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?

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. 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.

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

Before that I went through the cgminer installation process again to make sure all was in order there. https://imgur.com/mDyLJ8oThe frequency stays at 200MHz and does not change at all. Here's a screenshot of what I see. https://imgur.com/h4VH7f9Could 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

Are you running your own .sh file or just opening cgminer?

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: 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!

Really hope you guys can help because I don't want to give up. Please excuse my ignorance! I might be wrong but I think it's one of two things. Maybe both. 1. In your last line change it to ./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 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
