If you see this than your device is properly installed.
4. Extract the archive and just run cgminer.exe to test your installation
4.1 Edit cgminer.conf to suit your needs, the config file is with common settings for all supported devices.
you need Notepad++ to see linebreaks in cgminer.conf5. Run cgminer.exe, if the board is not detected or you get some errors just replug it.
5.1 /not needed anymore/ In case that the board is still not recognized after replugging the usb cable, try edit the cgminer.conf field corresponding to your board:
"set_default_to_c" : false,
change to
"set_default_to_c" : true,
Here we go
