@ OS2sam, all the wires the same color? If so then the PSU does not meet the ATX standards
On my Seasonic Titanium they are all black. Talk about cutting every fraction of a penny they can on production costs... That is taking it too far. The only reasoning I can see is someone decided, "if a customer wants to use the mobo plug then they have access to something like the Wikipedia on ATX and can look at the pinouts. Who needs colors `cause they would know the colors from the same spec sheet as the pinouts!" In that wiki, search for "color" to see what the 20-pin plug is supposed to use. I hope they did not also decide to use aluminum wiring for the flying leads... Twits.

Am i doing something wrong is there a new driver to download. Please help. <massive snip> Because cgminer is sometimes included in malware programs to mine in the background without the PC user knowing it, Norton and most AV programs erroneously tag cgminer as malware. Just tell your AV program to ignore it. Also there is a newer version of cgminer, it was updated by Kano to run Sidehack's latest stick and improve operation of his older ones. The whole shebang for it is here.Trimmed version dealing with using the Win binary, edit: The Zadig USB driver is here https://zadig.akeo.ie/

Where do you measure the voltage at on the NewPac? Does anyone have a voltage chart showing what voltage for a given frequency?

Newbie question.
I have an r606 currently mining. If I were to purchase a couple of the newpac f sticks can I plug them into the same computer and mine with them as well using cgminer?

The new sticks (well all the sticks) need a powered hub to run best. You shouldn't run them on an un-powered or directly on inbuilt ports on a PC.

Hi, I have a gekko new usb miner, I have installed cgminer on rasperry pi 4. For now it is working on solo.ckpool.org, it seems to work fine. The only problem is that I can't increase the frequency, overclocking doesn't work for me. If I add the option for example it always remains at 100 MHz. Any set frequency always remains at 100 Mhz! What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me please?

Is it directly powered by the Pi or are you using a decent powered USB hub that can supply up to 2.5A? All of the USB sticks must be ran off of a powered hub as they exceed the typical 500ma a PC port will supply.

Hi NotFuzzyWarm thanks for the reply Yes, the GekkoNewpac is powered by a powerful USB-Hub there is no problem with that ... That is not a powerful hub. I wouldn't want to run more than two sticks on that max. If the target frequency is always at 100m then there is an issue with your .sh file. What does your .sh file say?

I only have one GekkoNewPac so this hub for one is more than enough. If the target frequency is always at 100m then there is an issue with your .sh file.
What does your .sh file say?
which .sh file do you mean? Thanks

Hi there ! Getting stuck with one of my NewPac Miner, still 0 Chip(s) message coming from CGMiner. I'm running my whole set with a RaspberryPi 4 , and a 10 ports Sipolar USB hub. I've got this message concerning the micro temp. What's the matter with this key ? https://i.postimg.cc/QdRjcpfw/proof.png

Have you tried creating a .sh file with all the details in which you then make executable and run that. Hi there !

If you have tried swapping it to different known good ports on the hub and the voltage pot is the same position as the working sticks and there is no visible signs of damage then I would say its a dead stick.

Cam I get some help on building cgminer? Already got the NewPac running under Win10, but how do I build my own cgminer with NewPac driver for Windows? It seems that I should do it under linux? But where is the source code with the driver? Nerver tried linux before, can I do it with vmware? A little confused here, Im new to this btw

Have you tried creating a .sh file with all the details in which you then make executable and run that. No I don't know how to do it, can you tell me how? I try to create a .sh file like this: sudo /home/pi/git/vthoang/cgminer/cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u <my_btc_address> -p x --gekko-newpac-boost --gekko-newpac-freq 400
Always the same, work fine but only 100 MHz

Always the same, work fine but only 100 MHz Open a new text document in the cgminer folder. Write your command line but start it “cgminer -o …….etc” save it as a .sh file eg.gekko.sh. Close it and find the .sh file in the folder. It will have a picture of some cogs as the icon. Right click on it and change the permission to “make executable”. Save and close that window. Double click on the same icon and it should ask if you want to execute in terminal. Select that option and if its done correctly it will open terminal and run.

@gt_addict hello and thanks, I tried as you say but unfortunately always the same, only 100 MHz. Despite this I have found that it loads the configuration from /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf. With the command I entered this hidden folder and modified the cgminer.conf file with 400 MHz. Then I ran the ./cgminer -o etc file (same if directly or from .sh file) IT WORKS now goes to 400 MHz and of course I have the fan otherwise it gets too hot I Hope it can be of help for someone else, thanks for the help anyway

Yep that seems to be an issue some people are having. It runs from that config file instead of the user made one. Never had that issue myself but it certainly seems to be a common problem.

I think people sometimes, unwittingly, save the config which writes a .conf file and then the command line gets overridden from then on.

Wes0310, according to the device line, cgminer is only detecting 1 chip on that stick. If it's brand-new (just received), it's probably damaged and should be replaced. If it's not new, could be the voltage is set way too low and it's not picking up properly, or the voltage is set too high and it's overheating.
Adjust the voltage up a bit, make sure you have good cooling, and try it again. Sometimes an unplug-replug will take care of that.
gt_addict, I had similar issues with temp sensors not reporting on some advanced-controls prototype sticks last summer but chalked it up to the firmware. This one's code is much more robust, and when I first got temp sensors going I let one run for a week without any hiccups. But something's for sure going on, and the "quick fix" is just disabling that part pending a redesign. I can probably get the same functionality out of the microcontroller's internal temp sensor, though it's not as close to the heatsinks so won't read out the same which is why I didn't want to rely on it. Might have that implemented before Batch 2 starts shipping.
Additionally, I have a couple pods here that, on volt setting 4, could only hit something like 535MHz but were otherwise great. So everything will be tested at Volt 4 but with a second round at Volt 5 if it's only a few percent low. We did a similar adjust-retest for the weaker 2Pacs and nobody complained.
I've been trying to get support from my reseller on Amazon but just getting ignored My R606 keeps doing this as well after running fine for a month or so. It will turn on normally but as soon as I plug the USB I get the GSI failure, disabling error and it keeps restarting. Could you let me know which is the temp sensor I could try to replace it. Thanks
