All the rigs I have seen have 17 units in them. Are you saying there are some 18 unit rigs out there?
Come on, man! You're supposed to know everything BFL! But seriously, are you counting to 17 starting from 0, or from 1?

From 0 of course! ttyUSB0 - ttyUSB16 is all I've seen.
Does someone actually have a rig with 18 units that are enumerating as ttyUSB17 for the last one?

Hmm... just got my Single today in the mail (excited!!). Easy miner, however, only lets me choose the radiobubble for "Administrative Options". All the others are greyed out. I can, however, mine with BitMinter, and firmware upload works great. How do I enable mining straight from EasyMiner? In addition... I ran diagnostics, and kinda surprised at the results. 34 throttles (my room is cold... 68F), and 5 errors on the 100 test :/. Did I do something wrong?  when did you order your single?

Check to see that the heatsink's fix pins haven't worked loose in shipping. If the heatsink is firmly in place, then run the auto-tune feature to get your unit at peak performance relative to the operating environment.

All 4 of GIGA's units have 18... http://gigamining.com/mgpumon/Note the last two miners (particularly 119) Umm... didn't I just post that like 2 hours ago?

The lower the firmware that the unit has to run the longer it will take to autotune. When I ran it on mine hoping for a firmware with logic to declock when close to the thermal threshold for my unit I was suprized how long it took. Either let it run or start lower like 808 and work up until it throttles at a 1K test. It will seemingly be faster to use autotune though as it tests for a shorter time and I am unsure how it decides what firmware to actually use but did settle on the one for me that actually matched my testing by hand.

In my case, the firmware takes exactly 3 minutes and 20 seconds to load, and then testing must be done outside of each firmware load, progressing upward until there are errors, and then backing back down.

P.S. the network issues resolving mining at 8TH/s are: 1) Higher difficulty shares 2) Better rolltime cgminer already supports both Any other change is a change to the protocol that doesn't exist yet  P.S. FYI cgminer can already produce 90 shares per work requested on a RigBox

Hahaha Whoops I just realized I am Missing one device!
Heh, first I thought you mean you are missing a mini-rig, didnt you get two ? But I see either 17 o 18 boards inside, hey yours is easier to move and strong still
