That looks really neat and tidy, nice work!

[gt_addict]

Thanks I’m pleased with it  

Also I noticed yesterday that the R606 was resetting quite often on Voltage 6 so bumped it up to Level 7 and left it for a few hours. It didn’t help so thought to myself I’ll try going down the Level 5, amazingly its running better setting the voltage lower

Looks good to me. Like the filter. I use something similar on my rack with with other units. Nice to reduce the need to open up and dust.

No need to touch the voltage pot on these really. Have you tried a different hub? Different ports? What machine are you running on?

[FomR]

I already tried different ports and hub. Even directly to my pc. still nothing.

have you tried running at 100Mhz to see what the unit does at stock speeds?

What pc are you running it on? Have you returned the voltage pot to the standard position?

[FomR]

Yep. I tried setting them back to original spot. Not even 1 degree mistake. And im running them on windows 10.
100Mhz the same.

[gt_addict]

Have you done zadig for both sticks? Have you tried the “lowboost/noboost” option?

[FomR]

yeppy yep.

[vickersja]

Here is the code that worked for me.  However, I could never get these things to work at a decent capacity.  They kept auto tuning down.  I tried the Plugable Hub and GekkoScience Hub.

On Windows 10:

Code:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u address.worker -p x --gekko-newpac-freq 200 --suggest-diff 128 --gekko-lowboost

If the other sticks work and this one does not you may have a bad stick.

[FomR]

I tried it but cgminer wont start. The windowpop-ups then close suddenly.

[Fruitman]

Hello,

i set the latest raspbian version now and the sticks are running without crashing, but now i have the problem that i can only add 11 sticks, when i add the 12th it will crash directly when starting and gives me a - libusb timeout error... 

i tried the sticks seperatly and also the ports, all is working fine but only with maximum of 11 sticks.

Is there a solution for this problem? i have 14 ports and 14 miners (2x original gekkoscience hyena hub). 12 newpac and 2 2pac sticks.

Help would be nice! thank you

I tried it but cgminer wont start. The windowpop-ups then close suddenly.

That means there is an error. I assume you have changed the various addresses and pools to your own? Check they are spelt correctly. Also are you using VH’s version of cgminer?

I tried it but cgminer wont start. The windowpop-ups then close suddenly.

Run it in a DOS window so that you can see what the error message is.

[gt_addict]

I swear I read there a “pause” option you could put at the end of the .bat file to stop the screen closing.

[klintay]

yup add pause to the end of your bat file and it won't suddenly close like that any more...

there is user guide here that has step by step instructions for the r606 and cgminer bat files: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91prf5qA73L.pdf
