull 5V from downstream of the 2.2ohm buffer resistor near the buck chip.

Which means if you want to split the rails and drive the power section off a higher voltage or separate power source, all you need to do is lift that 2R2 resistor to isolate the two sides of the stick's 5V power systems.

Just, you know, just in case anyone needs that info. For doing something stupid. Also don't forget the inductor is only rated for 17A, which makes it the weak link in the buck.

so  I am mining to solo.ckpool

this bat works

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 -p x

i want to mine to mmpool.org   this bat says it works on cgminer screen but on mmpool.org it does not work
does anyone have a stick on mmpool and is willing to share the bat. they use

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3334 -u philipma1957April2016 --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 -p x

I am using cgminer 4.11.1 windows gekko

note i have used port 3333 and 3334

I just tried mining on the pool using your info Phil (username and password), and cgminer reports the pool as "dead". Also, I see you are still NOT using AsicBoost, which will INCREASE your hashrate! To use AsicBoost, simply add the following syntax to the end of your .bat file:

Code:

--gekko-newpac-boost

So, your .bat file should look like this:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje -p x --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 --gekko-newpac-boost

Typically pools won't have stats for your miner unless you send a share that is accepted.
The pool's default diff is 1M.   Waiting for that 1M share makes it look like you're not mining.

See if you can set it pool side by worker.   The notes I saw say they honor suggested diff.

Probably possible to do:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3334 -u philipma1957April2016 --gekko-compac-freq 150 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 -p x  --suggest-diff 128

Look for the VALUE at the top of cgminer where it says "Connected to pool mmpool.org diff VALUE with stratum..."

@rockmoney
they are not an asic  boost pool

@vh
3333 does allow for 65k
3334 does allow for 1000000

I will try using  --suggest-diff 128

it worked with 128
i bumped it to 512 and it is working thank you.

final bump to 1024 and it works.   sooo  

 --suggest-diff 1024  seems fine

have successfully installed my new gekkoscience newpac, I wanted to know how to overclock to  40 ghs?

use windows 10 -64 bit , Do I have to create custom launch.bat? go to cgminer , I can know how to write.

can anyone tell me the syntax to add to cgminer?    :)thank you

[olseh]

The syntax you need to add is

--gekko-newpac-freq 175

The 175 being the clock speed, so just alter that in 25MHz increments.... ie --gekko-newpac-freq 200 to get your desired speed

[ElbaInvest]

have created the syntax, but cg miner does not start

[gt_addict]

have created the syntax, but cg miner does not start

Post whats in your bat file on here and someone can check it

[ElbaInvest]

ok  , this is my bat file:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu-bch.ss.btc.com:1800 -u Elbaxxxx  -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 175

[sidehack]

40GH is not an overclock for the NewPac, as the stock speed is 45GH. Are you sure you're using a NewPac?

If cgminer fails to start with the --gekko-newpac-freq flag, are you sure you're using the correct build?

When you say "does not start", what's the actual error message you're seeing?

[ElbaInvest]

use new pac have buy now.
use build: cgminer-4.11.1-windows-gekko-3339a51.7z.
cgminer does not open the work window, nothing happens when I throw the bat.
my bat does not start cgminer do not open the program!

[vh]

run the test_mining.bat file that is included in the directory.

if it doesn't start mining, reread the first post for possible missed steps and then post the error here.

if it starts mining, make a copy of it and adjust it a little at a time until it does what you need.

if there is a problem while changing it, reset to the original file to find what causes it to stop running.

Why was the pool showing as dead on cgminer when I used your info the other day then (as can be seen in screenshot on my post)? Perhaps the AsicBoost was not allowing me to connect, which is my best guess.

Find out in a bit if I can mine on that pool with AB disabled, and will be sure that's what it is..

[Cipto1758]

Please help me ...!
Is My NewPac BM1387 Miner Damaged?
I just tried using the NewPac BM1387 Miner in 1 day. more precisely, it only uses around 10 hours with an average yield of 23 GH / s, and I turn it off.
To the next day I want to re-mine with the NewPac BM1387 but it doesn't work, the indicator lights that normally turn on when mining is running now don't turn on again, and the cgminer application doesn't work ...
what's the solution..? Please help and can I get the replacement?
I run mining using MacBook Air Laptops, I connect the NewPac BM1387 device on a Macbook without an additional shield (hub) ..

[sidehack]

If you think there's a problem with the device, you should contact the seller you bought it from.

pretty sure that is the issue  cant use asic boost on mmpool

[ElbaInvest]

ok , have solved with the right string:

Code:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://eu-bch.ss.btc.com:1800 -u Elbaxxxxxx -p 123 --gekko-newpac-freq 175 --suggest-diff 128

this works in windows 10 -64 bit.     action range : 35-48 ghs

I would like to know how to operate my Gekko new PAC in mac osx (I have mac osx high sierra).
