Links updated, sorry about that. On the next build I'll add support for BFL and other common ASIC devices

Try: "set_default_to_b" : true, also set voltage to 900mv "hexminerb-voltage" : "900", "hexminerb-options" : "16:540",

Also, you can try to plug in the device's USB cable to the router/computer only after cgminer has fully started. That makes a difference for me. Sometimes the power supply is not properly connected to your device. If it is the 4 pin molar connector type, sometimes you can get it to start after unplugging the connector and reinserting it to make sure you have the plug firmly connected. If it is the two screw wire connection type, then you have some extra work to do in order to make sure that you have a good electrical connection. Use the proper gauge of wire to ensure a snug fit. I use the power from the PCI-e power supply connector. You must observe the pin-out diagrams of the PCI-e connector: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.bestofmicro.com%2F%2C8-L-312645-3.jpg&t=665&c=qFbsHZuxQ8RGtw) Ground is on the clip side of the connector, and +12 v is on the side without the clip. The connection to the miner 2 pin screw terminal is red (+12 v) to the right terminal (the outer edge of the circuit board) and the black wire (ground) in the left screw terminal (pointing in the direction of the fan). The tricky part for the power supply when using the PCI-e connector is making a reliable connection that will not be tugged out inadvertently. Something I learned by trial and error when I would come back and notice that the miner had lost power because the wires got loose and lost connection.

The power supply itself should be fine, I was just indicating that troubleshooting the quality of your connection to the tecnobit miner would be a good place to start.

You haven't specified which configuration your power connector is on the miner. The older boards were all 4 pin molex, and the more recent ones replaced that with 2 screw (R2) terminals to accept 2 wires that are 16-18 AWG. The 4 pin molex type board can be supplied with either the 4 pin molex connector or the SATA with a SATA to 4 pin molex adapter. I had to buy a couple of those because I ran out of the 4 pin molex power connectors.
With the 2 screw in connector, there are several options: Molex, Sata, PCI-E, and CPU lines. So long as you don't try to use the motherboard connector.

In that case you would use the 4 pin molex connector from the ATX power supply, or the SATA connector through the following adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WSUZH0/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The other options for troubleshooting this could include: - Try this on a different computer. I had to eventually give up on trying to get this to work on one of my computers. - Try adding a USB hub between the computer and the miner. Use a different USB cable to make sure you have a good one. Also, certain computers don't play nice with the miner's USB connection. - Try using a different ATX power supply. - If all else fails, you could still use the original Hexminer software. I ran it for a couple months with my miners, before I was able to figure out how to get cgminer for windows to work. It is less stable and crashes more easily, but still works ok.

Now I got to work on my hex16b2. Thanks you for helping!!

Unfortunately we are rapidly approaching the end of the line for the useful life of this miner. Considering the power consumption is just under 4 watts per GH.

For me the Avalon gen.1 devices are dead already, but the HEX16Bs are ok and A1 too, even my HEX16A2 (Avalon2) is still hashing with 14GH/s (undervolted)

Yeah, on second thought I think you are right. With the help of your version of CGMINER I am now over the 0.65 BTC mark with my 6 miners. If I manage to pass the 1 BTC level, I think that they will have served their purpose. I dropped the voltage slightly and am still averaging over 120 GH.

I run my HEX16A2 at 1050/900 ~17GH: HEXc 0: 1050 900/ 917mV | 17.70G/16.70Gh/s | A:171008 R:1248 HW:2262/1.25% WU:233.3/m It's very cold, so I assume the consumption is low
