The Compac F miners are bad ass!  I would like the opportunity to get a few more.

So I got my CompacF running today on my RasPi but it was really intermittent.
It ran a short while and was vey hot to the touch, then i got the dreaded smell of frying electronics, now the red LED wont come on and the Pi and other computers fail to recognise it at all.

Am I right to think it just straight burned out and its dead now? Sad

Where you running it with a cooling fan?

Hi all,

Just started out mining on a RaspPi for the first time.
I'm trying to adjust the frequency using some of the tips mentioned here but the freq stays at the stock 200MHz. What am I missing here?
Here is how I set it up.

Code:
sudo cgminer -o stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 -u JohnnyHash.worker -p x --suggest-diff 128 --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-tune-up 85

As a beginner, I ignored the notion that these sticks are not for me because I think they are just too cool to pass on, please forgive my eagerness to jump in the deep.

I tried adding in the '--gekko-compacf-detect' but this doesn't seem to do anything.

How are you powering the Compac F?

Three ideas Smiley

1) --suggest-diff 442
Using lower will be ignored on my pool
Or just set it on the Workers->Management page to 442

2) try: --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60
Of course, as obvious, make sure it has enough cooling

3) grab a screen shot so we can see what it says

Ran the code as prescribed (image link 1) but to no effect.. Before that I went through the cgminer installation process again to make sure all was in order there.

The frequency stays at 200MHz and does not change at all. Here's a screenshot of what I see. https://imgur.com/h4VH7f9

Could it be a hardware related issue like insufficient power supply or am I missing something here..? The stick itself seems to be running fine in its current state and is cooled to around 27 degrees celsius.

Thanks in advance!

T: is the target you've told it to run at.
That screen says it was told to run at 200MHz

My only guess is that there's a config file telling it to run at 200
(aside: 200 is the default)

The config file is
 ~/.cgminer/cgminer.conf
or
 /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf

Wish me luck - after running over a week at 400 with no issues going to push it to 450 and see if the smoke stays inside the sticks Smiley

Update: Looks like with the BitCoinMech USB hub the max might be 425 with three sticks. I did tweak the pot screw a bit to get this working but at 450 just didn't seem to settle down in a stable state.

Might buy more sticks and try a different hub as an experiment.

Yea get a different hub (gekko hub is best) Unless you can find something that tells you how the ports are divided for power.

I suppose I'm just opening cgminer. Here is exactly every step I took up to this point:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev git

cd
git clone https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer.git
cd cgminer

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fcommon" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko --enable-icarus

sudo make install

cd cgminer
sudo cgminer -o stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 -u *******.worker -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60

Then when it starts running the T value and frequency are both 200. In the dir 'cgminer', when I type 'ls', no cgminer.conf file is listed but when I type '/root/.cgminer/cminer.conf' it returns "access denied."

Really hope you guys can help because I don't want to give up. Please excuse my ignorance!  Undecided

I might be wrong but I think it's one of two things. Maybe both.

1. In your last line change it to ./cgminer
Code:
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://nl.kano.is:3333 -u *******.worker -p x --gekko-compacf-freq 450 --gekko-start-freq 300 --gekko-mine2 --gekko-tune2 60
2. Did you run the commands for USB port access? I'm pretty sure I found that in this forum somewhere. It's just two lines of commands you need to run, but I'd try #1 above first.

Type the following 2 commands:

rm -vf ~/.cgminer/cgminer.conf
sudo rm -vf /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf
